Sacred music of the Renaissance from the members of the Cappella Sistina by Guillaume Dufay, Josquin Desprez, Andreas de Silva, Carpentras and Costanzo Festa

Josquin Capella, Conductor Meinolf Brüser

The Cappella Sistina is not only the name of the famous church in the Vatican with Michelangelo's rich fresco work, but also of the papal vocal ensemble that sang there - always unaccompanied. Since the 15th century, it attracted outstanding vocal composers throughout Europe. How they always dealt with their own traditions in their liturgical works for Rome is fascinatingly traced by the Josquin Capella in its selection of music over more than a century, from Guillaume Dufay to Costanzo Festa. Of course, the ensemble's namesake is not to be missed.
