Notes & Reviews:

After completing their original trilogy devoted to Guillaume Dufay (two volumes of motets and one of chansons) and before setting out on their next large-scale project, Giuseppe Maletto and Cantica Symphonia reduced their ensemble to its vocal core and arranged themselves in front of the microphones - in order to make what quite possibly will be the most personal disc of their careers. The result is a series of intimate sessions made across 2007 and 2008, all of them in that acoustic in which they have been rehearsing, performing and recording for many years, the Piedmontese church of the "Colletto".

Organists Review
An intense musical and spiritual experience... Blend, control and breadth of tone abound... if Renaissance polyphony is one of your great loves, then this is a most important addition to your listening library.

Gramophone Magazine
The vocal quartet's tone is gentle and not overly assertive... at its best the results are very satisfying. Isaac's setting of the popular Alma redemptoris chant is glowingly done, and incidentally captures the outgoing euphony that makes him such an attractive composer.
