Stephen Rice The Brabant Ensemble - Guerrero: Missa Ecce sacerdos magnus, Magnificat & Motets [CD]

With radiant accounts from The Brabant Ensemble of the Mass, a Magnificat and a selection of motets, this album of first recordings is a major addition to Guerrero's still select discography.

"Stephen Rice's vocal forces generate an appropriate emotional response. The six-voice Gaude Barbara (a motet celebrating St Barbara) is suitably energetic, while the more restrained Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini (Psalm 136) brings expressive weight to the plight of the Jews fleeing Jerusalem. If not quite inhabiting a sense of grief, its long-limbed phrases bring yearning to this intimate account." – Opera Today

"The Brabant Ensemble finds a luminous lightness of touch, reserved and elegant" – Choir & Organ, Early Music Round Up

"this makes a terrific introduction to the wide-ranging output of the 16th-century Spanish composer-cum-priest. Only the occasional loose edge in the livelier works mars the otherwise highly disciplined choral ensemble of a group that at its finest blends to simply glorious effect." – BBC Music Magazine ****

"All along, the Brabant Ensemble is up to their most expressive best. They sing with faultless tuning and generally excellent diction" – MusicWeb International

JEAN MOUTON: Missa Faulte d'argent & Motets (CDA68385)

"The Brabant Ensemble perform his works with verve and brilliance." - Gramophone

"The Brabant Ensemble is, as always, outstanding the precision of tone, vibrabcy and ensemble flawless......an exceptional disc." - Yorkshire Times

JOSQUIN DES PREZ: Motets & Mass Movements (CDA68321)

The ensemble's sound is clean and ingenuous throughout: boyish sopranos and altos are balanced by fresh-voiced tenors and basses, intonation is nigh flawless. Rice and his singers subtly capture the emotional and spiritual gamut of these works." - BBC Music Magazine
