Music Review: The Best Choice Available...
Rating: 4 Stars
... for Josquin's sublime Missa de Beata Virgine, and for anything at all by Jean Mouton, who was Josquin's student and Adrian Willaert's teacher, making him the essential link between the franco-Flemish masters and their North Italian successors. Mouton, of all Josquin's disciples, sounded the most like him, as this performance amply demonstrates. Mouton's polyphonic motets are as serenely beautiful as any music of the Renaissance, but Mouton is almost non-existent on CDs.
Paul Hillier spent some years teaching at the University of California in Davis; while he was there, he put together a 'west coast' version of the Theater of Voices, using several former members of the ensemble Chanticleer together with some excellent women singers. This CD is one embodiment of the 'west coast' Theater of Voices, and it's not as supremely polished as the Hilliards, or any number of British vocal ensembles. The sound is a little too choir-like for my pleasure, but the interpretation - in rhythm and phrasing - is very fine and insightful. If you want to hear Jean Mouton, this is by far the best choice available.
