Title: Superb la Rue Mass fails to communicate
Product review: It is unfortunate that the present recording is the only one available of this beautiful and highly approachable Mass by the still under-rated Pierre de la Rue. The singing is very ordinary, with poor balance, intonation and ensemble. The vexed issue of 'musica ficta' is also poorly handled, making this performance almost unlistenable to someone - like me - with particular ideas on this subject. The Lamentations are no better, I am afraid.
