Title: What a disappointment!
Review: I bought this CD as I remember listening to Josquin Desprez and Palestrina when I took a music history class years ago, and absolutely loved their music. From the first track on, though, it was a painful experience. The choral sound was heavy and romanticized with obvious vibrato, and then there was that annoying trumpet doubling on the melody!! I had hoped that this recording would bring back the mysterious beauty and simplicity of these pieces, as they were intended to be performed, but this CD was a major disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
