Vienna Vocal Consort: BYRD
(klanglogo KL1403)

The new release by the Vienna Vocal Consort centres around William Byrd (ca. 1539-1623). Apart from the Mass for five voices we handpicked some of the well-known English and Latin motets of the famous English composer. The beauty of Byrds music is incredibly tempting. But in our interpretation, we deliberately aimed to go further and reveal the true core, exposing both the intimacy and emotion within the composition. >>>more

"O Magnum Mysterium"

G.P. da Palestrina: O Magnum Mysterium

"A fantastic cd, named after the recorded christmas mass by G. P. da Palestrina (1525-1594), has been published by the Vienna Vocal Consort under their own label "Usha Records". The enrapturing accoustics of the church, together with the wonderful voices and the technical brilliance of their performance makes this a beautiful recording."

"Die Zeit der Sinnlichkeit"

Die Zeit der Sinnlichkeit - The Era of Sensuality

"The Vienna Vocal Consort, a committed, and obviously virtuosic vocal ensemble dedicates its latest efforts to difficult works of the Renaissance, ranging from H. Isaacs severe Easter mass to elegant and mesmerizing Italian madrigals. The recording takes the listener on a journey to the polyphonic art of the Dutch school, as well as to early English love lyrics, offering first hints at sentiments later to be found in operatic works. Brilliant." (Austrian newspaper "Die Presse", Nov. 16th, 2001)
