5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent disc from The Clerks' Group 17 Jan 2010
By Sid Nuncius HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
The Clerks' Group have made dozens of really good recordings over their distinguished career (now well over fifteen years) and this stands with their best, I think. If you know their outstanding performances of Ockeghem you won't be disappointed with these two Requiem masses from two composers of a slightly later generation. Of the two, I would say that Pierre de la Rue's setting is the more rewarding, but both are excellent and I listen to them often and with great pleasure.

The singing is uniformly excellent: expressive, sensitive to the text and technically faultless. The sound made by the ensemble is very lovely, I think - not perhaps as smooth and polished as some ensembles, but full of character. The de la Rue Requiem has a particularly rich sound because of its low pitch, with the basses (including Edward Wickham himself) plumbing spine-tingling, almost Russian depths. It's fabulous. A very warmly recommended disc.

(You may also be interested in two other wonderful recordings of Pierre de la Rue's other masses, by Henry's Eight La Rue: Missa Cum Iocunditate, Motets and by Amarcord Incessament. They are among my favourite discs.)

5.0 out of 5 stars It gets my vote too 5 Nov 2011
By E. L. Wisty TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Amazon Verified Purchase
After the other reviews, I won't add too much verbiage here to my thumbs up on this on. The Clerks' Group have become one of my favourite if not indeed my favourite Renaissance vocal ensembles - they are consistently of the highest class and every one of their recordings I have heard is a must have. It's a crying shame that many of their recordings are out of print at the current time, and as a relative latecomer to this ensemble, I can only hope and pray that they will be re-released some time in the future.

By Aquinas
Being fairly new to this small ensemble, I find myself time and time again being astonished at the beauty and intensity of their singing. At first hearings, the De La Rue mass with Gregorian chant interwoven with polyphony appears stronger musically than Brumel - even so, the Brumel is very attractive.
