High Renaissance with Cantar Lontano... that wine needs no praise. Still in doubt? Then we add that the outstanding singers with Marco Mencoboni dedicate their L'homme armé passage to Francisco Guerrero. His Mass for four high voices further spices up the already spicy Iberian polyphony recipe with the ingenious incorporation of the illustrious song as cantus firmus. Gregorian chants and a selection of Marian motets complete the menu. With special thanks to the Nationaal Muziekinstrumenten Fonds for making available the Monteverdi organ, built in 2020 by Klop after an idea and initiative by Krijn Koetsveld.
