Following on from their successful last recording, Josquin the Undead this new recording of Antione Brumel's Earthquake Mass is a welcome addition

Graindelavoix is an Antwerp- based music and art ensemble founded in 1999. Helmed by founder- director Bjorn Schmelzer, it is committed to offering a contemporary and critical interpretation of mainly historical, vocal repertoires.

It would be difcult to fnd a composition that resembles the twelve-part mass Et ecce terrae motus by Antoine Brumel (ca.1460-ca.1513). The almost continuous scoring with twelve voices and its musical effect give the work a unique position in Renaissance music. Brumel made a name for himself in the European music world of the 16th century with this unique experiment.

Bjorn Schmelzer and Graindelavoix present here a recording whose artistic uncompromisingness really does have the effect of an earthquake.
