The Gesualdo Six and director Owain Park (also the group's bass) have expanded their mission quite a bit beyond performances of music by their namesake, recording Renaissance polyphony from various countries. Their precise, close-up sound is instantly appealing and arguably more emotionally involving than the classic cathedral choir recordings of repertory like that on this 2021 release. A specific aspect of Josquin's legacy is explored here: music of the composers who worked after Josquin at the court of the Este family in Ferrara. The program begins with a motet by Ockeghem, possibly Josquin's teacher, and the inspiration for Josquin's magnificent ode Nymphes des bois, memorializing Ockeghem. The text for that piece mentions several other composers whom Ockeghem influenced that are included here, and they're both unfamiliar and of high quality. Consider the serene setting of Infelix ego of Adrian Willaert. There are also some big motets by Josquin himself. Listeners have to accept the idea of one-voice-per-part performance when the norm was probably more, but even those favoring a choral approach will admit that in the minimal textures of Josquin's Tu solus qui facis mirabilia, the clean, sharp sound of The Gesualdo Six is marvelously effective. Hyperion's sound from All Hallows Church, Gospel Oak, London, is excellent, and this may well be an album that will draw new listeners to the repertory of the early 16th century.
