Description
In the service of the Habsburg-Burgundian Chapel, a musical and ecclesiastical establishment, Pierre de La Rue was the leading figure in composition working north of the Alps at the turn of the 15th century. This set presents the first recording of La Rue's seven surviving Magnificats, as well as three of his six settings of the Salve Regina, which quote from the chansons of Dufay and Binchois. This is music of considerable variety; expanded vocal ranges, surprising tonal relationships and a sparkling musical texture in which La Rue's distinctions between the new and old styles (such a prominent feature of his works), emerge with great expressive force.
