Overview
Here the Belgian choir joins with another of Europe’s finest early music ensembles to focus on important but neglected Baroque works. Of their disc of the Biber Requiem, BBC Music Magazine suggested that not only the text but ‘all the details of Biber’s complex musical tapestry cut through … Intense but never histrionic, the performance captures the work’s power and its intimacy.’
