About
“Josquin’s restless, searching intellect is on display in every one of his Mass settings, yet few offer as great a contrast as Missa Gaudeamus and Missa L’ami Baudichon. Can the same man write so diversely? I say genius on this scale knows no rules.” (Peter Phillips)

December 2018
This is the seventh of nine projected discs in The Tallis Scholars' ongoing endeavour to record the complete Masses of Josquin des Prés. Using just nine singers gives an intimacy to these readings and ensures clear-cut words and sharply delineated vocal lines.
November 2018
The Tallis Scholars allow much light to filter through Josquin’s complex textures and they clearly delight in his beautifully spacious three-part setting of ‘Pleni sunt caeli et terra Gloria tua’. Their sound may have softened slightly with a new generation of singers but it suits Missa Gaudeamus particularly well. This disc is surely one of their best recent releases.
January 2019
The Tallis Scholars’ series of Josquin des Prés masses goes from strength to strength.
4th November 2018
The Tallis Scholars give shapely performances...in the mature Missa Gaudeamus, the composer plays dazzling canonical games with his chant model, to often stunningly beautiful effect.
4th November 2018
The Tallis Scholars still ride high among small vocal ensembles – lithe, pure-sounding and vigorous as ever in performance of Renaissance polyphony.
November 2018
The singing is technically assured and full of warmth; these performers know their stuff and want to share it with us
