Paul Hillier - Ockeghem: Requiem [CD]

The 500 years that separate Renaissance master Johannes Ockeghem (c. 1410-97) and Danish composer Bent Serensen (b. 1958) seem to disappear in this extraordinary Requiem which is a totality integrated both dramatically and musically; a work that unites the stylistic contrasts in a mode of expression that seems at once timeless and entirely present. The project has been initiated by conductor Paul Hillier and interpreted by his GRAMMY-winning ensemble Ars Nova Copenhagen. "Everything Paul Hillier touches turns into choral gold" - New York Times.
