Obrecht: Missa Caput; Salve Regina

Composer
Released

Though not widely remembered today outside of specialist circles, Jacob Obrecht was one of the most famous and important composers of sacred music in 15th-century Europe, and the recent resurgence in interest in his music (thanks to the early music movement) has brought some exquisite music back to light. This recording by the Oxford Camerata brings Obrecht’s Missa Caput together with two Salve Regina settings and the motet “Venit ad Petrum,” all sung in a beautifully restrained, straightforward style.
