If you like ancient music, you probably heard of Philippe Herreweghe and Collegium Vocale Gent. He recorded one of the most oustanding collection of Bach's cantatas. Very inspired by polyphonic music, he works on vocal music with great care, able to make a choir sing so that you can hear every voice. His tastes favor pure and mineral voices, without vibrato, and above all musical rhetoric, a deep relation between text and music.
For some years now, he chose fantastic and not very well known vocal masterpieces and interpreted them with his own choir in a smaller and intimate formation (10 singers). As one of his choices, he picked up this dark mass from the Spanish Renaissance.
Be ready for the experience !

Herreweghe´s concerts in Brazil with the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées were outstanding. Highly recommended to try anything he does.
Thanks Eric, I guess you're right. I heard the Fantastique with him a few years ago, that was pure pleasure of sound.
