About

The deeply expressive music of Nicholas Ludford (c. 1485-1557) has been re-discovered only relatively recently. Few composers of his stature - comparable to that of John Taverner - have been so comprehensively and so unjustly ignored for nearly five centuries.

Recorded in the glorious acoustic of Saint-Martin de Hoff, Sarrebourg - a perfect environment for this extraordinary music – this CD features the Missa Benedicta et venerabilis, one of Ludford’s most accomplished festal Masses, with its plainsong propers and two of his extended votive antiphons: Domine Jesu Christe and Ave cuius conceptio.

Under the leadership of Edward Higginbottom, the Choir of New College, Oxford, have gained a worldwide reputation and are known particularly for their stylish performances of Renaissance and Baroque music.

“From the point of view of repertoire this is a major issue… New College’s trebles show how much young singers can achieve in the way of cohesiveness, coherence and sheer persuasiveness of melodic shape.” - Gramophone

“Scrupulous scholarship, masterful conducting and committed singing merge to restore the legacy of one of England's most inventive 16th-century composers.” - BBC Music Magazine
