About

The Cremonese composer Marc’Antonio Ingegneri (c. 1535/36–92) is chiefly remembered as the teacher of Claudio Monteverdi while, for well-nigh 500 years, his own achievements were left to sit in the shadows. This second in a series of pioneering recordings from the Choir of Girton College, Cambridge, reveals Ingegneri to have been one of the masters of his age, writing music of breathtaking richness and beauty: the works heard here combine learned, intricate counterpoint with the kind of sheer sonic thrill that brings a shiver of physical excitement. It is, of course, religious music, but it is also extraordinarily passionate, to a degree not previously heard, nor for centuries to come, until the rise of the great Romantic choral works.

“This is Wilson’s fourth CD for Toccata […], one every year. In many respects, this is the best one yet. Highly recommended.” – Fanfare, September 2020 (Vol.1: Missa Laudate pueri Dominum TOCC0556)

“The music-making flows seamlessly between gentle compassion and fulsome sonorities in the eight-voice Missa Laudate pueri Dominum (based on a motet by Palestrina) and four triple-choir motets…polyphonic lines are intelligently delineated, textures are perfectly focused and there is emotional integrity.” – Gramophone, November 2020 (TOCC0556)

“It struck me immediately that its sound world is rather like Monteverdi’s choral music but with all of the bolder edges and musical risks which Monteverdi took smoothed over into something more homogenous...The most striking pieces for me are two of the motets, Emendemus in melius and Ecce venit desideratus...The Choir of Girton College, Cambridge, perform admirably under their leader Gareth Wilson.” – MusicWeb International, July 2020 (TOCC0556)
