Comments:
Information from CD. The present program opens with a welcome rendition of Ockeghem's Missa Fors seulement, a late 5-part work which survives only as a 3-movement torso. Also included are the original chanson, and two contemporary reworkings of it (Ockeghem did another of his own). Of course, the Requiem is well-known... here they have not tried to force it into any sort of internal consistency.
