Comments:
Information from owned book / CD.
This 691 pp. book is probably one of the most significant ever published about the composer. It contains 18 articles with two appendices written by Peter Urquhart: a tentative list of works and a discography of CD releases. Adding to this a "free CD", not really so free taking into consideration the price (105 £, 199.98 USD, 251 CDN, 179,36 Euro), it will probably be your reference book on Josquin for many years.
