Adriano 1

Composer
Released

The rather oddly-named Dionysos Now! ensemble has embarked on a multi-album project dedicated to the music of Adrian Willaert, one of the less famous composers of the Franco-Flemish School that flourished in northern France and Belgium in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. On the first installment, they perform Willaert’s Missa Mittit ad Virginem, along with the motet on which it’s based and several other sacred motets by the same composer. The ensemble’s sound is beautiful and they are recorded in a richly reverberant acoustic.
