With this disc, Giuseppe Maletto and Cantica Symphonia
complete their Dufay trilogy on Glossa: two volumes of motets
and one of chansons (Tempio dell Onore e delle Vertu, GCD
P31903). These musicians (singers and instrumentalists), many
of them members of the various configurations of La Venexiana,
represent the best possible interpreters today for
communicating this timeless and moving music: motets indelibly
linked to the power struggles that, in the first half of the
fifteenth century, convulsed the politics of European powers
and of the Roman Catholic Church - with the Churchs great
Councils, attended by Guillaume Dufay, as the settings for
glorious and evocative compositions. Together with Quadrivium
(GCD P31901), this new release sees Cantica Symphonia
traversing all the currently attributed motets by Dufay works
written to set the seal on historic occasions as well as those
with liturgical texts. The accompanying essay admirably
captures the pervasive fifteenth century currents of Humanism
and religious splendour.
