Description
Jacob Obrecht’s Missa Maria zart is recognised as one of the most ambitious artistic creations of its time—some have claimed that it defies description. Even by Obrecht’s standards, this Mass is unusually complex, inventive and powerful, while at the same time it is based on a sweet and simple popular melody. The result is a deeply moving listening experience. Cappella Pratensis’ interpretation is the fruit of its lengthy study of the work, both in collaboration with musicologists and through a series of concerts in Europe and North America.
