Nicolas Gombert was a musical genius whose emotional complexity allowed him to write music unlike that of any other Renaissance composer. A member of the generation between Josquin and Palestrina, he took the polyphonic style to its highest state of perfection. This recording brings together many of his best-known works, including the first of his eight Magnificats, the eight-voiced Credo, and Tulerunt Dominum, some of the most memorable music of the period.
