Richafort: Requiem [in memoriam Josquin Desprez]

Composer
Released

Jean Richafort may not be the most famous of the Franco-Flemish School composers who flourished in 15th and 16th century France and Belgium, nor was he terribly prolific. But his surviving music is some of the most sumptuously lovely of that period, and on this recording the funeral Mass he wrote in tribute to his teacher, the much more famous Josquin Desprez, is rendered beautifully by the Helgas-Ensemble under the direction of Paul van Nevel.
