Jean-Christophe Groffe - Josquin Desprez: Baisiez moy (CD)

Josquin was one of the greatest composers of his time, the author of sacred and secular music and works for court and city. The ensemble Thélème and Jean-Christophe Groffe offer a bold and original interpretation of some of Josquin's songs. Combining the language of the Renaissance with very different sounds - ondes Martenot, Fender Rhodes piano, Buchla synthesizer - they create a lively and astonishingly fertile dialogue, in keeping with the spirit of the composer. Five hundred years after his death, this album pays tribute to a groundbreaking composer, whose innovations inspire us to this day.
