Again, Josquin is given center stage. Liner notes in the other releases refer to him often. Here the performance is often quite stately... maybe overly "big" in some of the chansons, but definitely an interpretation to be regarded.

A more recent repackaging, combined with others in this series to concentrate on chansons:

Vous ou la mort

Canciones flamencas de amor cortés en el siglo XV
Currende Consort / Capella Sancti Michaelis / Concerto Palatino - Erik van Nevel
Cantus 9607
