This album of world premiere recordings of 17th century masses showcases the Namur Chamber Choir and its artistic director, Argentinian conductor Leonardo García Alarcón. The choir champions the musical heritage of its native region while at the same time tackling great works of the choral repertoire. These Requiem Masses by Capuana and Rubino are apparently the only two settings of the Requiem composed in Sicily during the Baroque period. Capuana’s work is imbued with the intense emotion of the madrigal school while the Rubino is a true glorification of Renaissance polyphony.

“Captivating, quality stuff…Chœur de Chambre de Namur, backed by a terrific continuo group, are definitely enjoying themselves, so why shouldn’t we?” –Choir & Organ, May 2015

“colourful, dramatic, touching and full of contrast. The choir sings sturdily, with ample solo talent for Rubino’s slightly more adventurous work. Leonardo Garcia Alarcon paces both performances intelligently.” –Sunday Times, 22nd February 2015

“Capuano tends towards the style of the dramatic madrigal and Rubino makes greater use of polyphony, imitation and occasionally charming soprano solo passages…Neither mass is in the top rank, but the stylish Namur singers make a convincing case for their revival.” –The Observer, 8th February 2015
