Josquin des Prés
Fourteenth in a series of 28 programmes devised and introduced by Basil Lam
At its mid-point, the series reaches the composer whom contemporary writers compared to Virgil and Michelangelo. Even a small anthology, illustrating both his early and later styles, is sufficient to show why a great 19th-century historian regarded Josquin as the supreme Renaissance master.
