Notes and References

1. Le 1/09/2014 Cinquecento: Jean Guyot de Chatelet & Philippe Schoendorff By: Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht Supple, evenly produced voices, perfect intonation and diction, and musical intelligence: ensemble Cinquecento is at the forefront of the performance of Renaissance polyphony, a reputation they have acquired in a brief period of time. Today they sing music by two composers from Liège: Philippe Schoendorff, a student of De Monte, and Jean Guyot de Châtelet, both of whom served at the Viennese court
2. Early Music Review -Missa Ultimi miei sospiri'An impassioned and beautiful performance by Cinquecento … The exceptional blend of voices and unified approach to phrasing augur well for their future as great interpreters of Renaissance music … A marvellous affinity for Monte … They have no need of a conductor to achieve lovely long phrases full of warmth and life … The individual voices are all lovely, and the countertenors float above the texture without dominating it'
