Dufay put music to the consecration of the awesome cathedral of Florence, with that marvellous dome built by Brunelleschi that today, after more than five hundred years, still overwhelms us with its immense beauty. This work of art rendered by Cantica Symphonia, one of the best kept secrets of the performing elite of these beginnings of the 21st century, is a truly moving experience.

Dufay put music to the consecration of the awesome cathedral of Florence, with that marvellous dome built by Brunelleschi that today, after more than five hundred years, still overwhelms us with its immense beauty. This work of art rendered by Cantica Symphonia, one of the best kept secrets of the performing elite of these beginnings of the 21st century, is a truly moving experience.
On this recording, approached from the beginning as a great tribute to science, Dufay's motets sound as they never did before, with the wise incorporation of instruments where the score is claiming them, with that perfection engraved with humanity that only the greatest can transmit, with a music and an interpretation that are far beyond the fashions of the moment.
