The opening track of this extraordinary recording will surprise anyone whose impression of 15th-century religious music is defined by dark monasteries and hooded monks. This “Gloria ad modum tubae” for two countertenors and two sackbuts (early relatives of the trombone)–and the following secular chanson, “Se la face ay pale”–has enough melodic spark and rhythmic oomph to yank even the most jaded 20th-century ears happily back 400 years and leave them anxiously waiting for more. The “more” that follows is a sensitive, careful, and uncommonly expressive performance of the Mass for which Guillaume Dufay is primarily known today. As sung by the all-male ensemble-countertenors, tenors, and baritones-with occasional instrumental accompaniment, the music seems to emerge from an ancient stillness to fill the revered space of some Gothic cathedral. In fact, this is a studio recording made in the early 1970s. Thankfully, and properly, it has remained in the catalog, for it is still the best version of this essential early music masterpiece. –David Vernier
