The Cremonese composer Marc’Antonio Ingegneri (c. 1535/36–92) is chiefly remembered as the teacher of Claudio Monteverdi while, for well-nigh 500 years, his own achievements were left to sit in the shadows. This fourth in a series of pioneering recordings from the Choir of Girton College, Cambridge, presents a sequence of music for Holy Week and Easter, confirming Ingegneri to have been one of the masters of his age. The striking range of moods heard here will confound conventional expectations of Renaissance polyphony: Ingegneri’s emotional palette extends from tender intimacy in some of these motets to dancing, celebratory jubilation in the Mass setting – all of it music of breathtaking richness and beauty.

1 review for Marc’Antonio Ingegneri: Volume Four – Missa Gustate et videte; Motets for Holy Week and Easter

  1. :

    ‘[These albums] show that [Ingegneri] was more than just the teacher of Monteverdi – pretty much the only feature of his career that guaranteed him a place in music history books. […]

    Like the three previous discs, this recording is another impressive testimony of Ingegneri’s skills as a composer. Within the idiom of the time, the stile antico, he is able to communicate the message of each piece by making use of elements, such as scoring, harmony and musical figures. […] The journey from Passion to Resurrection and then the remembrance of the Passion at Corpus Christi is musically illustrated in a convincing manner.

    Ingegneri’s music is served very well by both the choir and the instrumental ensemble. […] The balance between voices and instruments is entirely satisfying.

    I don’t know if with this disc the involvement of the choir and its director with Ingegneri comes to an end. I hope not: I would like to hear more. And as I wrote in my review of the previous two volumes: the madrigals should be given some attention as well.’

    —Johan van Veen, musica Dei donum
