Two fantastic examples of 17th century mass performed by specialists of the genre.
Ensemble Dumont specialise in performing and reconstructing the sacred music of the seventeenth century. Using original instruments, tunings, period Latin pronunciation and music specially edited from sources in London and Paris, the group tries to bring music to life by setting it in its historical and institutional context.
