BUY IT NOW!, Aug 6 2007
By J. Likeness - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ockeghem Collection (Audio CD)
The word 'bargin' is bandied about to the point of becoming meaningless however, in the present case this 5 CD set would be a 'bargain' at twice the price. There are over six hours of music here but that's just quantity--a dubious basis for value--it is the quality of performances of Edward Wickham and the Clerks' Group that make this set so compeling. The Collection is made up of most of the Ockeghem the Clerks' have recorded--don't fret doubling up on some of the masses if you've already started collecting the single albums--those are worth getting for the fill-ups by Ockeghem's conteporaries. At this price it's worth it.

Buy It Now and Give one to Your Best Friend!, Dec 20 2008

The five CDs in this collection represent the summit of polyphonic consort singing, and the greatest works of the greatest composer who ever wrote!
(How's that for hyperbole?)
I've reviewed several of these CDs separately, so I won't repeat myself.
Of the six separate Ockeghem CDs, the one NOT included here is: Missa Caput, Missa Ma Maistresse, 3 Motets. I have no idea why since it's one of their best.

Glorious performance, superbly recorded. And at a bargain price when I bought it. Highest possible recommendation.
