BBC Proms - 2008 - Prom 8: Obrecht, Josquin Desprez

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The Tallis Scholars, directed by Peter Phillips, perform mass settings by two masters of the Renaissance. Both settings are based on the melody of the chanson Malheur me bat (Misfortune has struck me), whose original text is lost and which is performed here to a specially commissioned version by French poet Jacques Darras.
