EXUBERANT REQUIEM MASSES FROM THE ANTWERP OF RUBENS

cantoLX, B’Rock Orchesta and conductor Frank Agsteribbe present Antwerp Requiem c. 1650, an album showcasing the exceptional wealth of musical life in Antwerp in the age of Rubens. Philippus van Steelant’s recently-rediscovered Requiem settings are unique in their exuberant splendour, tied to a funerary culture that embraced the glory of life.

B’Rock Orchestra is one of today’s most forward- thinking period orchestras with a desire for encounter and exchange. The ensemble returns to Pentatone after having released Schubert’s complete symphonies with conductor René Jacobs between 2018 and 2022. cantoLX approaches vocal music with stylistic excellence and vocal purity. Their artistic leader Frank Agsteribbe was one of B’Rock’s founders, and brings the two ensembles together for this recording. cantoLX and Agsteribbe both make their Pentatone debut.

Reviews

May/June 2023

The B’Rock Orchestra, consisting of two choirs, one of strings and the other of the cornett-trombone group, is welded together by no fewer than four bassoons, all proving the rich and all-encompassing instrumental sound. The chorus CantoLX has the perfect mix of voices for this style of music, and the result is a blend that will envelope everyone in a sound sphere...one wonderful disc.

November 2022

For sheer gorgeousness, this recording is hard to fault: the two ensembles combine very effectively, and they make the most of Steelant’s undoubted dramatic touches.
