The Peñalosa Ensemble, founded in 1996, is a vocal quartet of four top singers who are absolute specialists for early music: Susan Eitrich, Sebastian Mory, Jörg Deutschewitz and Pierre Funck. The ensemble’s inimitable sound is stamped equally by individuality and homogeneity, its music-making by expressivity and colorfulness. This recording presents Advent and Christmas motets by Hans Leo Hassler [1564-1612]. His music is characterized on the one hand by contrapuntal subtlety and, on the other hand, by the greatest charm and delicacy and is, thus, tailor-made for Christmas.
