CD info

Perhaps Jacobus de Kerle (1531/32-1591), contemporary and peer of Orlande de Lassus, Clemens non Papa and Philippe de Monte, needed a tireless pioneer of the calibre of Paul Van Nevel to rediscover him for the 21st century. This master of polyphony, who was active in Flanders, Italy and Germany before finally settling in Prague, left works of timeless beauty - as this CD will prove.
