"… A frisson of delight and exhilaration…" (Sächsische Zeitung) "(…)The music itself is, in a word, wonderful. The melodies, avoiding the normal churchly style of the time, and seemingly incorporating what sounds like a heavily-influenced folk idiom, are tuneful and highly dramatic. His use of the chorus, from large antiphonal responses to unequally balanced ensembles, to superb solo combinations, is thrilling and highly effective…" (Audiophile Audition)"

I begin with a WOW! What a choir!
Guillaume Bouzignac lived in the first half of the XVII century in France and was Chapel Master in many French Cathedrals. more...

So I start with this choir recording, all the music is a capella (which means voices only, no instrumental accompaniment). more...

Höchstnote 10 für künstlerische Qualität, Klangqualität und Gesamteindruck
Über den Schütz-Zeitgenossen Guillaume Bouzignac (1587–ca. 1643) wissen wir nicht besonders viel. more... SA-CD.net (10/06/2007):
When I first read about Tacet′s "Real Surround" technique, with separate parts of the chorus dedicated to individual loudspeakers, even I (a very liberal thinker with regard to deploying surround channels) was dubious.
However, the results in this case are simply gorgeous.
The "Real Surround" arrangement of vocal forces changes track by track, and given the substantial reverbertion (and perhaps the mixing) one always hears an ensemble sound.
The music of Bouzignac and the performance on this SACD is a revelation.
Wayne Erfling. more... SA-CD.net (10/03/2007):
As I suspect with most listeners, the name Guillaume Bouzignac is new to me. These are some of his motets (there are at least 5 more not included here but the notes are not clear on this point) and there are Chansons and Masses that also deserve a recording or two if the measure of this music is anything to go by. more...

Unknown until now, and well worth the wait
This sumptuously recorded SACD features the music of French composer Guillaume Bouzignac (c. 1587- post 1643), born amidst the southern provinces, and fated to avoid the more fame-producing cities like Paris and others that promoted the French court. more... Sächsische Zeitung (06/30/2007):
