This record was made in Milan in the Sala dell'Ermellino whose walls return a rare acoustic in the memory of Leonardo da Vinci who worked a few steps away on his “Last Supper.” Here was his vineyard, a meeting place, certainly with Josquin Desprez, a Flemish composer admired by Luther, and came to Milan in the 15th century to accompany the marvellous singers of the cathedral.

A state-of-the-art system without any sound manipulation, neither equalization, nor reverberation, nor compression and expansion ... but natural sound with true timbre to best enhance the acoustics of the Sala dell'Ermellino. The mastering has been relalized by Giulio Cesare Ricci using the Signoricci's analaog and tube system. The result of this recording is fantastic. With this recording Giulio Cesare Ricci wanted to make the listener live a unique experience. It is as if the listener was sitting on an armchair positioned in the ideal point of the Sala dell'Ermellino. In this position the sound has a field effect and its depth, width and height are very appreciable. Great dynamics but also great precision It's an album not to be missed
