Historical novelists, take note! The life of Italian-English composer Alfonso Ferrabosco (1543-1588) would make a terrific tale with its mix of music and political intrigue. This is one of a series of discs by Paul van Nevel and his Huelgas Ensemble exploring forgotten composers of the Renaissance. One wonders, however, why van Nevel did not choose to draw a stronger distinction in sound between the sacred pieces on one hand and the madrigal-type works on the other; they were intended for different situations and would not have sounded as similar as they do on this album. Despite this issue, the CD makes Renaissance music come alive.

She continued studies with Marius van Altena, Harry van der Kamp and Sigiswald Kuijken. Noskaiová has worked with several ensembles in the field of historically informed performance, especially regularly with Kuijken's La Petite Bande. She has recorded with them Bach cantatas for a complete liturgical year, including the early Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, BWV 12, written in Weimar in 1714, recorded in 2009 together with Gerlinde Sämann, Christoph Genz and Jan van der Crabben. She appeared in a concert of Bach cantatas at the Rheingau Musik Festival in the Eibingen Abbey in 2005. "Alfonso Ferrabosco: Huelgas-Ensemble, Paul Van Nevel - Psaume 103, Motets & Madrigaux".

Founded and directed by Paul Van Nevel, the Huelgas-Ensemble has emerged as one of Europe's premiere vocal ensembles dedicated to the performance of music from the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

She has collaborated with the Huelgas Ensemble in recordings such as Alfonso Ferrabosco's Psalm 103, motets and madrigals. She has regularly collaborated with the Slovak Radio and produced recordings for Slovart, Dynamic, and Matou. She has appeared at international festivals such as the Days of Early Music in Bratislava, the Festival of Ambronay, and the Festival Oude Muziek in Utrecht  .

Paul Van Nevel’s Huelgas Ensemble is a perfect advocate for these works–and for this composer–delivering each piece with fine-tuned vocalism and articulate expression, embodied in warm, clear, well-balanced sound in a comfortably resonant acoustic. Ferrabosco wrote dozens of motets, Lamentations, and madrigals, most of them still waiting their introduction to modern listeners. Perhaps this release will urge others to join in the re-discovery of a composer truly worthy of the effort.
