While most of the secular works by the great Obrecht are lost or fragmentary, the Camerata Trajectina has put together a massive project to reconstruct these once immensely popular pieces. They were joined by the woodwind ensemble La Caccia and recorder group Brisk, with help from poet Gerrit Komrij, who helped to complete missing texts. The recording is on the Globe label and is CD #GLO 6059. For more information, you may contact them at:
