Review by Connie Dudziak

The album Membra Jesu Nostri by Buxtehude Ricercar Consort Philippe Pierlot, Maria Keohane, Hanna Bayodi, Carlos Mena, Jeffrey Thompson, and Matthias Vieweg is a stunning collection of sacred music that is sure to captivate listeners. The album features seven cantatas that each focus on a different part of the body of Christ, from his feet to his head.

The performances on this album are outstanding, with each member of the ensemble bringing their own unique vocal style to the table. Maria Keohane's soprano voice is particularly noteworthy, with its clear and bright tone that soars above the rest of the ensemble. Carlos Mena's countertenor voice is also a standout, adding an ethereal quality to the music.

The instrumental accompaniment is equally impressive, with the ensemble's use of period instruments adding an authentic and intimate feel to the music. The musicianship is top-notch throughout, with each player demonstrating a deep understanding of the music and its historical context.

Summary by Connie Dudziak

Membra Jesu Nostri is a beautiful and moving album that showcases the talents of some of the finest performers in the field of early music. Whether you are a fan of sacred music or simply appreciate beautiful vocal and instrumental performances, this album is sure to delight. Highly recommended.
