Mikołaj Zieleński stands among Poland's greatest Renaissance composers, though his sacred choral works remain far less known than they deserve. This 2014 recording features Etienne Meyer conducting the Chœur Des Fiori Musicali through Zieleński's motets and liturgical pieces with period-informed sensitivity. What immediately strikes you is the crystalline clarity—each voice line audible within the harmonic texture, creating a luminous polyphonic landscape. The sound is meditative and spiritual without being austere, with warm Renaissance sensibilities throughout. Meyer's interpretation emphasizes lyrical beauty over scholarly severity. If you already treasure Palestrina or are exploring beyond the usual Renaissance canon, this offers a genuine discovery—sacred choral music of real sophistication from Polish court tradition. Rarely available and superbly recorded.
