From what is likely my final BRO order (RIP):

The first disc has Josquin Missa "L'homme arme sexti toni" + Machaut Messe Nostre Dame. Second disc is various Chansons and Estampies by notable composers.

Maybe it's all in my head, but I get a special thrill from hearing things like this, now-conventional pieces being played in their original non-traditional state. There's a certain ..rawness there that exists to me 

For them the music was new and exciting, based on their tradition but rebellious at the aame time, and they project this very well.

I grew up with Ciccolini's Satie and got them all, but since I heard Jean-Joel Barbier I find them too artificial.
