This is fantastic! But I have to ask: why all the ficta? I've never heard a version performed with so many sharps! That's not to say it's a bad thing - it creates a compelling sound. Which edition did you use? Or did you work from your own transcription?

@epn10 hey, thanks for your comment! we have worked from the fac simile of the manuscript, together with an excellent musicologist, called Gérard Geay, who has worked on the ficat of this masterpiece since 20 years... And he has finally "allowed" us to burn on the cd one of his versions :) he has used the rules of contrapunct (of course...) and watched all the places that sound as cadence, and even if the voice cross, put the sharps for one voice and the other finish the candence... enjoy!!
