The complete collection of his masses gives listeners a correct understanding of the historical reassessment of the Bologna music school (as compared to the celevrated Roman or Venetian schools). The "Messa Bolognese" by Cortellini will in fact, be an important link between the late Renaissance and the Baroque. The edition of this album was made possible thanks to the participation of Bolognese choirs and other highly qualified Italian choirs that completed this huge work with great variety of organic sound.
