Hilliard Ensemble in Review

I always enjoy reading reviews about famous choral groups. Among other pleasures, I discover literature that I should consider. Here's one of the Hilliard Ensemble from a blog called Mambo Taxi with an excerpt:

We drove into Toronto for Soundstreams' "An Unfinished Life", a concert with Renaissance music by the Hillard Ensemble, and a world premiere of a piece about a young Dutch woman whose diaries were recovered after she died in Aucshwitz.

The choral music was wonderful- two pieces by Palestrina, two by Solomon Rossi (a 16th century Rabbi), and one by Orlande de Lassus, a 16th century Dutchman. One each of the Palestrina and Rossi were based on Psalm 136, "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion." I love that text, and not just because Boney M sings it also. Though, um, that's part of it.
