Lassus: Prophetiae Sibyllarum, Missa Amor
Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDA67887 Format: CD The Brabant Ensemble; Stephen Rice, conductorOrlande de Lassus (1530/32-1594) Orlande de Lassus was an undisputed master of all the vocal genres of the late Renaissance, from German Lied to Latin Mass. He was extraordinarily prolific, and this recording features the glorious polyphony of the Missa Amor ecco colei and Prophetiae Sibyllarum, one of his most celebrated works. With the latter's extreme chromaticism and constant modulation, Lassus stretched the compositional boundaries of the time to produce one of the most important and advanced works to come from the sixteenth century.
