About

The Cantiones Sacrae are Lassus’ swansong, crowning his life's work. In them Roland de Lassus deploys the essence of his art, which distinguishes him from his contemporary Palestrina and complex polyphony is employed in order to espouse the nuances of the text as closely as possible. In other words, here we have the ideal balance between 'head' and 'heart', a recurrent feature of most of the greatest masterpieces. Philippe Herreweghe has long been considered one of the foremost interpreters of the music of Lassus. Here he leads his hand-picked choral ensemble, Concerto Vocale, in definitive readings of these seminal works of the Renaissance choral repertoire.

Reviews

December 2008

Philippe Herreweghe… employ a choir of two or three voices to a part, with good singers, and has opted for a warm resonant acoustic. In 'Respicit Dominus'… there are constant inflections of dynamics, pace and mood to underpin the changes from chordal recitation to word painting in ('folly leads us astray').
