Product Description

For seven years now, the six sublime singers of Cinquecento have been championing the lesser-known masters of the Austrian court. On this release, they turn to one of the greats: Lassus. The Missa super Dixit Joseph is based on one of Lassus's own motets and combines the composer's characteristic flair for vibrant text-setting with the nascent poly choral style of which he would become an early master. Glorious performances of the Mass and a diverse range of motets comprise a most satisfying album which culminates with the famous Timor et tremor.
