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. Review No lover of Lassus should let the peaceful and lucid singing of Cinquecento slip. Its a good contribution to the lovely music of the period which should not be missed.- Classical NetNightafternight Playlist: New and Recent Releases of Interest --The Rest is Noise (Alex Ross)

Lassus from Cinquecento
Lassus is always good, and this recording is worth hearing. Cinquecento does a good job, although I miss the sound of a larger vocal ensemble. This one (to me) sounds a little "clinical," but is still very good.
