Lagrime di San Pietro ... con un mottetto nel fine |
Orlande de Lassus, Composer
Gabriel Crouch, Conductor Gallicantus Orlande de Lassus, Composer |
Author: Fabrice Fitch
They do this very well: when the final movement arrives, the listener truly grasps, in turn, that it is not with a madrigal but with a motet that the cycle ends. As with the Ensemble Vocal Européen under Philippe Herreweghe 20 years ago, details are tellingly lingered over, repetitions properly emphasised and the score’s illumination of an inner drama sensitively rendered. The odd glitch of intonation (very rare, in truth) is a negligible price to pay for such an involving experience.
