Music reviews of Lasso: Prophetić SibyllarumMusic Review: Where's the love?
I'm quite surprised that no reviews have yet been posted here. This is a marvelous recording. As always, De Labyrintho performs with great delicacy and subtlety. The mix of voices is heavenly, and the recording engineers have managed to preserve this delicateness and clarity. I am quite amazed with Lasso's composition of Prophetiae Sibyllarum; he has beautifully combined the love and appreciation that the Renaissance had discovered for the pagan ideals of Greek beauty with the true devotion maintained by Christians for their Lord. The former is conveyed by the flowing chromaticism that continually inspires the lines of the (non-liturgical) music, while the latter is communicated by the text. The premise is that the Sibyls (women prophets or seers) of ancient Greece prophesize of the birth of Jesus, in thirteen parts. In addition there is a moving Magnificat "Praeter rerum seriem," and a setting of Proper of the Mass (Officium natalis Christi) and the reading ("In principium erat Verbum," the prologue to St. John's Gospel) that is celebrated on Christmas morning. The contrast between the non-liturgical "Prophetiae Sibyllarum" and the subsequent pieces is both interesting and refreshing. De Labyrintho is one of the finest groups currently performing sacred music. Highly recommended.
