Music reviews of Orlando de Lassus: Penitential Psalms
Music Review: Beautiful music and performance.
Rating: 4 Stars
Orlando de Lassus is one of THE premier renaissance composers if you ask me. His vocal music never fails to amaze with its skillfully woven polyphony and great harmonic rhythm.
This work consists of several extended pieces. They are among the best of de Lassus' works that I've heard. The recording is first rate. Unfortunately, this price is a little high. Ok, it is ridiculous. I recently purchased a great performance of Hindemith's Kammermusik on EMI for less than $10. Why Harmonia Mundi charges so much is beyond me. I admit, their recordings are excellent and I love their sister (brother?) labels. However, in today's economy one should not expect to pay $25 per cd after taxes.
In any case, if you can get your hands on Lagrime di San Pietro (de Lassus' swan song), then you absolutely MUST do it. That work is a more satisfying work than even this one.
I give the work 5 stars, but if I could rate the pricing separately, I would give the price 1 star. Combined I'll give a 4-star rating.
