Choral: Choir of St. Johns College, Cambridge
Conductor:Andrew Nethsingha
20-22 July 2010
About
The Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge ventures onto the Chaconne label for the first time with this disc of music by Orlande de Lassus. The Choir is conducted by Andrew Nethsingha and is joined by His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts. Lassus was born in Mons which is in modern day Belgium around 1532 but spent most of his working life in Italy. He was a prolific and versatile composer and the most famous musician of his day. Charismatic and gregarious, he was also bipolar, a condition that caused him personal unhappiness, but which also accounted for some of the more original and startling passages in his music. The pieces on this recording represent only a small part of his enormous output:- nineteen of the 750-odd surviving motets, two of one hundred Magnificat settings, and three of his dozen purely instrumental works. It is a small sample, but it shows a composer whose formidable technique, kaleidoscopic ear for texture, and matchless word settings made him the darling of the musical High Renaissance in Western Europe.

"... strongly recommended."
Barry Brenesal - Fanfare - September/October 2011
"... a fine addition to the Lassus discography ..."
J F Weber - Fanfare - September/October 2011
“ Andrew Nethsingha has produced a recording that reflects both the depth of this choir and the many facets of Lassus’s style, from the almost athletic exuberance of his setting of the Christmas song ‘Resonet in laudibus’ to the introspective reflection of ‘Timor et tremor’… Another factor that makes this a good recording is the variety created between motets with and without instruments… Nethingha has taken a much more conservative approach that serves these works well and allows Lassus’s own creativity to be clearly heard and appreciated in all its sonic splendor.”
Brewer – American Record Guide – July/August 2011
"... With lively support from His majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts, the Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge takes full advantage of this treasury of vocal colour with exuberant, full-tones precision and impressive musicality. "
Fiona Maddocks - The Observer - 13 March 2011
Performance **** Recording *****
“…This disc’s programme, featuring largely premiere recordings , brilliantly captures the complexity of Lassus’s musical mind …this disc gives us a provocative glimpse into Lassus’s imagination.”
Berta Joncus - BBC Music Magazine, April 2011
