LASSUS: MISSA VINUM BONUM - EX CATHEDRA

Orlande de Lassus (1532-1594)
Missa Vinum Bonum ‘Good Wine Mass’ & service

Ex Cathedra
His Majestys Sagbutts
& Cornetts
Jeffrey Skidmore

‘it is fascinating to observe the skill with which Lassus reworks his models (for parody masses), chosen most commonly from among Italian madrigals, French chansons and Latin motets…Ex Cathedra offer a clear alternative to King’s. Their account of the motet Vinum bonum itself is more involving, and for the Mass theirs is the more dynamic reading… Ex Cathedra present a contrasting series of motets for three to eight voices, and the wind ensemble round out the disc with 3 bicinia, two-part pieces excerpted from his vocal music’(Gramophone)
