Cappella Amsterdam
Description:
The world's finest choir takes on the masterpiece of the great master Lassus! Capella Amsterdam, led by Daniel Reuss, has recorded the masterpiece "Seven Penitential Psalms" written by Orlandus Lassus in his mid-twenties, a master of the Renaissance as well as Palestrina. In contrast to Palestrina, who continued to compose masses according to the Roman Catholic canon and was considered a model of church music composition, Orlandus Lassus traveled throughout Europe, including Italy, from his youth, and even after he entered the service of the Duke of Bavaria at the court of Munich, he continued to incorporate music from many countries and to create a wide variety of works. Lassus continued to create a wide variety of works throughout his life. The "Seven Penitential Psalms" is considered one of Lassus's greatest works of his youth. Composed around 1559 by order of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria, the seven pieces are repentances for the seven deadly sins, and the texts are taken from the Psalms of David in the Old Testament.Albrecht V was so pleased with this work that he had the humanist scholar Zamuel Kwigheberg, who was in the service of the court, annotate the psalms, and the court painter Hans Meirich draw miniatures and produce a lavish four-volume manuscript. After Albrecht's death, the collection was only published in 1584. All seven pieces are essentially five-voice works, composed in the style of motetus using seven different church melodies. It was an ambitious work that dared to make use of even forbidding progressions and chords in order to express itself in accordance with the content of the text. The expressive power of this music strongly appeals to us, the modern listeners. Many of the earlier recordings of this collection were performed with instrumental music over vocal music in consideration of the situation at the Bavarian court, which had an excellent orchestra at the time, but Capella Amsterdam, led by Daniel Reuss, dared to choose the a cappella style with 4 sopranos, 2 altos, 5 tenors, and 4 basses. The group of Daniel Reuss and Capella Amsterdam responded to this masterpiece with excellent singing that brought to the fore the strong expressive power of the musicalization of the text.The singing is exceptionally convincing, brought about by the sense of unity created by the longstanding relationship of trust between Daniel Reuss, who has served as music director of Capella Amsterdam for more than 30 years and has won numerous international music awards with the company, and Capella Amsterdam. Capella Amsterdam's exquisite ensemble and high level of expressiveness, which perfectly express Reuss's intentions, are a true testament to the value of this masterpiece by Lassus. The booklet will include several illustrations from the very beautiful manuscript of this collection of songs, now in the possession of the Bavarian State Library. This is a wonderful recording which, despite his fame and importance in the history of music at the time, has not yet received a proper reappraisal in the present day. PENTATONE
