Prophetiae Sibyllarum: I have the Cantus Colln. It is very precise and quick (I'm given to understand), and the recording relatively dry. Other folks seem to find them cold, but I think this a typically fine effort from a wonderful group.The music itself is quite notey, more thrilling than atmospheric. Good stuff.

Instinctively I also eyed the Cantus Cölln recording. Then I read on Amzon that Bruno Giordano, whose opinion I value, changed his allegiances from that recording to the newer one by the ensemble Daedalus under Roberto Festa (Alpha). So I'm seriously considering that one - the fact that the Cantus Cölln is OOP also weighs in to it. :)

Good thing I didn't order it then, as I have this box, and didn't know. Strange how Lassus isn't mentioned on the front, despite having a complete disc to himself!

Happy to be of service!

Brand new from Hilliards, Gesualdo 5th book of Madrigals. I managed to get my grubby paws on few tracks from that and thought why not put up not-so-blind comparison for the hordes of madrigal lovers of this forum (all three of you). So here are the same two madrigals (in flac) by Hilliards, La Venexiana and Concerto Italiano. Feel free to share your thoughts with the rest of us, or not.

Gioite voi col canto
The Hilliard Ensemble
La Venexiana
Concerto Italiano

S'io non miro non moro
The Hilliard Ensemble
La Venexiana
Concerto Italiano

Enjoy.

How I would love to get references to what albums these tracks were originally on!

I'm just getting into it, but it's absolutely gorgeous! :) Lassus is IMO definitely one of the big ones in Early music.

I'm very happy with this recording - the combination Lassus & Herreweghe has worked for me splendedly so far! Do you have the same? :)

Q

I only have 6 individual recordings dedicated entirely to his works and expect to add a few new titles to my collection this year.  He is just one of the many early music composers in my ever growing early music collection ...

Finally got to tell Paul McNulty in person, how much I adore his instruments.
K.Bezuidenhout then proceeded to play the heck out of one of them.

US release date May 29

19 CDs--in essence, it's the complete (I think) box of the Capella Augustana recordings

ATM, Arkivmusic is offering a somewhat lower price than Amazon.

Amazon rarely has the best price for anything unless it offers some teaser price for some new release when 9 out of 10 buyers will get an order cancellation after weeks of waiting ...    ::)

Hyperion website offers Kyrie as free download, nice touch for sampling purposes.

That's good news - thanks for the alert.  And at mid-price, too.  The three I have (the three currently still in the catalogue) are wonderful, especially the Requiem and Missa Au travail suis.  I hope this means that the other missing ones are also scheduled for re-release.

They are all excellent.  IIRC, I only have one "volume" I do not have ...
