Missa super Dixit Joseph & motets

"Top male-voice ensemble Cinquecento ... has specialised in early vocal music ... The Franco-Flemish composer Orlande de Lassus (1530/32-94) ranks with Palestrina and Victoria as one of the greats of the period ... His music has a stern, expressive power, with sensitive word-setting ... Cinquecento, pure-toned but never over-polished, are willing to take risks, which gives this ethereal music energy and life".

"Vurdering: BBC music choral song choice" - "With just one voice to a part, polyphonic lines are sharply etched and perfectly weighed throughout ... As an all-male ensemble, their sound is robust and plangent ... Some listeners may miss the more opulent sound of a full choir, but nonetheless the group has a surprising resonance, subtly enhanced by the glowing acoustic of kloster Pernegg, Austria, and Hyperion's lustrous recording".
