Today's programme (which I thoroughly enjoyed) certainly started the week off showing how versatile Lassus was. If anything the Missa Susanne was a bit staid and 'English' in the hands of Oxford Camerata, but my 'discovery' was the gorgeous villanelle Sto core mio from the Daedalus Ensemble, with a fantastic countertenor soloist. Who he?

I very much enjoyed Sto core mio too. There seems to be little information about the members on their English site.Originally posted by ardcarp View Post
What makes you think/do you know it was a countertenor (I'm not saying it definitely isn’t)?Comment

OK, I'll rephrase that bit....with a fantastic singer in the mezzo/alto register. Who he/she?What makes you think/do you know it was a countertenor (I'm not saying it definitely isn’t)?
Definitely countertenor on top of Penitential Psalms playing right now.....Comment

What is going on with playlist? Today's programme had a separate box to click, but on clicking it a message came up saying the site could not be found. C'mon CoTW. Your computer skills are even worse than mine. I'm emailing the programme, BTW.Comment

Pacis amans seems to be rather a lengthy motet. Or Donald M was particularly verbose today.Originally posted by ardcarp View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

Did today’s programme on iPlayer finish properly? It sounded as if it ran out of time.

Let us know if you hear from them. I didn’t.

Do we have access to your playlist or is it on subscription?

Going back to the singer of Monday’s programme (#18), it’s from this recording which is download only. I guess whoever was responsible for the playlist didn’t bother to download the details (I guess this is how it works?)
Despite all this mess, I am thoroughly enjoying the music. I have never associated Lassus with a song about drinking wine.Comment

They were announced by DM today (in the limited section I heard) as performing something, I think a Holy Week motet that I recognised. Can someone tell me the title?Originally posted by mercia View Post
There's nothing on today's page of the website...
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Friday's (it was a bit jumbled up) is:
Lassus:
Al gran Guglielmo nostro. Odhecaton, director Paolo Da Col.
Sanctus; Agnus Dei (Missa Entre vous filles). Oxford Camerata, director Jeremy Summerly.
Io son si stanco sotto. Huelgas Ensemble, director Paul Van Nevel.

Prolongati sunt dies mei; Deficiat in dolore vita mea (Cantiones sacrae). Collegium Vocale Gent, director Philippe Herreweghe.

I hope I've divided up the lines correctly.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment
