The motet "Infelix Ego" shows Lassus at his best his music expressing perfectly the meaning of the text. For me his best compositions are based on the "doom and gloom" passages from the Scriptures non e better than the "Lagrime di San Pietro". The performance of the Oxford Camerata is outstanding, the recording of the highest quality. Oxford Camerata have been making some very good recordings for many years now, and this from 1993 is one of the best of theirs that I know. Lassus is a slightly underrated composer, I think. He is sort of the Haydn of his day: prolific and brilliant, while carrying a sense with a lot of today's audience that he was a little stolid and dull, whereas in fact both Haydn and Lassus wrote some of the best and most enjoyable music of their respective eras.
