Works

Lasso
Vignon vignon vignette; Fraw ich bin euch von hertzen Hold; Ich weiss nur ein Meidlein; Bicinia; Ich weiss ein hubsches Frawelein; Einmal ging ich spatzieren; Appariran per me le stell’in cielo; Poi che’l mio largo pianto; Ich hab ein Mann; La cortesia voi donne predicate; Madonna mia pieta; Io ti vorria contar; Es jagt ein Jeger vor dem Holtz; Las je n’iray plus; Nun gruss dich Gott; Un jour l’amant et l’amye; O vin en vigne; Quand mon mary vient; Un jour vis un foulon; Der Wein der schmeckt mir also; Baur was tregst im Sacke?; Matona mia cara

About

This is a re-release of a recording made in 1993. Wolfgang Katschner, artistic director of the ensemble, and Hans-Werner Apel performed in the recording, and the young Hille Perl – nowadays a renowned viola player – was a also a member of the Lautten Compagney and took part in the recording.

The CD contains German Lieder and instrumental pieces by Orlando di Lasso, originally from Mons in Flanders, who became Bavarian court composer. It was Lasso’s aim to combine the "mellifluous Italianity" with the "stalwart Germanity" and thus elevate the German Lied to a "daintier and nobler state".

The vocal solists on this CD are Mona Spägele, Bernhard Landauer, Wilfried Jochens and Thomas Herberich, but many of the works are performed by the Lautten Compagney as mere instrumental pieces in order to reflect the historical practice of the time.
