di Lasso: Lagrime di San Pietro / Ockeghem: Missa pro defuntis

by The Hilliard Ensemble / The Consort of Musicke

Dedicated to the exploration and reinterpretation of Early, pre-Baroque music, Great Britain's Consort of Musicke and Hilliard Ensemble are two highly respected orchestras. They team up here to perform vibrant renditions of Di Lasso's "La Lagrime di San Pietro" and Ockeghem's "Missa pro defunctis." Though the music and words are centuries old, these fine, passionate performers manage to revivify it, instilling a modern and timeless spirit into compositions forgotten by most. Anthony Rooley, the founder of the Consort of Musicke, conducts.
