Description
Ludwig Daser's life and work encompassed both Catholic and Lutheran courts, at Munich and Stuttgart respectively.
Cinquecento's programme - which, besides the substantial Missa Pater noster, includes a selection of Latin motets and German chorale settings- illustrates
a variety of styles and genres from both, offering a welcome introduction to this lesser-known master from the sixteenth century.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE – VOCAL
"The works for double choir have a compelling sonority, especially when delivered by soloists of this quality, but those for just four or five voices are affecting and full of distinctive touches, more personal in affect that the grandeur and solemnity of the Mass. […] There is much to praise in these poised, polished performances, […] this seems to be to be Cinquecento's finest disc" – Gramophone
"This album […] encourages us to know [Daser] better with affectionately compelling, convincing and classy performances by the male consort Cincquecento" – Choir & Organ, Early Music Round Up
"An album of Ludwig Daser's music won this year's Early Award, and here's a brilliant way to continue the journey of discovery into the composer's work, with Cinquecento on excellent form." – Gramophone Recordings of the Year / Editor's Choice November 2023
