1: Music's Michelangelo Lassus's virtuosic and exuberant art is a striking contrast to the classicism of Palestrina, who died in the same year. Today, Hugh Keyte presents some of the many aspects of Lassus's music: sacred and secular, vocal and instrumental, Petrarchian triumph and polyglot bawdry. With the Tallis Scholars, the BBC
Singers, the King's Singers, the Renaissance Band of the New York Pro Musica and Swingle II.
