RE-MASTERED

Happy Birthday! In 2009, the Lautten Compagney celebrates its 25th birthday. And this is the right moment to re-release this recording of 1993. Wolfgang Katschner, artistic director of the ensemble, and Hans-Werner Apel already performed during the recording. But also, the young Hille Perl - nowadays a renowned viola player - was a member of the Lautten Compagneyand took part in the recording. The CD contains German Lieder and instrumental pieces by Orlando di Lasso, original from Mons in Flanders, who became Bavarian court composer. It was Lasso's aim to combine the "mellifluous Italianity" to 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. Many of the works are though performed by the Lautten Compagney as mere instrumental pieces in order to reflect the historical practice of the time.
