To All Things a Season. Chansons, Madrigals and Lieder by Lassus

Roland de Lassus, whom all the European courts and chapels fought over, was the first composer with such an international stature. This cosmopolitanism is visible through his huge catalogue, as he tried his hand at all genres and styles, from the Italian madrigals and villanelle to the French chanson. In this recording the King’s Singers invite us to a trip through mid-16th-century secular tradition, reinvented by the greatest musical figure of his generation.
