The only one of Lassus's four Passion settings to be printed in his lifetime, the St. Matthew successfully served its liturgical purpose while offering its singers and listeners music of high artistic merit. Alternating recitation-style chants (individual characters) with polyphonic sections (crowd), the work elegantly handles the dramatic action while creating a proper reverential mood, all of which is effectively captured on this, the only existing recording. --David Vernier
