Anyway, if you like di Lassus, you should try de Victoria -- especially his tenebrae responsories. He and di Lassus were roughly contemporaries, but Victoria's work is more chromatic and more expressive. I don't think any of his stuff is on the 102 CD, though.
Yeah, H was espousing Victoria's virtues in class. He played us a few minutes of something by him (I have no idea what). I liked it better than the Palestrina (although there's certainly nothing wrong with Palestrina), but not quite as much as the di Lassus. I admit it, I'm a sucker for powerful soprano lines. Might look up some more Victoria, though, if Amazon has something for cheap.
