The album Masses for Five Voices Infelix Ego by Lassus Oxford Camerata, Jeremy Summerly is a must-have for classical music enthusiasts. The album features a collection of five masses by the renowned composer, Orlando Lassus, performed by the Oxford Camerata and conducted by Jeremy Summerly.

The album begins with the hauntingly beautiful "Missa sine nomine," which showcases the Camerata's impeccable harmonies and Summerly's masterful direction. The next piece, "Missa super Dixit Maria," is a stunning tribute to the Virgin Mary, with soaring vocals and intricate polyphony that will leave listeners in awe.

The third mass, "Missa Bell' Amfitrit' Altera," is a lively and energetic piece that demonstrates Lassus' versatility as a composer. The Camerata's performance is full of energy and enthusiasm, and Summerly's direction keeps the piece moving at a brisk pace.

The fourth mass, "Missa Ad Placitum," is a more contemplative piece that showcases the Camerata's ability to create a sense of intimacy and introspection. The final mass, "Missa Vinum Bonum," is a joyful and celebratory piece that will leave listeners feeling uplifted and inspired.
