| It has been claimed that more books have been written about Mozart than any other composer with the exception of Wagner. Doubtless this year’s 250th anniversary of his birth will have inspired many additions to Mozartian lore, begging pertinent questions about the need for further additions to what is already such a comprehensive bibliography. |

The Franco-Flemish master Roland de Lassus or Orlando di Lasso, composer of ‘The Seven Penitential Psalms’ and the ‘Tears of St. Peter’, died in Munich on 14th June 1594.
Few composers from the XVIth century are as well known as Lasso, who, since his complete works were published at the end of the XIXth century, has been so widely admired by XXth and XXIth century musicians. More than 400 years have gone by but his music is still alive among us.
We want to celebrate this at Goldberg and so we are launching a new special subscription offer related to this composer. Subscribe to Goldberg for one year during this “Roland de Lassus week” and you will also receive our issue Nº 22 (featuring Lasso) and surprise Lasso CD free |
