seriously, it's an excellent recording and performance, for which I have Paul to thank.

Alkan, Grand Sonate, Ronald Smith. Staggering.
I had nearly all of Ronald Smith's Alkan recordings on LP, but not the Grand Sonate. EMI put all of his Alkan recordings for them on two poorly annotated double sets, now deleted, which I have bought from Amazon sellers. I last heard Smith's performance of the Grand Sonate on an LP borrowed from the Music Library of Dublin City Libraries over 30 years ago. After all that waiting it doesn't disappoint!

Muffat – Missa in labore requies....
This is a mass with a difference with hugely inventive and quite stirring, lively music and it has great textures with tones ranging from theorbos to trumpets; the brass section has a prominent role in the work. Great stuff and quite stirring.

^^ ah, now you're talking Fergus!
have you heard this incredibly uplifting disk?
it's a real favourite of mine...
talking of real favourites... this one is quickly becoming one too...
the version of Dixit Dominus in particular, is out of this world; makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck...

Although I had to look it up, I don't agree that you are in fact a troglodyte....if you were surely you would then like the organ and organ music....let us just agree to call you a philistine (LOL)!!!Jared wrote:what can I say fergus?
