Sean, I was going to ask something similar, although given Fergus' flawless track record in library building, I was going to phrase it slightly more delicately...Seán wrote:What's that?fergus wrote:
are these Oratorios short Fergus, given there are two on the disk(s)? When were they written?
Re: Recent Purchases
LOL!!!
Yes Jared, these are two short Oratorios that are on one CD. Carissimi is an early composer (1605-1674) of whom I know little but would like to know more; hence the purchase!

^^ that is interesting indeed... I'm guessing he was influenced by the likes of Monteverdi? This must have been right at the birth of the oratorio as a musical form, and should at any rate prove to be an interesting document...

Re: Recent Purchases
Over the past month or so, I have been investing in a stock of Tallis Scholars CDs, which I will be playing regularly over the coming weeks. Rather than internittantly clogging up the other thread with their album covers, I thought I'd show you what I have purchased, and will be enjoying. I have only recently come to experience their performances which I really enjoy and will no doubt be building a small library of their repertoire over the coming years, as Renaissance music is something I will certainly wish to hear more of, in the future..
Re: Recent Purchases
Well done Jared....some really lovely stuff there and you are in great hands with the Tallis Scholars!
