Fergus, do you own this disk?fergus wrote:
Cavalli was most likely a pupil of Monteverdi and certainly replaced him at San Marco after Monteverdi’s death. There are, therefore, loud echoes of Monteverdi’s style as well as the Gabriellis but Cavalli does have a voice of his own. This is a very nice CD all round.
although it is a recreation of Monteverdi's final Vespers (1643), it also contains the wonderful Psalm: Lauda Jerusalem (for 2 choirs) by Cavalli. very lovely.

I'll happily take your word for this... ;-)Diapason wrote:I think I play a few movements from Tallis voluntaries. Possibly more fun for player than listener.
I'll keep my eye open on the price for you.. if its any consolation, I dithered too long on a couple of other box sets, which I am also regretting, post price-hike.

Sonatas 42-47... 1st listen.
although these early sonatas appear to be structurally quite simple, they are absolutely addictive, and thoroughly delightful to hear.

More Dowland lute music....
The music is very appealing for those that may not be aware of it and is very well played on these inexpensive CDs.
