personally, I have quite a soft spot for the Tintner, in all it's unpolished, unedited, brassy glory...
Yes, good idea Jared, I had forgotten Tintner who is always good in Bruckner I find and I am sure can be picked up quite cheaply by one saving to do a Masters!!

Nicoló Jommelli was one of the most famous and celebrated composers of his time, but like his contemporary Hasse his rediscovery has taken some time. These late Baroque or almost pre-Classical Lamentationes are magnificent music, very different of course from the better known but much earlier Couperin or Zelenka settings, but equally great. My favourite countertenor Gérard Lesne gives a sovereign performance, and he is excellently supported by the then very young Veronique Gens. This time Lesne invited his friend Christophe Rousset to conduct the ensemble Il Seminario Musicale, and the results are stunning. No matter how many times I have heard this recording, and trust me dozens, I´m always fascinated by the invention of the great Jommelli.
