Happy Easter to all on the Forum and go easy on the chocolate today....especially Pepe; I will be watching you!!!

We just had a ferocious Easter egg hunt at home and I outwitted all my nephews, well those under 3 years of age :-)

J.S. Bach - Easter Oratorio BWV 249 Kommt, Eilet und Laufet (Yukari Nonoshita/Patrick von Goethem/Jan Kobow/Chiyuki Urano/Masaaki Suzuki, Bach Collegium Japan, BIS)

I have just logged on to post the very same item Darren, so great minds do think alike. I really like Bach's Easter Oratorio and the more I listen to Bach's Sacred Music the more I like it, that's real progress for me.

Pepe, I'm not sure whether they are allowed to sell ferocious Easter eggs over here... I think that Brussels banned them on Health & Safety grounds. So these days, we just have to make do with sickly ones... ;-)

Thanks for that offer Fergus which I would like to take you up on.

That is fine; I will dig them out and start the mini project in a day or so. It is comforting to know that I will have an audience of at least one!!!

Et moi aussi, you do have a few (silent) admirers hereabouts, Fergus.

......I think that I bored the pants off every member but I just love that music.

I am never bored by someone speaking or writing passionately about (Jazz or) Classical music Fergus, so do not hesitate to share your thoughts with us.

A few years ago I bought this copy of the Requiem after you recommended it, I must listen to it again:

Happy Easter Pepe, it is really lovely to have you here posting with us. It's great to get one up on the young one's even if it is only the toddlers, LOL

Thanks to all.

Bruckner - Symphony No.9 (Gunter Wand, Kolner Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester, RCA)

[Jared]

I have to tell you all, I'm just SOOO in love with this (to me) recently discovered body of work... every sonata is a little treasure, and it's helped me quite a bit with gaining an understanding of the development of the form..

Lately, I have been revisiting pieces or recordings that I have not listened to for 8 or more years.







Very nice to go back to old favorites. After that long it is like listening to them for the first time.


And then some religious music that I like:





The Fauré's is like an old friend to me. I especially like the original (and more light) version of that work. My first exposure to that work was from the Naxos disk mentioned above. Beautiful and touching music.

It is only the 3rd time that I listened to the Duruflé's requiem and I find it amazing. Lots of depth in that work.

And then I gave more listed to two box sets from Sony Classical that cheerish a lot:

Mozart symphonies 35 to 41 from



And Haydn Symphonies 92 to 95 from



Ideal light music to play in the background while doing something else.

And finally I am currently going through a big crush with Philip Glass' music. I have listened to and greatly enjoy

His Symphony no. 3



and

Glassworks from





Matt.
