Don't worry Ciaran, I doubt it will be my last 1610 Vespers whether I like this recording or not.
Fergus, I thought you had that disc above already?

Re: Recent Purchases
Do give us a good report on that one Fergus as I have it in my amazon basket at the moment. In particular let me know what the balance is like between the choir and the orchestra. For this Requiem I prefer it when the orchestra just whispers above the choir on occasion but never being too dominant.fergus wrote:

No Simon. Herreweghe recorded this work twice and the one that I bought not so long ago was the later or full orchestra version. By way of contrast this is the “Madeline” version, original version or smaller forces version. I wanted to have both versions.Diapason wrote: Fergus, I thought you had that disc above already?
