Re: What are you listening to?
Thanks for that Darren. I know that I am like a broken record on this one but I think that the Summerly version on Naxos is still the best that I have yet heard. It is the original small orchestra version and it stripr the musical sonorities, textures and emotions right down to the bare bones!bombasticDarren wrote:Faure's Requiem is a work thats appeal has often eluded me Fergus...
...however, this recording may just have made it 'click' for me. I recommend it.
Just to put you in the picture the other recordings I own are:-
Cluytens (EMI)
Giulini (DG)
Gardiner (Philips)

Telemann – Recorder Sonatas and Fantasias played by Frans Bruggen....
Listening to JS Bach’s Cantata BWV46 this morning with its lovely recorder passages prompted me to listen to more recorder music.
This is beautifully engaging music that is wistful at times. Speeds are lively in the allegros which allow the music to dance and sing. The slow movements are thoughtful and suitably pensive. A very sensitive continuo is provided by Anner Bylsma and Gustav Leonhardt. The instruments are beautifully recorded with a lovely balance struck between all three.
