A beautiful CD and warmly recommended.
Gorgeous singing by the most musical and elegant of countertenors. And here is the only vocal version of La Follia that I know of.
What are you listening two?

Dutch soprano Elly Ameling had one of the most ravishing lyric voices of the 60´s and 70´s. Because of her strict upbringing she never sang opera on stage, but had a long and distinguished career in the concert hall. Her direct, unmannered and honest way with these songs is admirable.

Re: What are you listening two?
Yes, intriguing. Elly Ameling belongs to that wonderful generation of Mozart sopranos that included Lucia Popp, Helen Donath and Edith Mathis, but sadly, Ameling didn´t perform operas on stage.
She was in huge demand as a recitalist though.

Did you like that set Mark?
It is not a set that was mentioned on my recent thread on the same subject so I would be interested in your thoughts.
This is my favourite version of the three sets which I own, the other two being the Freiberger Barokorchester and Musica Antiqua Koln version.
The recording has a distinct clarity with great instrument separation and a fine performance played with great delicacy and feeling - but then I'm strongly in thrall to everything Savall right now.

Cheers, Mark and thank you for that. I may well look into that one.markof wrote:markof wrote:

I have just finished listening to this recent purchase....
I really enjoyed the set. The performances were most enjoyable and certainly justify the recommendations in my recent thread.
