Re: What are you listening to?
Like his Mahler efforts, there is not too much drama going on here with Fischer. The performance could be described as polite but still enjoyable nonetheless. I'm sure that it will reward more with further listening. To be honest though, I havent listened to Dvoraks 7th in a quite a while so I had no real reference in mind for which to judge the above against.Ciaran wrote:Did you like that, Dave?

Re: What are you listening to?
I quite enjoyed it Fergus particulary the Motets. The music was paired down with little in the way of instrumentation but the soloists and small choir sang beautifully. There was a very spiritual feel to the Exequien IMHO.fergus wrote:What did you think of it Dave....any comments?DaveF wrote: Henrich Schutz.

Re: What are you listening to?
That's a wonderful performance of a great piece of music, Dave, and the couplings are very fine as well. Schütz's music warrants further investigation and the re-discovery of his work (along with Jan Dismas Zelenka's) is one of the great success stories of the past thirty years. Also check out the following magnificent performances which are never far from my CD player:DaveF wrote:My first introduction to the music of Henrich Schutz.

Thanks for that mcq. Much appreciated. Plenty of music to explore there.

Re: What are you listening to?
Thanks to both of you for your comments....it is always interesting and exciting to come across a composer that one has no experience of and who proves to have a lot to offer....DaveF wrote:Thanks for that mcq. Much appreciated. Plenty of music to explore there.
