I got Cantatas Box 2 and 3 from MDT when they came out, but they're described as a limited edition and MDT appears to have run out of all the boxes, except on of the Mass, Passions and Oratorios. Cantata boxes are still on Amazon, at a higher price.Diapason wrote:I wouldn't mind a few more of those Suzuki boxes, though.

I offered a piece of advice before Seán, and it was something along the lines of not thinking of or listening to it as "Religious" music, but just as "Music". I also do not have a shred of religion in my make up but I listen to vast amounte of "Religious" music....it can be just so beautiful and again one has to remember the historical context in which the Masters wrote this stuff. Close your eyes and let it wash over your soul....if you have one!Seán wrote:I am an agnostic and I am trying (hard) "to get into" religious music, so far it's easy to listen to Haydn & Bach for short periods of time.

Indeed you did Fergus and as a result I do listen to "Religious" music, it is very good advice indeed.fergus wrote:I offered a piece of advice before Seán, and it was something along the lines of not thinking of or listening to it as "Religious" music, but just as "Music".

I was told to imagine every artist today was told they were only allowed to take photogrpahs (or make sculptures or knit whatever) from now on....fergus wrote:I offered a piece of advice before Seán, and it was something along the lines of not thinking of or listening to it as "Religious" music, but just as "Music".

there would be a vast panolpy of beautiful things created regardless of the artists being restricted to a particular medium
thus it is perfectly reasonable to regard "religious music" as just "music". For so long it was the only viable outlet for professional composers that even when the restrictions were lifted, the skill sets were so deeply ingrained they continued to be used even while others moved on to secular themes
