I agree with Dave on this one Seán....the OAE are a wonderful outfit and always play to a consistently high standard.Seán wrote:[
On balance I prefer the OAE recordings and that's high praise indeed.

Re: What are you listening to?
In Leipzig the performance of cantatas in church during Lent was not permitted so, obviously, during his time there JSB did not write any. So, this morning I have turned my attention to the first of the four smaller Masses that he wrote. One does not hear of them a lot but they are little gems containing beautiful and gentle music. They have a different “feel” about them to the Cantatas but are wonderful works in themselves.
This morning’s offering is the Mass in F BWV233 played and sung by Collegium Vocale, Ghent/Herreweghe....

On the last few Sunday mornings I have listened to the Weil/Tafelmusik recording of Haydn's Paukenmesse. It's simply gorgeous and Ana Monoyios.........ah what a beautiful voice!

WOW....two big surprises in one Seán....Seán wrote:On the last few Sunday mornings I have listened to the Weil/Tafelmusik recording of Haydn's Paukenmesse. It's simply gorgeous and Ana Monoyios.........ah what a beautiful voice!
a) listening to and enjoying "Religious" music
b) complimenting a specimen of the human voice
Seriously though, it is a great disc. I also have the companion disc to that of Haydn's Heiligmesse which I also like.

Re: What are you listening to?
Absolutely. As you mentioned a while back, there are a lot of very fine Vivaldi recordings available these days.Ciaran wrote:What a golden age we're in for Vivaldi!
That one arrived for me in the post last week. Looking forward to it.Ciaran wrote: Then this very good Weckmann CD from Cantus Cölln:

Re: What are you listening to?
I am sitting at home in front of the PC this morning struggling with a bad head cold and trying hard to recover enough to drag myself off this afternoon to the performance in St. Annes of JSB's The Musical Offering.
Just in case I do not make it I have just played the piece as performed by the Linde Consort (hopefully not by way of consolation).....
