Tír Na HiFi

Of the original version for orchestra, Brüggen´s swipes the board.

And the Quatuor Mosaïques do the same in the string quartet version.

^^ well, I own the following at present:

I think the Harnoncourt is still the best recording of the oratorio version, but the Accentus is also very good.

It is a wonderful performance, I really like the Amadeus Quartet's recording too.

a lovely disk Darren, and a very early purchase of mine...

Any better results here Darren?

Bach Cantata BWV106 (Actus Tragicus)....





The Actus Tragicus, for use at funerals, has at its opening, one of Bach’s simplest and most beautiful melodies.

Marginally. But I do think this is the Bruckner symphony I will eternally struggle with. I used to think the same way about LvB's 6th but now I love it. So, there is hope....
