Yes, the whole boxset is well worth owning... as is often the case with Pinnock, the tempos are quick and light.fergus wrote:Symphonies 16-19....

JS Bach: BWV202 wedding cantata....
This is a beautiful and simple secular cantata with some lovely oboe work in it, especially that gorgeous interplay between the soprano and the oboe in the opening movement.

The owners of CPO told me that this was his best selling recording.
Francesco Durante is not that obscure. He is one of those marvelous Neapolitan composers that worked all over Europe during the first half of the XVIII Century taking with them the peculiar and lovely Neapolitan style.
Once more the Collegium Cartusianum under the always efficient Peter Neumann do the work proud.

Myslivecek was a famous contemporary of Mozart, who composed in every genre, though opera was his specialty. And this Passion couldn´t be more operatic if it tried. The vocal demands on the singers are very great, and unfortunately not all the singers in this recording are up to them, but since it´s unlikely that we´ll ever get another version, we might as well stay content with it. The orchestra is excellent though.

We will stick together on this one Jared and we will be safer in (smaller) numbers!

Re: What are you listening to?
Fergus, I will be returning to the 'day job' of Baroque/Classical/ Romantic repertoire within the next couple of weeks, to work through my growing backlog, however my Renaissance exploration has been a highly delightful and educational experience, which has helped give me an enhanced appreciation of the development of CM from an earlier period. The entire of my 'top shelf' now contains Renaissance & EM, and this will be added to periodically as and when the mood takes. Tallis, Byrd, Victoria, Palestrina, Josquin, Ockeghem, Lassus, Dufay and Gabrieli among others have opened a whole new set of doors... ;-)fergus wrote:We will stick together on this one Jared and we will be safer in (smaller) numbers!
at present:
what did you think of this when you heard it? Quite different from anything I have hitherto and certainly very pleasant...
Re: What are you listening to?
this is a truly fascinating album from a cultural/ historical point of view.. I simply must get some more Orlando Gibbons Madrigals at some stage..
