Just the Quartet tonight. The musicians are well known.
William Pleeth, mostly known as one of Jaqueline Dupré’s teachers and a member of the Allegri Quartet.
Gervase de Peyer was a founder member of the Melos Ensemble.
Béroff was on his way up, working in Paris with Yvonne Loriod, won a few prizes and went on to record works for EMI and returning to conducting of late.
Erich Gruenberg, violinist, has long been a soloist and was a founder member of what was once the London (string) Quartet. Apparently he was commandeered to play on a Beatles track!

This is Beethoven's only Oratorio and not a very popular work but I really like it I must say.

On CD....
....I think that it would be an interesting exercise to compare in detail this work to the Purcell in Simon's Listening Project thread; at the moment I would favour the Purcell.

I love both settings very much and refuse to choose between them. I think both represent different eras and stages of development. I love the Pinnock recording, especially for Dame Felicity Lott´s amazing dueling with the trumpet in "A trumpet shall be heard on high".fergus wrote:On CD....

Anthony Rolfe Johnson is wonderful too, but he can be heard in best voice in the slightly earlier Harnoncourt version.

I agree Pepe and that is why I would like to do a direct comparison between the two. I don't know why I did not do it at the time when Simon was discussing the Purcell....a senior moment I fear!
