We decided to stay with Biber:
Biber - Rosenkranzsonaten Daniel Sepec (violin) Hille Perl (viola da gamba) Michael Behringer (harpsichord) Lee Santana (lute) These 4 excellent musicians make a feast out of these works. Very nice surround sound.

Etienne De Liège - In Festo Sanctissimae Trinitatis
Psallentes, Hendrik Vanden Abeele I grew up hearing Gregorian music almost every week in church. It was the best part of the Holy Mass. This is music in the same tradition, but it was not meant for churches. Brought very well by one of our numerous good polyphonic ensembles.

A powerful performance and wonderfully recorded in SACD audio.

Holst: The Planets, Op. 32
Is it just me or was anyone else shocked at how blatant Williams ripped off or "borrowed" so much of Planets for his Star Wars soundtrack? For many years I was unaware of Holst and when I finally came upon it, I felt as if I had uncovered evidence of a crime no one wanted outed publicly. When I searched it most critics would only acknowledge his "nod to Holst" as if it was a slight influence. Had to get it out there.... Anyway moving on. |
