Hh, any more research done on those Vespers of Monteverdi? Its such a unique work in that period. I have the JEG version on Archiv. Anyothers anyone can reccomend? And what are the details of that other version, the prequel to the 1610 Vespers?

Well there's been plenty of research done, just not by me! (Yesterday evening was spent reading up on Palestrina, Gesualdo, the Gabrielis and Schütz. Somehow I have to craft that into a lecture in the next two hours...) The Vespers for the Feast of Santa Barbara is on the Hyperion label, and basically interpolates a lot more chant along with some sonatas attributed to Amigone, and an anthem by Palestrina.  The Vespers considered as a whole work certainly seems to be unique, but if you take the individual resources which are contained within the 1610 publication, they are really only distinguished by their quality. The recording that I most enjoyed while listening to a few of them in preparation, was Les Arts Florissants conducted by William Christie.  |

I quite like the Cantus Cölln one, although I'm not as widely listened in this particular work as perhaps a number of others here (I like it well enough, but it's the piece I listen to least of what I would term 'key' Monteverdi). I seem to remember somebody else (Aaron Cassidy?) favoured the CC recording, too.
HH: I haven't heard the LAF recording - I'll have to make a point of tracking it down.

Slight aches and pains after a prolonged but productive period of gardening on such a fine day. Quickly rejuvenated listening to Eddi Reader 'Sings the Songs of Robert Burns' in spirited performances of Jamie Come Try Me, My Love Is Like a Red Red Rose, Willie Stewart, Ae Fond Kiss, Brose & Butter, Ye Jabobites, Wild Mountainside, Charlie Is My Darling, John Anderson My Jo, Winter Is Past and a lovely arrangement of Auld Lang Syne by Eddi Reader. I didn't know her work until David McVicar recently selected a track for his D.I. Discs and I'm now keen to hear much more. Her album is dedicated to the memory of Will Hastie (Temperance Seven) who died in 2003. "He played the clarinet for my band Fairground Attraction and showed me how to sing Red Red Rose." Pleased, too, to see the familiar name of Edwin Paling, 1st violin, RSNO, listed in the band credits. Pure joy.

Music of the Tatra Mountainsplayed by The Trebunia Family Band This is available here and my spinning of it was inspired by a composition seminar on Górecki's String Quartet no. 1 (inspired by folk music of HG's native Tatras mountains). A new student had said that it sounded nothing like folk music, so I'm hoping that a few carefully chosen extracts from this recording will demonstrate just what folk music from this part of the world can sound like.

Bantock: Celtic Symphony; The Witch of Atlas; The Sea Rievers; Hebridean Symphony. Royal PO/Handley.
When I was listening to the above, I had my headphones on. I always find that with headphones, I tend to listen more and when The Witch of Atlas was playing, Iwas finding that the score was rather more interesting and better than I had been otherwise.

Wedding Melodies, Bisseri Instrumental Group, from an Album called 'Bulgarian Folk Music'. I cannot find it anywhere on the internet!
It's essentially modern Bulgarian folk - just super fast and brilliant!

And with complex additive metres which change in nearly every bar, even when going hell-for-leather, I'll bet. Fabulous stuff.

I am still trying to get to grips with Roger Norrington (stop giggling at the back)
So am giving his Beethoven symphony 9 a whirl which actually seems quite good.
It is so difficult to know what to spin for that last half hour before you fall into the arms of Morpheus isn'it it?

Would that be the one with the London Classical Player, or that with the Stuttgarters? I particularly like the way he handled the 'village band' in the last movement with the LCP. |
