I've heard great things about that Gardiner set, actually.

BTW, any thoughts on Gardiner's Missa Solemnis?

Some second-hand contemporary music purchases today:

Freidemann Herz playing organ music by Rihm, Ruzicka, Feldman, Scelsi and Hespos.
Kurtag's song cycles Messages of the late Miss R. V. Troussova and Scenes from a Novel, plus ...quasi una fantasia... conducted by Peter Eotvos.
"I don't at all mind actively disliking a piece of contemporary music, but in order to feel happy about it I must consciously understand why I dislike it. Otherwise it remains in my mind as unfinished business."

Sure; L'Orfeo is really an out-sized madrigal scena   ;D ;D ;D

I know L'Orfeo is a great work, but I can't listen to it. Seems like very static, music sounds too old. I guess my preference in music is High Baroque or later.

Unusual repertoire for Dutoit. I don't know this disc. Any thoughts yet, Bill? Got anything to compare it to?

Sarge

Sarge,
Dutoit/Montréal could do a orchestral transcription of the London Calling album and I would buy it unheard! ;D (Actually, listened to the Elgar cd today and enjoyed it very much, but then again, I have nothing to compare it to.)

Good morning/evening/night/afternoon to all!

Now, Harry, my friend... not teasing you at all, because it never crossed my mind (or my ears) that Missa Solemnis is about soprano screaming. ;D

I understand...Dutoit and Montréal were a match made in heaven. They had a great run.
