Schutz? In that case you'll have a long wait ahead of you.

Schutz wrote no instrumental music in our sense of the term.
HIP for all and all for HIP! Harpsichord for Bach, fortepiano for Beethoven and pianoforte for Brahms!

Which is why he'll have to wait a long time...Come on!

The wait you suggested is like waiting for Godot or for the Second Coming... I prefer to tell the plain truth.  :)

I would prefer him to sit waiting for Schutz rather than hang around on street corners and get himself into trouble.

Or he could listen to Scheidt, who wrote plenty of instrumental?

That is a fine disc by the way, remember that well.

Apologies, I meant to refer to Stolzel. Nice to find out there is Schutz too.

Oh and a Schietz too  :D

What is it with the Germans and the 'S'?  ;D

Thanks for the recommendations.

Nice Harry! :) How are those?

And now we are on the subject - did you by any chance already got this issue with cantatas by Erlebach with Ludger Rémy as conductor? Erlebach is a composer who interests me on account of the issue on Alpha I got a while ago. This issue received a very positive review (in German) HERE.

When I started with the this cd, I was so overpowered by the beauty of his compositions, and the genial writing for voices, that I afterwards ordered the Cantatas. I think they are well recorded, and truly German in their conception, lucid, and straightforward with a honest outlook.
And I have the Erlebach, but have not listen to it yet!

I see in the last Gramophone magazine that Norrington appear to cherish the St Mattheus Passion of Schütz. What do you think of this work, and which are great recordings on the market (probably not so many...)? What about these two - Kurz/Chor der Staatsoper Stuttgart on BellaMusica or Flämig/Dresdner Kreuzchor on Berlin Classics?

I have the original release of this. Essential!  0:)

Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Recently I bought my first Heinichen CD, this one:



I have to say Johann David Heinichen (1683-1729) is very interesting composer and his music seems to be of high quality. I enjoy this CD very much and I will definitely collect more Heinichen.

I'm not familiar with that cd, but I have Junghänel's recording of the Membra Jesu Nostri which is staggeringly beautiful!  I'll bet the Geistliche Cantaten is a winner too.

If those interest you, then you should consider the Musica Antiqua Köln and Reinhard Goebel's recording of the Dresden Concerti.  I understand that's been re-issued by DG, so that copies will be reasonably priced.

The cantatas of Buxtehude are truly special. Now if only somebody else besides Tom Koopman would decide to record them. Fat chance i guess.

I have been considering that for a long time.  ;) It's all about priorities. Heinichen isn't the only composer I want to explore. There is another cpo disc I'm interested about too. I don't have anything from Zelenka yet so perhaps I should correct that first? I haven't even heard Zelenka's music but I have read so much good about it I am really interested.

Yep, you got it right.  ;)

Buxtehude's cantatas are sadly underrecorded. Complete set of Bruhns' cantatas would be nice too as the Ricercar release is OOP with big "O".  :P
