Some beautiful henningmusick for the morning

[Harry]

A composer that can be called a forgotten master.

I really must get into this Henning bloke.

You certainly should!

Perhaps try some of these for starters:

Annabel Lee, Op.111 for vocal quartet
Misapprehension, Op.112 for clarinet choir
Plotting (y is the new x), Op.116 for violin & harpsichord
Jazz for Nostalgic Squirrels, Op.117 (fl, cl in A, gtr & cb)
When the morning stars sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy, Op.118 № 1 (shakuhachi, drum & handbell choir)
Divinum mysterium, Op.118 № 2[/b] (choir unison & handbells)

Make that MISTER Henning!   

Somewhere on Karl's site you can also find the highly recommended Nuhro, Out in the Sun (which I was able to hear live at a performance at the University of Michigan some years ago), and the Viola Sonata.

Out in the Sun at Soundcloud.
Here's the post with the Nuhro link, among others - I'll listen to it after the Bach secular cantatas.

I've been busy, in fact, loading stuff up onto SoundCloud.  For those who may be interested:

Hodie Christus natus est, Op. 76 (five-part choir and clarinet)

Suffrages from the Evening Svc in D, Op. 87 (officiant and four-part choir)

Nuhro (Hymn of Light), Op. 74 (choir divided in up to seven parts)

Alleluia in A^b, Op. 33 (four-part choir)

Pascha nostrum, Op. 62a (four-part choir)

Bach
Vereinigte Zwietracht, BWV 207
Tönet, ihr Pauken! Erschallet, Trompeten, BWV 214
Herreweghe

[Harry]

Chamber music on a high level.

It's interesting how Henning's opuses seem to start at 100. 

Sorry, that quip probably isn't understandable unless you're aware of my fondness for following a composer's work chronologically... in fact, Mr. Henning might be one of the people most aware of that from following my blog...

Anyway, I decided to start off with op.120, fairly hot off the presses I understand. Then I tried op.111, op.117, op.16, op.33, op.98 and op.116.

Thought op.117 was delightful, and found op.16 highly atmospheric (I do hope Mr. Henning hasn't repudiated his earlier works!). Enjoyed op.111 the least, but still didn't hate it and I suspect I was reacting against the recording more than the music. Liked pretty well everything enough to be interested in listening to it again sometime and getting to know it properly.

Now... is there a thorough list of opuses somewhere, including works yet to be recorded? I do like my lists.

I'd like to see that thorough list, too.
Where is your blog?
Annabel Lee, Op. 111 does have a peculiar sound, reminds me of reed instruments. I'd like to hear Cinquecento record it before I'm going to suggest which bits I found a bit jarring..

Thread duty
Bach
'Gott, man lobet dich in der Stille,' BWV 120
Herreweghe & al.

Where is your blog?

Attached to my profile. Nice of them to provide a spot for putting a URL of your choice. Little globe under my name.

I used to maintain one at a Tripod site, which I've not been keeping up.  But your question is prompting me to act upon the plan to harvest the info therefrom, and update it.  Will advise, and will probably post over at the HQ.

Thanks, everyone, for listening!

Exactly as you say Harry, a notch above the good Naxos recordings.

These dropped down in the mailbox an hour ago from amazon.ca:

Very well timed for Easter after being backlogged for a couple of months!

My resolution to not buy any CDs in 2014 is being sorely tested by an urge to buy everything the Alexander Quartet has done on Foghorn Classics.

That is what I felt after I heard their Bartok!  Looks I will be hearing their Brahms now.

[bwv 1080]

bought their Beetoven SQ cycle a few weeks back and have really liked it

[G. String]

Mozart's Requiem (Sussmayr): Butt/Dunedin Consort

Most probably it will be the first choice for many...great approach and great recording.
