Disc 5: works by Jean Adam Guilain, Charles Piroye and Louis Nicolas Clérambault.

Marcel Pérès does Templar chanting, which makes me think of the last act of Parsifal when the knights start to get a bit shirty because Amfortas won't show them the grail. It is all fabulous this CD, especially the long antiphonal Salve Regina.

, Charles Piroye

Who he? Is it the same sort of formula as Guilain? I like both Guilain's and Clerambaut's keyboard stuff by the way.

Schnittke: String Trio

[cilgwyn]

Nuff said,I suppose;but  I like the way he makes the 'Alma' theme so romantic. It's also the first recording of the symphony I heard. I'm listening to the lieder at the moment.

[Harry]

I first heard M6 when I was about 14/15 years of age [a long time ago now!]. I remember it distinctly. It was a BBC radio broadcast on a very fine summer afternoon. I had no idea at the time what I was listening to but I was enthralled. I have no idea who the orchestra/conductor combination was. It made a huge impression on me and that experience was one of the things that turned me on to classical music.
