What are you listening to now?

[Mandryka]

Lasso : Psalmi Davidis poenitentiales: Domine, ne in furore ... miserere mei, "Psalm 6"
Dufay Ensemble 
Kiem, Eckehard - Conductor

I'd be interested in your comments about that.

[Mandryka]

Interesting, Mandryka.  Didn't realize Kovacevic had recorded the Diabelli Variations a second time.  I have his first recordings of DV, and really dig it! 

It's quite different from the Philips recording

The Dufay Ensemble. I have very positive experiences with their recordings - must be good!?

[Fafner]

This is the first time I've heard Varnay in anything other than Brünnhilde, but I am impressed!  Her Beethoven and Verdi are great, and the Wesendonck-Lieder are below the green lemon.

Q

I feel the same in fact, on the basis of their Josquin.

A great version, beautifully played, no doubt; but it's so hard to my ears to accept this instrumentation including oboe and bassoon. 

Interesting enough, I have similar problems with accepting the caleidoscopic instrumentation of this otherwise fine interpretation, and haven´t listened to it for years..

Hey, I haven't heard that piece yet! Listening to it now from YT:

I knew that piece would be cool, and sho' 'nuff, 'deed it is!

Re: Dufay Ensemble

Along with the Josquin Des Prez recordings I have three of Jacobus Vaet music, which are excellent.

I have the Dufay Ensemble's Jacobus Vaet as well.  I which I had the Des Prez.

Haven't heard that Schumann piece either.  Hmm, still so much to listen to. 

[Mandryka]

Op 27/1. It swings along with such alacrity that Kempff's performance here effaces the memory of all others I've heard except maybe Kempff's other mono recording.


I love this sonata.

Earlier: Brahms: Die schöne Magelone (Fischer-Dieskau and Richter). Songs are not a big part of my listening and in this case, obviously DFD is impressive but I found myself more interested in what Richter was doing.

Now: Wilms: Symphony 6 (Concerto Köln). A recent purchase, based on Jens's recommendations from several years ago. It's better than I expected -- thanks Jens!

I like your disciplined style my dear friend. Absent some days, you have resumed the work at the very same point where you left off.

Bach : Cello Suite No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1008
Kuijken, Sigiswald - cello da spalla



Any other recommendations for these works performed on the period instrument?

Well, AFAIK, there are just two other options: Badiarov (Ramée) and Terakado (Denon).

Both of them are excellent, although I prefer Badiarov. Please tell me if you need some specifics.
