A first listen - Livre Pour Quatuor



Hmmm - challenging but not totally unlistenable

Wow! You've started with one of the most difficult works.... It'll be smooth sailing now 

Cheers,

Well at least you survived the Symphonies,, that counts as a exercise in extreme cunning.

Hah!  Thanks for the smile, mijn vriend.

Dvorak: Piano Quintet Op.81 - Andreas Haefliger/Takacs Quartet.

It was pointed out to me by one of you kind folks that when I bought the Richter/Borodin I'd probably want another take on the Op.81. I found this performance, and in doing so found a different kind of beauty.

Vivat Rex! Sacred Choral Music of Jean Mouton is the Cheese Lords' third CD and their third world premiere recording. It was produced by Tina Chancey of Hesperus.



Jean Mouton (c. 1459 – October 30, 1522) was a French composer of the Renaissance. He was famous both for his motets, which are among the most refined of the time, and for being the teacher of Adrian Willaert, one of the founders of the Venetian School. Mouton was hugely influential both as a composer and as a teacher. Of his music, 9 Magnificat settings, 15 masses, 20 chansons, and over 100 motets survive; since he was a court composer for a king, the survival rate of his music is relatively high for the period, it being widely distributed, copied, and archived. In addition, the famous publisher Ottaviano Petrucci printed an entire volume of Mouton's masses (early in the history of music printing, most publications contained works by multiple composers).

I myself have been listening to the Fourth and Sixth (boy, you can tell it's a French orchestra in this one as soon as the oboe comes in!). Very enjoyable...

But this cycle is available much cheaper in the "Kubelik Symphony Edition" (which also includes the Schumann, Dvorak and Mahler cycles)....

Much cheaper still in Europe
