The last CD from this box. In my opinion a reference box for all choir lovers with music from the Renaissance.

It is true, that the Hinsz-organ in Buitenkerk, Kampen is equally tuned, but the Schonat-organ in Nieuwe kerk, Amsterdam is tuned Werckmeister III.

Alfven: A Legend of the Skerries -





A fine piece of atmospheric music with some wonderful orchestration.

[aligreto]

This is a very fine recording.   

It is indeed and it put me in mind to listen to some Monteverdi Madrigals which is something that I have not done in some time.

[André]

The set as a whole is slightly disappointing. There is a stuffiness that is at odds with what I expect from the composer. But Davis' Eroica is up there with the very best. Grand, imperial, slashing yet weighty.

[Autumn Leaves]

This morning's listening:

Tveitt: : Sun God Symphony -





This is a wonderful, full bodied work which works on many levels. I love the somewhat understated, low key tone in which it works along with the [sometimes harsh] harmonies.

[aligreto]

I think that set still holds up very well.

[San Antone]

Le Mystère des Templiers

In compiling Le Mystère des Templiers Naive chose from recordings by Marcel Pérès and Ensemble Organum's Ambroisie disc Le chant de Templiers, in which the Ensemble Organum sing from a 12th century manuscript, kept in Jerusalem, once used by the Templars themselves. The balance of the disc is lent to a number of selections that can be seen as loosely related to the Templars or belonging to their time period. This would include Ensemble Gilles Binchois singing Notre Dame Organa, Discantus performing music of Hildegard von Bingen and anonymous works, and Alla Francesca playing the popular hits of the day.
