Sigh. It would be so nice if record labels remembered not all of their customers do downloads.

Whoa, I didn't even notice that. That surprises me because this is the sort of physical release that I imagine would make the money - 2 huge names and a world famous orchestra/chorale - that feels like money.

Another batch-downloads.
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

"When Time hath gnawed our bones to dust, yet friendship's echo shall not rust"

Cough cough

Meanwhile the government shutdown here in the US seems to trapped my orders with the Mozart quintet set in customs.

I have The Barber of Seville sung in German. The way Hermann Prey successfully stuffing what seems like dozens of consonants into every bar of music has to be a superhuman achievement!
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

Well, what @Wanderer said: French is an improvement over German, so why not? After all, it's Mozart, it should sound great even sung in Tagalog.  :laugh:

And actually, when I wrote my comment I confused DEADS with CFT.

Not a 'konzept' thing, just the 'normal' Requiem plus a new composition by Fazil Say.



The 4-movement version in the most recent attempt at completing the work.


Shelley is fond of 'concept' programs. After his 8 discs of mixed Robert/Clara/Johannes works on that same label, they ride again with a series of 4 discs mixing R. Strauss with contemporary canadian composers works that are supposed to be somehow related to the main offering (Don Juan and Death and Transfiguration here).
