Two Renaissance Dance Bands [Munrow]





Tielman Susato: Twelve Dances from "The Danserye"

[aligreto]

How exciting! I'm very jealous Fergus. Some years ago he sent an absolutely charming reply to my letter to him (c/o RTE Dublin) telling him how much I'd enjoyed the Marco Polo CD featuring his Third and Fourth symphonies, which is still my favourite CD of his music, much as I enjoyed the others as well. He also very kindly arranged to me be sent a couple of CDs of music by Irish composers. It didn't surprise me to read of your favourable impression of the man himself. Thanks for posting this.

From what little I know of the man that does not surprise me at all.

Disc 1

Symphony no 1 in C minor - with the London Philharmonic Orchestra
Tragic Overture - with the London Symphony Orchestra
Alto Rhapsody - with Janet Baker, John Alldis Choir, London Symphony Orchestra

Conductor Sir Adrian Boult.

Very good performances of both the symphony and the Tragic Overture but the stand out item here (for me at least) is the Alto Rhapsody with Janet Baker at her finest.

Wow, sounds great. I don't know if I need a whole Brahms cycle from Boult, but I'm going to seek out that recording of the Alto Rhapsody at least. I love Janet Baker.

Current listening for me:

[asin]B00008FTYD[/asin]

Franz Schubert: String Quintet in C major, D956. Pavel Haas Quartet + Danjulo Ishizaka. What a performance! This rivals my favorite, the Rostropovich/Emerson. (I was less impressed with the Death and the Maiden on the other disc, but I'll be returning to it).

[Tsaraslondon]

Wow, sounds great. I don't know if I need a whole Brahms cycle from Boult, but I'm going to seek out that recording of the Alto Rhapsody at least. I love Janet Baker.

If you like Janet Baker, then you shoud consider this fantastic set.



- 20 discs of superb music making, including the Alto Rhapsody.

It's also on this slighty cheaper 5 CD Icon Box

[vers la flamme]

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor, op.23. Van Cliburn, Kirill Kondrashin, RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra. Just as good a performance as the Rachmaninoff on the other side, but I am much less a fan of Tchaikovsky. This is one of his better works, I think, and I do enjoy it.

@Tsaraslondon, I'm a new fan of Dame Janet, and 20 discs is more than I'd know what to do with. But that Icon box certainly looks worthy. I'll have to check for it.
