Requiem Canticles

[Tsaraslondon]

This is not really my field and early polyphony is not something I listen to much, but this strikes me as being a superb disc. Excellent performances brilliantly recorded.

Robert Simpson: Symphony No.1 (Boult) on LP:
This is my favourite of the Simpson symphonies, the other being No.3.

On the Way to Bethlehem:





Dinersade: this is a traditional Syrian piece and not insubstantial at 13:46 minutes long with terrific ensemble playing.
Mevlana: this is a traditional Sufi piece and again not insubstantial at 12:04 minutes long also with terrific ensemble playing.

I would agree with that.

Are you familiar with both ensembles Jeffrey? If not, they are definitely worth checking out. There are a series of Naxos CD's featuring them which get good traction here.

I've just ordered it 
I wonder if you know this CD Fergus, which I first came across as background music to an audio-book of Danté's 'Inferno'. I have played it repeatedly over many years:

Dmitri Shostakovich: String Quartet No.14 in F-sharp major, op.142. Pacifica Quartet
Beautiful slow movement. Somewhat chorale-like. And then the finale is super interesting, it appears to use a 12-tone row and has a serial feel to some of its melodies; it's angular, but quite approachable. One of the better Shostakovich quartets. I'm not sure if there is a "mythos" around the late DSCH SQs like there is with Beethoven's, but I want to hear more of them now. I've had this box set for nearly a year and I still have not heard all of the quartets.

I've mentioned it before but this website is an interesting companion (also includes a page about 'the Lady Macbeth affair'):

Thanks; I must have bookmarked it the last time you'd brought it up because I managed to find my way back to it the other day when I was listening to that quartet! Definitely a great resource.

Johann Sebastian Bach: Mass in B minor, BWV232. John Eliot Gardiner, English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir

The ultimate Sunday morning listening... Not sure if I'll be listening to the whole thing, or what. But currently enjoying the Kyrie and Gloria...

Gardiner's brass sounds amazing here, as does the choir. I'm not always a fan of Gardiner but he seems to bring it home here with the Hohe Messe, his favorite work according to an interview I saw one time.
