Weiss, Silvius (1687-1750) - London Manuscript w/ Michel Cardin - 12 CD box - the 'complete' liner notes (53 pages) are too large to attach but are located HERE, for those interested.  Dave

 

That set certainly gets a lot of love around here Dave, including from myself.

Giovanni Sgambati.

Symphony No 1, opus 16 in D major, & No. 2 in E flat major.

Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, Ola Rudner.

This is a composer that can put WOW behind his name. Stunning music in perfect performances, and excellent sound.

JC Bach: Sinfonias Op. 9 Nos. 1-3 [Gmur]





Gmur does justice to this wonderful music.

New arrival, first listen.

Franz Lachner.
Symphony No 3 opus 41 in D minor.
Festouvertüre.

Evergreen SO, Gernot Schmalfuss.

I have been an admirer of this composer since long, and this CD only strengthens my resolve.
Good performance and sound. This orchestra gets better all the time. Schmalfuss is a fine repetitor and conductor.

Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck.
Complete Keyboard works.
CD I. Second rerun.

Daniele Boccaccio, Organ.

Instruments used on CD I.

Harpsichord is by Sebastiano Cali, 2017, after Joannes Couchet 1697.

Johanneskirche, Oederquart, 1678 Arp Schnitger
Marienkirche, Lemgo, 1612/13 Fritz Scherer
Andreaskirche, Ostoennen (Soest) around 1550
Both organs on this disc were recently restored/reconstructed by the organ builder  Rowan West"

There is no doubt that Boccaccio uses fine instruments, beautifully restored, and to be honest I find them better played as on the NM set, which I also own, but not surpassing, Leon Berben in his complete set, or for that matter Masaaki Suzuki on BIS, (Selection)
I find Boccaccio's interpretation of the "Fantasia Crommatica" riveting and spirited in just the right amount, followed by a almost spiritual "Puer nobis Nascitur", and that goes for that matter for the whole CD I am listening too. Well played, recorded and above all masterly done in terms of tempi, phrasing, the use of stops, the warmth and harmony he achieves. If this CD is anything to go by, this set will become a contender to any set for most people. I keep a preference for Berben and Suzuki. but this set is a welcome addition to my collection.
The Organs and Harpsichord all sound as they should, as if stepping back in time.
