The Renaissance Flute. on Historical instruments

Peter Thalheimer, plays on nine different Recorders and Transverse Flutes.


A remarkable recording, made in the very beginning of the HIP movement, and still valid in that sense. It could have been made in 2021. Authentic and insightful, approached with a creative attitude and an open mind for what could have been, I consider this a valuable addition to my collection. I am not a very great fan of recorders, but this is the exception on the rule. Well recorded by Audite.

Victoria: Missa Ave Maris Stella [Noone]





This is superbly written Polyphony.

Disc 4: Missa de Beate Virgine; Magnificat Primi Toni; Marian Motets

A wonderful set, but upon revisiting it my single issue with it remains the same. It does not sound like Spanish Renaissance, but like English Renaissance.

I hope that you enjoy your new purchase, Jan. It will certainly be somewhat different music for you.

Richard Franck.
Trio in B minor, opus 20 & in E flat major, opus 32.

Christoph Schickedanz, Violin.
Thomas Blees, Cello.
Bernhard Fograscher, Piano.

I am very taken with Richard Franck's music. It offers all possible incentive to involve oneself in this late romantic music. Franck is a thorough composer who knows clearly the quickest way to ones heart. His melodies are engaging and full of meaning. His musical knowledge and composition style is clearly based on what was before him and during his life, as if as a sponge he sucked up every style and influence and make his own world out of it. To me his music is very akin to what I expect, and does not disappoint in any way. Sound is okay.

Yes, you can say that Fergus, enjoy it so far. It is light-hearted music but the quality is high and in a positive sense incomparable with all the musicals of our time. It's the first time I listen to this composer and I like it. Of course I can't say anything about all the other works, but this one does sound very nice.
The recording is very pleasant, no regrets whatsoever about purchasing this set.

Allan Pettersson, arranged by Eskil Hemberg: Suite from Barefoot Songs for soprano and mixed chorus. Margareta Dahlstrom, Eskil Hemberg, Stockholm University Chorus

Very calm, tranquil music, not at all what I expect from Pettersson, but then I'm not reading along with the texts (poetry by the composer himself).

Richard Wetz: Symphony No.3 in B-flat major, op.48. Erich Peter, Symphonisches Orchester Berlin

Maurice Ravel: Ma Mère l'Oye. Charles Dutoit, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal

First listen; found this CD at the record store last week. So far so good.

Nice album. I used to admire Dutoit before the scandal.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

"Dr Robert" and "Old Brown Shoe"

Killer tunes! I love both the songs. Paul thinks he played the bass of Old Brown Shoe while George thought he had played the bass. Sounds like George to me.
