Morning listening:



A gorgeous recording that focuses on the Southern Netherlands and its artistic ties with Italy, and the music at the Brussels court in the early 1600's.

That is indeed a wonderful recording, a treasure in my collection.
Hope you came well through the storm Que?
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.

Good morning Harry. No problems!  :)
A tree came down, blocking the road around the corner. We heard the noise of chain saws late at night.

Your roof OK?

Pergolesi: Stabat Mater
Choristers of New College Oxford
Academy of Ancient Music - Edward Higginbottom

Domenico Scarlatti: Stavate Mater
Elizabeth Poole (soprano), Neil MacKenzie (tenor)
BBC Singers
David Miller (theorbo), Frances Kelly (baroque harp), Gary Cooper (organ continuo)
Directed by Harry Christophers

Of the two performances here, the stronger is the Scarlatti, though both are serviceable rather than outstanding.

Two discs fully dedicated to William Byrd ahead. Here my point of reference will be the amazing performances by Davitt Moroney in his set for Hyperion.

Thank God, all is good, just a lot of rubble
Did not sleep though, for the gusts of wind still made a lot of noise.

Astor Piazzolla and The New Tango Quintet

A complete change of pace, style and genre this morning. A labour of love by Piazolla, he called it "the greatest record I've ever made," and I'm not about to disagree with him.
