Quote from: Harry on February 29, 2024, 03:05:53 AMWell actually there are! But with a different ensemble, but quite as good. Look for Ensemble Peregrina, you will find at least 10+ recordings. I sampled them, and it made me smile of pleasure.

The one which left a big impression on me is the Wizlav von Rügen on Tacet, part of their Mare Balticum series. I just noticed one released in December called Vox Dilecti Mei, which I'll listen to later today hopefully.

Quote from: premont on February 29, 2024, 04:10:54 AMWhich ensemble - if I may ask?

A different ensemble "Ensemble Peregrino"  but with a soprano from "Ensemble Perlaro", namely Agnieszka Budzinska-Bennett, and she made a bunch of recordings on the label Tacet, which have the same quality in my view.

A lot of new recordings have appeared since the Dorati set, but it still holds its ground.

I think that was a good choice.

Wrapping up a first listen of the whole set.  The more famous works sound good, but as with other comprehensive surveys, even with something like Schubert's piano sonatas, the value in this set is to be found in the lesser known works.

Yes, if you think of Ensemble Peregrina and Ensemble Dragma I agree completely.
Any so-called free choice is only a choice between the available options.

I suppose most of this is monodic.

New one for me. Playlisted!

Thanks Harry :)

I have not seen anyone on GMG having an interest in this music, which is a bit of a mystery to me, for this composer has a distinctive voice. His compositions are not a run of the mill, but rather shows what a talent this man is, in writing accessible music in a context that is very much of this time.
Wit and serious lightness, musical eclecticism at its best. To try is to get wiser. Excellent performance and SOTA sound.

Today I was alerted to the existence of this CD, but I found it to be in my library for quite some time now. On the basis of that I am listening now, and must say its an eerie experience in the first movement of the Symphony No.3 Quarter Note = 138-152. Definitely not for the weak hearted, which I am not, so no irritation in that quarter ;D
Will take me some time to get used too, but in the end I will get there, if I brace myself accordingly. And a fair warning to all before you start with this music, he  employs progressive elements such as twelve-tone technique and aleatorics. Just sayin.
SOTA sound.

Yes indeedy. So far in that series only the Wizlav von Rügen has really inspired me to listen again.

I will go through whole series on Tacet, and some loose threads on other labels. Looks to me an interesting journey, but the experts in this field of music, on GMG, probably know better what to listen to and what not, as poor uneducated me ;D  ;D

Dolcissima et Amorosa.
The Lute, Music of ll Divino Francesco Canova da Milano.
Volume I.
Recorded in 2014, I guess.
See back cover for details of works.
No PDF file with details.



Well, this is absolute delightful. Perfectly played and recorded. A pity that only 2 volumes of three are on Qobuz. Same label, but probably not their while to offer it to streamers globally. Grumpff.
