What are you listening 2 now?

[Mister Sharpe]

Some of the finest singing of Hahn mélodies I know are courtesy of this Canadian tenor, Jean-Paul Jeanotte, who died just four years ago at the grievously young age of 95.   We have only a half dozen of them from him, but they're all hits: D'une Prison, L'Heure Exquise, Quand Je Fus Pris Au Pavillon, Offrande, Le Rossignol Des Lilas, Infidélité

Mendelssohn: The String Quintets
Doric String Quartet & Timothy Ridout

Been listening to rock and metal all day. I need some beautiful music.

[Number Six]

The first and second were my introduction to classical music. If I didn't love them, I wouldn't be here today.

I like what we're saying.

[Number Six]

Oh dear...
1 and 2 are understandable. But 4, 7, and 8 are his best symphonies.
[That doesn't mean 3 is not a great symphony. It means those three are even greater.]

Well, I loved No. 4, and I have yet to visit the others. I will check them out soon.

[Number Six]

I have loved 8 since I first heard it, as a "filler" on this LP.



Symphonies 2 and 4 only became beloved after I heard them on PI, Immerseel.

Good suggestions. I am on it.

I couldn't find the recording on Accord of Morales' Missa Mille Regretz that AnotherSpin posted the other day.
But... I did find a brand-new Spanish recording:



My go-to recording till now was the one by the Hilliard Ensemble (Almaviva), which is excellent. That recording is a cappella, this has instrumental accompaniment (by just the organ, if my ears do not deceive me) and fortunately very subtly done. Performances are absolutely beautiful and the programming is excellent - with the signatory song by Desprez as starter, two instrumental arrangements of the song as bonus and the Missa Aspice Domine and original motet by Gombert as pairing.

I'm quite enthused.

Roland de Lassus - Pierre Certon: Chansons gaillardes et bachiques du XVIe siècle

Camerata Vocale de Genève & Edouard Garo

[Madiel]

Final quarter of this one, with RV 156 (G minor), RV 158 (A major) and RV 123 (D major).



Each one different. RV 158 is interesting in that the 'slow' movement is quite fast, not at all typical.

Volume 3 of the concertos for strings is one in a clump of volumes that seem stuck at Customs clearance in Sydney.  Volume 2 is one of the volumes that is going to be trickier or more expensive to acquire.

Ah well. There's still another... 16 volumes in the house I haven't heard yet, and 2 that I'm halfway through.
