Re:
FACADE:
Recommendations for a recording of Facade please!
In response to this old request, Vandermolen recommended the historic recording with Peter Pears and Edith Sitwell, reissued by Alto. It looks like most if not all of that disc is available as an Eloquence disc; I've no idea how comparable the sound is.
I wonder if there might be any supplemental recommendations in more modern sound, as long the performance is excellent?
I see a Marriner recording is on that EMI 12cd box (which I'm considering), but with the other pieces on that disc, I wonder if that's a truncated version of
Facade? I ran across a recommendation (maybe) of the complete work by the Melalogos Ensemble...I'm curious about that one. I see several others, though it's not always clear if all these are complete versions of the work. Nash Ensemble (Hyperion) is another that seems to bill itself as complete. Any help would be appreciated!
