Hello John - I questioned that myself since Louis H. Grimshaw was the son of the other painter, and the dates given previously for the 'son' are correct, so I would think that post-Victorian would still be a proper description of the period of his painting activity.

Now, in re-checking the back of that Onslow CD, the painting is listed as being by Louis H. Grimshaw; I tried to 'google' both father and son to see if I could find an identical work to attribute to one or the other of these painters before responding, but was not successful - may try again.

Of course, CPO may be 'incorrect' in their attribution - I've found plenty of mistakes w/ their notes over the years (e.g. composer's dates) in collecting their CDs - but, if you can sort this particular painting out and provide a link, then all would be appreciative.  Dave  

I checked Naxos' homepage, it is John who did the RVW one (which he refers to), so it was my mistake.

IMO, you listen to too much piano in these pieces for a "primarily baroque guy", Coop.      

But a lot of the pieces are piano music composed by baroque composers ...

Paisible, Jacques (c. 1656-1721) - Six Setss of Aires w/ Musica Barocca - the French born composer moved to London in 1673 and remained there the rest of his life; he was considered a superb recorder player; these works are basically 'French Suites' of dance themes w/ Italian influence, popular in England at the time.  The performances include the use of two recorders and continuo (theobro, viola da gamba, & harpsichord) - the music is delighful, uncomplicated, and performed/recorded well - if you like this Baroque style and recorders, then a suggested puchase @ the Naxos price!  For a few reviews, check the group's Website HERE - 


 

Jacques Paisible seems to be a very interesting composer who is worth checking out ...

  I went digging through my ~750 CD collection this morning looking for recordings I have not heard in the longest time and found this, the last time I played this was in 2007  :

 

  I can not believe that I have neglected this boxset for so long 

  PS: I am still unsure why Gardiner is wearing black, are we at a funeral here??

 

John Eliot Gardiner is now the undisputed high priest for HIP ...

Now playing Goldberg Variations by Christiane Jaccottet on the harpsichord, disc 21 from this set for the first time.  This is baroque ...

Hi Ray - I've owned that Taneyev MDG disc for a while, and gave it a spin after the first post appeared - delighful late Romantic string works played beautifully and with excellent sound - checkout the MusicWeb Review HERE reprinted from Arkiv Music - 10/10 rating.

Now after listening to this recording, I decided to check in at Amazon to see 'what' might be newly released; apparently, Hyperion has released a recent recording (late 2008) of these same works w/ the Leopold String Trio - excellent Fanfare Review HERE, reprinted again on the Arkiv site.  So, now a couple of good choices!  Dave
