What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[jlaurson]

I'm listening to the music of one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Ludwig Senfl. This disv seems the current safest bet for a well recorded and performed overview of his best work (but he really deserves a far wider representation on disc than he currently has):

It's a pretty good disc, I agree... but if it had been my first Senfl, I might not have continued looking for more... especially because of the inclusion of the non-secular stuff...

THIS disc, however... Best Senfl disc I know of:


L. Senfl
Missa L'homme Arme
Suspicious Cheese Lords [sic!]

[The new erato]

It's been on my wish list for a year, but as the label don't seem to have European distribution, it will have to be bought on one of my very rare forays into US webshops.....

Whoa, winner of the "best group name of the month."  Have you heard these guys live?  Browsed their site a little bit--they look terrific--and chuckled at the etymology behind their name.

Yes, heard them live twice. Very, very impressive. For any acapella group, never mind amateurs! Three wonderful discs; the Senfl being world class awesome, the Elzear Genet I liked a little less, the Jean Mouton ("Vivat Rex!") is almost as good as the Senfl again. They dig out all new, never-before recorded works in their close collaboration with the Library of Congress, which is another reason they're exciting to watch/hear/follow.

Don't have anything by Cheesy Lord's Suspicion. But will look into Senfl later, I am sure.

For now, listening to: Rubbra Symphonies #3 and 7 (Hickox, CHANDOS)

Fantastic.  I'll probably pick up the Senfl and perhaps the others very soon, since I'm a huge fan of choral rep like this.  Thanks!

Bought! - from cduniverse at 17$. The fact that I could add the new cpo Henk Badings disc at 12$ (£10 in the UK) almost made the 8,50$ postage worth it....

I'd have been listening to the crickets last night, had it not been for the emergency generators running at various locations in my neighborhood.

The more I listen to it, the more I fall in love with it. apart from the gorgeous music, its so well played. The joy burst out of her fingers every time she strokes the keys. The lucidity she brings in these works is amazing, every note gets meaning. She plays on a Keith Hill, Harpsichord that is build in 1998, that sounds wonderful. Considering the price for two CD'S, 7,99 euro's its a bargain as there ever was.

It might have been a performance of some work by Cornelius Cardew.

Perhaps he was even performing it himself! Does he live around here?
