My morning listening is an old favourite, one of the very first Early Music discs I bought!
This was back in the day when that was the only way to listen to a recording... I can conform this is now available streaming. :)



Motets for three or four voices from the songbooks of the Dukes of Lorraine. And (a rarity) a mass by Pierquin de Thérache. Some composers from the region mixed in with bigger names: Loyset Compère, Alexander Agricola, Jacob Obrecht, Josquin Desprez, Mathieu Lasson.

Akira Tachikawa (countertenor); Gerd Türk (tenor); Dominique Vellard (tenor); Jacques Bona (bass).

Lamentations by Agricola, Morales, Arcadelt & Lassus.

Osho: Life is like a nightmare: if you are suffering in a nightmare, all that you need is to put your total energy into waking up. Nothing else is needed. If you are being chased by a lion, you need not kill the lion because there is no lion at all. If you are being crushed under a rock, you need not remove the rock. It may be just your own pillow. All that you need is to wake up.

That's a beauty! Even if I'd wish they had recorded the complete Lassus set, but we can't complain.

PS I read there was a big attack on Odesa yesterday. Hope you and your loved ones are OK.

Yes, that's right. Almost the entire city and many districts in the region are without electricity. Heating and water have gradually started to return after a full day without them. Our house in the village is currently without power, and restoration is promised by the end of the 16th. But overall, we're okay, thank you. :)

Bookmarked, and two others from this ensemble. Love the Artwork by the way!
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.
