Welcome back Miloš!

In honor of your return:



Thank you, Bill! I'm honored, but please don't let yourself be associated with those fraudulent goods just because of me, too big a risk. Nuevohombre might come knocking $:) ;D

Rach 2, Kocsis/de Waart/SFS -- a fairy-tale fantasy of beauty and passion, an island of loveliness in an increasingly savage sea of insanity.

The Zander/Philharmonia Bruckner 5 on Telarc (CD layer only).  This comes with a nearly 80 minute talk on the symphony, which is excellent (Hurwitz, in his petty review, latches on to Zander's usage of a cathedral analogy, but that analogy is not really labored upon in the talk.)  However, I find Telarc's sound disappointingly surfacy, and the strings sound anemic.  Of the swifter recordings of this work, I like the Rögner on Berlin Classics.(68:26 to Zander's 68:58).

After trying to connect with the Zander recording, I put on the Kempe recording on lowly Odyssey vinyl.  Much more enjoyable as a recording and performance.

Chiara Margarita Cozzolani: Motets

To quote an Amazon reviewer, "All five singers have excellent control of their period-informed ornamentation -- turns, appogiature, and goat-trills."  There you've got it and very nice too.

Thomas Tallis (c. 1505-1585) - Complete Works; along w/ William Byrd, the two most important composers of Tudor England during the 16th century, esp. the reigns of Henry VIII & Elizabeth I - only had a handful of discs by this esteemed composer, so the Brilliant offering of 10 CDs was compelling and highly recommended on this forum!  :)

So, just getting started tonight; the last CD is a CD-ROM w/ a PDF file of the liner notes (no booklet is enclosed) - these notes are 75 single-spaced pages w/ texts & translations - I printed all out today in my office and plan to read along w/ my listenings - will take a while! -  :) :D

Bill,  I will not be surprised if your recording is already included in this 18-CD set I bought back in January.  Erato probably licensed the recording to Musical Heritage Society, of which I was a member many moons ago ...

Well Stuart, I am enjoying it....a lot.  So an 18 cd set may be in the works.  Thanks for the tip.

Go for it.  This is a pretty comprehensive set.  I also have another 18-LP set by I Musici I bought some 20 years ago ...
