Oh yeah!  Those are quickly becoming some of my favourite sacred pieces.  Do you know how Niquet's set compares to Rousset's, Que?  I've seen high praise for the latter.

Niquet compares favorably due to certain existential problems of Rousset's recording.

Now playing this CD, which arrived at least a month ago.  Not sure what to expect yet as this is the first recording by Martin Souter I own ...



The Art Schnitger Organ at the Hervormde Kerk, Noordbroek, Nederlands indeed makes some really beautiful sounds. Q, you can probably relate to that much better than I can ...

;D

I bought a bunch of French baroque works by Niquet on Glossa 2 months ago and the performances were just very refreshing.  I am very glad I paid attention to what Q recommended ...

Your involuntary typing error emphasizes the Schnitger's ARTistry.  ;D

I'm not a huge Brahmsian, though.

Brian,

So you are in the process of writing a review for this work?

Yes sir! Cannot say I am actually in the process of writing the review - will probably write it next week when I have more free time - but that's the ultimate objective.

I'm not aware that Rousset did Rameau motets (or I am mistaken?) (for Rameau we also have Christie or Herreweghe) and assume you were thinking of F. Couperin's motets:


Which is actually also included in this bargain set:


Highly recommended.

I wonder if this CD has been included in this release?



Indeed - same recording. :)

Having a first proper fully-focused listen to this M6 version (now in the 3rd mvt Andante) :



It is like discovering this work for the first time again....so radically different to the other M6 i am used to (Abbado, Mitropoulos, Bertini, Tennstedt...) the brass and percussions are kept well in check in the first 2 movements, offering a totally new experience, with greater clarity and new details to be heard.

Beyond beautiful!  Technical question:  Is the 'Qui tollis' movement in this considered a passacaglia?

Absolutely!  ;) Missed you at the Dopper Requiem premiere at Stadskanaal. We'll report on the event in the concerts thread. Good to see you here!
