[Willoughby earl of Itacarius]

Second run through of his fine set. CD I.

Codex Huelgas.
Music from 13th Century Spain of the Codex Las Huelgas. ( early 14th century)

[Willoughby earl of Itacarius]

This is really a excellent issue from Brilliant. A hit in the rose so to say. Really beautiful concerti, performed by musicians that clearly love Friedemann's compositions. Sound is good too. The Harpsichords used are by Keith Hill, copies of German and Flemish instruments. but no more details. Anyway Hill's instruments always sound good. I am a great admirer of his art.

CDI

Concerto in F minor, c. 1767, in F major 1740-1745, in E minor c. 1767.

Is that the Mass with the all-winds accompaniment?

I'm not sure Karl - I had'nt noticed before as I concentrate mainly on the Choir. I will have to re-listen now to find out!

It's a Mozart morning for me (and Mutter and Muti and Marriner)...

Peaceful, tender and profoundly moving music, one of the most beautiful CDs ever made.

I have these performances in a different guise, and know them to be quite satisfying.

CD 1

Question: Whom does Joaquin Rodrigo's piano music sound more like, Albeniz or Granados?
Answer: Ravel.

Delicate poetry, melancholy evocations, Andalusian allegria de vivir and Castillian austerity, mournful hommages to Paul Dukas and Ricardo Vines - punctuated by unexpected dissonances: all these and more in the surprisingly not-quite-folkloric but ravishingly beautiful piano works of Rodrigo. A magical soundworld that will make one daydreaming from the first to the last bars.

The sonics are excellent. I'm very happy with the impulse buying of this 3-cd box.
