Listening to Fairy Tale now. An exquisite work as was The Ripening.

Marc

Now listening to:

Buxtehude: Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin BuxWV 76.

Version for soprano, bass & organ.
In most cases only played on the organ, which is already a treat.
The contributions of soprano Anna Jobrandt and bass Jan Börjesson are certainly adding to the 'Nunc dimittis' atmosphere.

Tracks can be found on disc 7 of Hans Davidsson's integral of Buxtehude's organ works.



Some info about this interesting project:

There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

Karl Henning

The temptation to go on with Dvořák alone was undeniably powerful!  But now, it's back to:

Nielsen
Commotio (orchestrated by Bo Holten) FS155, Op.58 (1930–1931)
Odense Symphony

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.

Another vote for this disc, I love it!!!
The first half of life is spent in longing for the second, the second half in regretting the first.
