Album of the Evening

[Musicophile]

Regardless of our differing POV on other things, this is ultimately a music site and just want to thank you for turning me on to some great music. As I have said before, I am no aficionado on classical music and find your recommendations superb and one of the highlights of this forum. Loved this one and have already listened to it three times.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks! And hey, if there's one thing I've learned in politics, there is always something to take away from people who disagree with you!

Feel free to put me on your ignore list!

 

Musicophile, I will place you on my group of "friends".

 

Thanks to all those who share their love of music in all it's variety.

There are many similar forums but none is more valuable to me than this one.

Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474):

Music for St James the Greater

The Binchois Consort, Andrew Kirkman

 

Early Dufay composition on the cusp of medieval and renaissance periods, and sounds like it. Earliest example of "fauxbourdon": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauxbourdon Unusual.

A perfect night in with Laura's vocals.

AC/DC, Back in Black. Such a great rock album: my first intention when I put this on was to listen to the title track once, and I ended up listening to the whole album twice in a row.

Followed by Beethoven's Missa Solemnis by Harnoncourt in high-res from Qobuz. A very good interpretation: it takes second place in my personal ranking, below Klemperer but above Karajan. Sound quality is good: very natural, but not spectacular.

Agreed...Nice!

Joyce Moreno - Raiz

 

Can't understand a word but can't stop listening either!

Elegant exploration of classic Bossa Nova and Samba tunes.

 

 

Review: Raiz - Joyce Moreno | Songs, Reviews, Credits | AllMusic

[Boris75]

Beethoven: Eroica, by Reiner conducting the CSO, 24/96 rip of a mono vinyl in the collection of the National French Library, for €1.69 from Qobuz. Outstanding interpretation and, except for three minutes in the fourth movement, good sound quality.

Lake Street Dive.

Best female vocalist around and an amazing live act. Unfortunately their studio albums, while good, don't do this band justice. I could spend hours with them on YouTube though.

Here is one of those ten albums that I personally will bring to "the desert island". I never get tired to listen to her music!

Brian Bromberg - Wood.

One of the best recordings I know, were it for capturing the bass well.

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Thank you! Listening to "Wood" now; what a wonderful record

Johannes Ockeghem: Missa De plus en plus; Missa Fors seulement

Schola Discantus

 

 

Johannes Ockeghem: Missa De plus en plus & Missa Au travail suis

Tallis Scholars

 

 

Fo the Missa De Plus en plus, Tallis recording has a bit more clarity, Discantus has more warmth and depth. I was more drawn into the Schola Discantus recording. The Clerks' Group and The Orlando consort have also recorded this Mass. My preference is for the 2 above.

[mordante]

By far the best rendition of Mozart Requiem.

 

[Guidof]

 

Bach: Toccatas. Beautifully played by Amandine Savary.

 

Excellent sound from a 24/96 Qobuz download.

[Musicophile]

Nelsons and the BSO with their latest Shostakovich release (redbook stream from Qobuz).

 

 

Surprisingly well recorded for DG standards.
