Kevin 36 Posted March 24, 2008 We have been having the Easter music session. Tenebrae Responsoria from Victoria (Tallis Scholars Gimell) and Gesauldo (Hilliard Ensemble ECM). Allegri Miserere Tallis Scholars again and Kings College in 1963 Decca recording with Roy Goodman singing the solo role as a young boy apparently with dirty knees from the afternoon footy match. Pergolesi Stabat Mater and the Palestrina Stabat Mater. McMillan Seven Last Words - have to be in the right mood but also Seven Last Words from Haydn with the Lindsey Quartet - beautiful. I agree about a separate thread as classical does not seem to be a big interest. Good to see Hyperion releasing music again as they went through a financially ordinary time after a law suit - can't remember the details. Is Tony Faulkner the engineer Keith as I find if he has been involved that it is a near certainty the recording will be good. I don't share your big interest in lieder but will look for one of these recordings. Kevin 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catostylus 648 Posted March 24, 2008 Firstly, thanks for starting this thread, I was beginning to despair of a place to discuss fine music in this forum. Secondly, the comments regarding Tony Faulkner are spot on. I would vote for a recording of the Prokofiev Alexander Nevsky film score engineered by him I once borrowed as probably the best RBCD I have heard. Oh yes. The engineer is well worth noting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith_W 1,248 Posted March 24, 2008 Catostylus are you talking about the Temirkanov / St Petersburg SO recording? This one: I have 3 Alexander Nevsky's and none of them are recorded by Tony Faulkner. I just looked. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wixy 17 Posted March 24, 2008 Keith, i'm interested to know where you order the Hyperion discs from? Also intested to know of any other recommended classical rbcd's that offer excellent sonics. Wouldn't mind purchasing a few to give classical music a try. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catostylus 648 Posted March 24, 2008 Catostylus are you talking about the Temirkanov / St Petersburg SO recording? This one: I have 3 Alexander Nevsky's and none of them are recorded by Tony Faulkner. I just looked. The cover is different, but yes, it may be that one. Mind you, I could be talking through my hat, 'twas many a moon ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catostylus 648 Posted March 24, 2008 Catostylus I will try to acquire one of those and i'll let you know what I think Although ... I do already have 3 Alexander Nevsky's ... a 4th won't hurt The recordings you have are most likely the Alexander Nevsky Cantata which Prokofiev arranged from the film score. This recording is the complete film score. It may be worth getting for that reason alone. Oh..and is that Kate Royal in the Schumann album cover photo? I think I'm in love....... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
