Susie Napper viola da gamba
Bernard Prunier, Paris 1982



"Susie Napper and Margaret Little have been thrilling audiences with their performances of exotic masterpieces of the 17th and 18th centuries for the past twenty years. Les Voix Humaines are renowned for their spectacular arrangements of a wide variety of music for two viols and their brilliant performances of contemporary music commissioned by the duo. Their Montreal concert season offers a unique opportunity for an international array of instrumentalists and singers to explore unusual repertoire that includes virtuoso viols. The duo is regularly joined by some of Montreal’s finest young gambists to form the Voix Humaines Consort specializing in the vast 17th-century repertoire for viol consort."

Hi Haim, and thanks for the recommendations. I ordered Jaded Angels, and will certainly get Pasodoble sometime, having borrowed it from the library a few weeks ago. Who is "Between the Times" by? Google is drawing a blank.

Cheers

Nigel,

Here it is:

Great music of soprano sax, alto flute (Knut Rossler), baroque lute, synthsizer (Johannes Vogt) & double bass (Miroslav Vitous).

Haim

Looks good - many thanks. Now playing:



New to me, and very good.

Was -portishead - third on LP,

Now Yoav - Charmed and strange on CD.

The latter is much better than the former IMV....

Counting Crows
"Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings"

Bach's Chaccone played by the great violoinist Adolph Busch. Like a forced of nature. Natural, but also full of human warmth. Not romantic, but not hard and cold. More than anything else, consoling!

George

Moby's new release.

Fair.

Steve Hackett. 70s, 80s, 90s live boxset.
Have listened through most of this boxset this weekend, and have not been impressed.
The Reading 1981 performance is better than anything on this.
I also dug out 'Wind and Wuthering' to hear the original version of 'In That Quiet Earth' after hearing the 1990s live version by Hackett.

Some of today's music all on the silver discs for a change!

Encore!

It's been a Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart day:

Beethoven 1,2,4 and 7 from Klemperer, live in the Royal Festival Hall [1957-63], and Mozart Haffner, Linzer, and Prague, from Klemperer in the EMI Studio [all with the Philharmonia] and A Busch, the violinist, in Bach's Chaconne, and now Beethoven's First Piano Concerto.

Tired now. George

la Belle homocide-Rolf Lislevand, baroque lute

On ECM - Rolf Lislevand. Very beautiful CD.

Two slow numbers.
