Which Gabarek/Hilliard Ensemble Would You Buy?

Posted by: Flettster on 12 October 2010

Hi all, after some great advice from the forum on Arvo Part. I'm now after some guidance as to which of the following should I buy first.

Unfortunately it will have to be one at a time as the SWMBO is on the war path.

1)Officium
2)Mnemosyne
3)Officium Novum

Cheers

I have developed some pretty sophisticated techniques for getting CD's into the house unnoticed over the years (not that I have an issue) Winker Good luck!

They are good and all similar - hard to choose between them. The first Officium was a huge hit for ECM. The second is a double CD and I liked it quite a lot. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

My choice I would buy the new one and work backwards.

The first, freshest, and best: Officium.

Officium I think, it's the one for me.

Thanks Lontano, Graham & James.

I ended up buying Officium. The only reason being, that when I included the vote from the owner of the local CD shop, Officium won 3-1. Will definitely purchase the others in the future.

Lontano, will have to pick your brains about your CD smuggling techniques Smile

Thanks all.
Cheers
