What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

You can easily tell that Roland Hanna had the training of classical music. Playing as well as sound are superb.
..the last one for today..
One of my earliest CDs, and still a favorite.

On my 3rd or 4th play of this, over as many days,

Was feeling a bit quercus myself after over-sleeping,
and after getting up late with my head-cold no better for it.
Seems like the perfect time to play this.

The legendary record of Huelgas Ensemble from 2003.
There are 32 variations on Renaissance ostinato theme 'La Spagna'.
Usual choir - only one track; others with outstanding wind instruments; very similar to the cover's picture.
Variations are in contrapunti system but not that boring/artificial/cold way what Bach spread after 200 years.
SACD print -; Naims love the ordinary CD layer a lot.
Highly recommended.
Spin again and again...
Full of spirit; strange harmonies; nice and almost light entrance to Machaut's music.
Artwork is outstanding too.
"....And know that the salamander lives amidst the flames of the fire without pain and with no damage ti its body; due to its nature; itcan even extinguish the fire."
