This is such a beautiful album never get tired of hearing it.

 

Thanks, PCD. Following your post, I've just ordered that.  

Please post your thoughts when it turns up.

Thanks

PCD

 

Will do.  I have a small sample of Frances Black on two compilation albums: A Woman's Heart 1 and 2, so I know I like her voice. I strongly suspect I'm going to like her album.

Herbert von Karajan - Beethoven No 3 (Eroica) - CD

Just being blown away by this quite literally as there is so much power in this music. All I did was move the speakers a bit a few days ago. The sound stage is really good and the music fills the room at 8.30 on the volume control. 

I sure there are better versions but so what.

Quite a difference between the early albums and the later more poppy albums...

In the genre an insanely good album...

Switched back to quite different music, a kind of groove album...

Now playing.................

Ketil Bjornstad - A passion for John Donne

Ketil Bjornstad - A passion for John Donne

Ketil Bjørnstad (piano), Håkon Kornstad (tenor saxophone, flute, voice), Birger Mistereggen (percussion) and the Oslo Chamber Choir directed by: Håkon Daniel Nystedt   

Streaming on NAS.........  Perhaps not for everyone, but I enjoy and appreciate his 'Passion' for John Donne's poetry and composing music to support the verse. Wonderful presentation of the poetry wrapped in music and the voice(s) of Håkon and members of the choir are fantastic!

I’m really enjoying this new acquisition. We are seeing the wonderful Alina Ibragimova, with The Chiaroscuro Quarted next week - very exciting.
