JANACEK : ORCHESTRAL WORKS Vol 3 \u2013 Glagolitic Mass<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n
BERGEN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA & CHOIRS, Edward Gardner, conductor<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n
CHANDOS CHSA 5165\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 64\u201930<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

This Super audio CD presents Janacek\u2019s ever-pleasing Glagolictic Mass <\/i>alongside less familiar works \u2013Adagio<\/i>, Zdravas Maria<\/i>(Hail Mary) and Otce nas <\/i>(The Lord\u2019s Prayer). This an interesting collection of fine performances. However, I am not sure that all of these pieces should really be categorised as orchestral works.<\/p>\n

DOMENICO SCARLATTI \u2013SONATAS<\/strong><\/span>
\n ANGELA HEWITT, piano<\/strong><\/span>
\n HYPERION CDA 67613\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 76\u201910<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

Audiences are divided as to whether this music should be played on the piano or harpsichord. I personally feel that the music can be enjoyed on either. Angela Hewitt\u2019s first collection of Scarlatti\u2019s sonatas presents a small fraction of the total of his output. An enjoyable disk which makes this 250 year old repertoire come alive once again.<\/p>\n

VINCENZO GALILEI \u2013 The Well-Tempered Lute<\/strong><\/span>
\n ZAK OZMO, Lute<\/strong><\/span>
\n HYPERION CDA 68017\u00a0\u00a0 63\u201903<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

I thoroughly enjoyed this CD. A beautiful recording of music I had never heard before, from the pen of the father of the famous astronomer! This music really deserves to be better known and has an important place in the development of the Western musical tradition. An informative booklet gives good background notes.<\/p>\n

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH \u2013 MASS IN B MINOR<\/strong><\/span>
\n CONCERTO COPENHAGEN & soloists, directed by Lars Ulrik Mortensen<\/strong><\/span>
\n CPO\u00a0 777 851-2\u00a0 (2 CDs\/ SACD) 103\u201935<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

The B minor mass is very familiar territory. This substantial choral work has been recorded on numerous occasions. Here we have a surround sound \/ multi-channel recording on super audio CD. Regardless of the technology the performace is impressive, maintaining a lightness of touch which allows the music to dance, even in the larger scale moments.<\/p>\n
