What's playing today ?

I don't like some of Graindelavoix's ornamentation/improvisation in this performance. It just sounds, at least to me, a little bit out of place in this type of music. Still, I do enjoy the performance.

 

Introitus and Sanctus/Benedictus from Lassus' Missa pro defunctis for four voices - Pro Cantione Antiqua

 

Crucifixus from Bach's B Minor Mass

 

Bach's Chaconne - Christoph Poppen + The Hilliard Ensemble from the cd Morimur

I hadn't previously heard the Chaconne done in this way. The combination with the singing sounds pretty incredible.

 

Josquin's Miserere mei Deus - the Hilliard Ensemble

 

Grace - Jeff Buckley. Wow

 

Requiem from Lassus' Missa pro defunctis for five voices sung by Laudantes Consort/Guy Janssens



fugue starts at 8:43

 

Jane's Addiction and a Dutch double CD called De 2 Meter Sessies - kind of Old Grey Whistle Test.

 

BWV 552 fugue played by Bernard Foccroulle

Excellent. I like the lack of ego in his playing. The organ he plays (by Arp Schnitger at the Martinikerk in Groningen, Netherlands) has the needed gravity.

 

Benedictus from Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli sung by Pro Cantione Antiqua

song Drones from Muse album - I enjoy this adaptation of Palestrina

 

Daniel Chorzempa BWV 538

 

Helmuth Rilling's 2000 recording of Crucifixus from Bach's Mass in B minor

youtube Andy Fillebrown Goldberg variation 25

 

Bram Beekman BWV 538
see link in tracklist, last track

 

Amadeus Webersinke BWV 552 - While I thought his playing on BWV 686 sounded too romantic, his BWV 552 seems to be outstanding, straight playing.
