Blue Heron Scott Metcalfe.
Recorded September, 2009 at the Church of the Redeemer, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

Apart from the fact that it is a bit to closely recorded, and the choir a tad to large, the balance is nevertheless good. But a few to many sopranos produce a lot of sound pressure, and believe it or not but the guys are somewhat lost in it all. Me thinks they are mirroring themselves a bit too much to the English church choirs, who think in sound clusters.

Elisabeth Schwartzkopf: Bach Cantatas

I have listened to this one a few times before. Good stuff. I don't know Bach cantatas. They all sound the same to me.    But I like when she sings them.

Bruckner: Symphony No. 7
Steinberg, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

In understand today is some Bruckner anniversary. (Birthday? Deathday?) I was going to stream a Celibidache 7th, but then I stumbled across this one and decided to give it a go. Starting with the "Overture in G minor".


ETA: I believe it's birthday 200. That's, like, a milestone, or something!

[brewski]

Bruckner: Locus Iste (VOCES8). Though Bruckner's symphonies are incomparable, his choral writing is equally mesmerizing, and this motet is a fine example.

-Bruce

[brewski]

Bruckner: Christus factus est (Kings College Choir / Sir Stephen Cleobury, conductor). Another of the composer's sublime motets. As much as I adore the symphonies, these choral gems are right up there, too.

-Bruce
