Strangely, on a covered table outside a closed shop - "please drop money through letter box in envelope provided." So I did. :)
Includes the wonderful Arpeggione Sonata - here transcribed for flute. It takes a few seconds to adjust to the sound of the flute in this music (usually played on cello or viola, with piano) but after that the superb musicianship comes through. A wonderful disc! :thumbsup:
Henry Purcell - Hail! Bright Cecelia: Ode for St Cecelia's Day 1692

On Virgin Classics 1999 (originally an EMI recording from the 1980s)
Not my absolute favourite recording of this work, but it has its moments!

Well I really like the Swiss Radio Choir version:
Ode for St. Cecelia's day 1692
Coro Della Radio Svizzera, Ensemble Veritas & Theatrum Instrumentorum, directed by Diego Fasolis
It is on Arts Music 47375-2
The music really flows along in this recording, and I just love the drive behind their version of "Wonderous Machine" it's so powerful, and it's hard to believe that it was written in the late seventeenth century.
For a more purist version, you could also try the Alfred Deller/Sir Michael Tippett recording from 1956, I have that one too and it's pretty good. There was a recent Radio 3 programme on the various recorded versions of the Ode to St Cecilia. I think they went for the Taverner/Parrott version as their favourite, but each to their own!
Lol - I suspect we’re likely to bump into each other again at some point, as that’s also one of our haunts (all around that area, really) :eyebrows:Quote:
