Spinning Today (Classical version)

[Barry]

Mine is:

Ravel - 'Ma Mère L’Oye (Mother Goose Suite), Le Tombeau de Couperin, Valses nobels et Sentimentales’



L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, cond. Ernest Ansermet

Decca (Ace of Diamonds) SDD374 (1961)

[Shovel_Knight]

I also enjoy Yvonne Lefébure's 1975 recording of Le Thombeau de Couperin. Her rendition is more agile, but Anne Queffélec plays with better articulation, IMO.

If that's anything like Carols from King's on BBC the other day all copies of the album and others like it will be ritually burned in 2021 along with statues of anyone related to the slave trade however remotely.

I have no idea of the racial composition of the Choir of Salisbury Cathedral. Looking at the names of the choristers it is not obvious if any of them are "people of colour" - but I don't buy my records on the basis of the race, colour, gender, or sexual orientation of the performers.


As to the 'Missa Luba', this is part of the Mass (Kyrie, Gloria and Credo) performed in the style of a kasala, a song framework of the Ngandanajika (Kasai) of Congo. The Sanctus and Gloria are fashioned after 'The Song of Farewell' of the Kiluba, and the Agnus Dei is based on a song of the Bena Luba (Luluabourg).

The whole is performed by Les Troubadours du Roi Baudouin, a choir with a percussion section, consisting of about 45 boys from 9 to 14 years old, and 15 teachers from the Kamina School in the Congo.

Perhaps I should destroy this too for the lack of inclusivity: no female performers, no white performers? Or as an exploitative expropriation of African culture?

Did you catch The Proms, Barry? Truly fabulous musical performances, including the 'theme' from Psycho!

Sound quality and arrangements were top notch too, and sounded fabulous through the lounge system!

No I didn't Marco - was it part of this years' Proms? We have watched very little TV over the last couple of weeks.
