Don't know if I've heard Berlioz's Requiem. I'll look for it.
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

Try Jakob Obrecht and Josquin Des prez masses... Super geniuses of the highest order..."Missa super Maria Zart" with Prague madrigalist though is my treasured version because of the rythm...Missa pange lingua but with Ensemble Clement Janequin because of the rythm ...Tallis scholars for example kill it with no rythm so well the sing and they sing well for sure ..
I am in love with Purcell Anthems... But i never retrieved the Wilcocks album i owned long ago and the actual complete Anthems version i own is acceptable but nothing more ... There is too much geniuses in sacred music before Bach for only one thread... it is not well known generally ...In fact most geniuses are not known at all ...Especially the Franco Flamish school...

I've never been to the Met. I pretty much only see what's put on in Los Angeles. The few times I've been to New York, my wife decides on what we see, and it's usually a popular musical. Although, I did see Twyla Tharp at the Kennedy Center in the 70s. My wife was a big fan. They danced to Supertramp and it was a fantastic show. |
@audio-b-dog Twyla and David Byrne collaborated on 'The Catherine Wheel' back in '81...David didn't have much to say about it later...perhaps not a pleasant RT mix, given the personalities involved....but I'm just an 'interested absurder' of such.... This/that was back in '81, so there's a time shift involved that caused who knows what as far as we as listeners are involved.... I like pineapples as a consumable, so my interpretation is loaded.... ;) |
