5.0 out of 5 stars Baroque voices - golden harmony, August 6, 2008

By 

Moonfish (Santa Cruz, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Durante: Magnificat In B/D'Astorga: Stabat Mater/Pergelesi: Confitebor Tibi Domine (Audio CD)

Glorious vocal harmony in work by Durante, D'Astorga and Pergolesi. It was the first time I encountered these works. In addition, I was only familiar with Pergolesi from his Stabat Mater. The music and Ann Monoylos's clear soprano carries the joy of the Balthasar Neumann Choir in these passages. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts the Freiburger Barockorchester. The disc lasts 59 min. It is well recorded with a warm and immediate sound. I very much recommend it if your interest rests in vocal baroque music and choral singing overall. It is one out of 50 discs in the splendid collection of Baroque music from the Deutsche Harmonia Mundi label. Deutsche Harmonia Mundi: 50 Years (1958-2008) Don't miss that one! It is splendid and fulll of gems such as this one.

This review is from: Durante: Magnificat In B/D'Astorga: Stabat Mater/Pergelesi: Confitebor Tibi Domine (Audio CD)

The Pergolesi is fabulous - I sang in a performance of it last term, and then heard this recording on Rob Cowan's programme on BBC Radio 3 one morning. This CD is deleted in the UK, so having spent 2 whole evenings searching for a secondhand copy for less than £40 (I couldn't even get hold of a download), I was delighted to find I could buy it new and at a fairly reasonable price from Amazon in the States. It arrived very quickly - excellent service. I haven't really got into the other two works yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars hard to find, but the way to get it is..., December 13, 2010

This review is from: Durante: Magnificat In B/D'Astorga: Stabat Mater/Pergelesi: Confitebor Tibi Domine (Audio CD)

To my ears at least, this is a wonderful recording of wonderful music, but I see that it is not easy to get ahold of anymore, and still rather dearly priced. If you're considering shelling out for this, you might consider the DHM 50th anniversary box set, which includes this recording - Deutsche Harmonia Mundi 50th Anniversary Box.

Good luck!
