Judeo-Baroque, etc.
by Alex
This is me trying to post more often. Or maybe just having more free time to do so.
The SEB and I are on a spree of judeo-baroque listening recently, including Salomone Rossi, Fretwork, Quire of Voyces (look past the spelling to the singing), and Phillippe Jaroussky. This hereby replaces our earlier Ravel/Milhaud/Poulenc Chamber Music mix. I’ve also been revisiting Tsunami.
Jaroussky seems to have set his sites on Vivaldi as Scholl did on Handel.
Some relevant links:
“Ad Vitam Records”:http://www.advitam-records.com/gb/index.php – choral music to unite monotheists
“Brilliant Records”:http://music.brilliantclassics.com/ – like Naxos, but with more hardcore liner notes.
“Jaroussky in the obligatory Nisi Dominus showcase”:http://youtube.com/watch?v=VHJYNYi5N7o — check out how little he moves (physically) as he moves his voice through his crescendos. Damn.
