Short Movie: “Waldesnacht”
in: A Youtube powered Guide to Classical Music, Klangvölle, PicturesqueKino Dynamique Jena: This time I couldn’t resist doing a movie myself. The result can be seen here, it’s pretty self-explanatory. Waldesnacht (Johannes Brahms) is sung by the King’s Singers – Buy their CD’s! – they are great.
Enjoy!

L’Arpeggiata (Christina Pluhar) & Nuria Rial: Giovanni Felice Sances: Stabat mater
in: A Youtube powered Guide to Classical MusicFor a while now I am caught by the concept of “Historically informed performance“. So I use this change to once more present an amazing example of music out of this “genre”:
Christina Pluhar has become one of the most recognized musicians in this domain. Her ensemble “L’Arpeggiata” already featured a high quality selection of guests like Philippe Jaroussky and many others. From her work with Nuria Rial, a spanish soprano, comes this beautiful and musically astonishing interpretation of Giovanni Felice Sances’ (c. 1600 – 1679) “Stabatar Mater” (Lyrics):
Enjoy!

Pierre Certon: “La, la, la, la, je ne l’ose dire”
in: A Youtube powered Guide to Classical MusicThis tiny bit of music is particularly interesting because of its arrangement – try to follow individual voices – you will see, it’s quite hard
Especially in this amazing interpretation by the King’s Singers.
Download the score la, la, la, la je ne l’ose dire.

Jean-Christophe Spinosi drives me crazy
in: A Youtube powered Guide to Classical MusicA friend of mine introduced me to Spinosi’s interpretation of Vivaldi’s Op. 439 “La notte” – I found it amazing and fresh. Thus I want to share this amazing pice of music with you:
(Unfortunately I could not find the scores for the Vivaldi online beside this one at Google Books which is quite restricted.)
Also check out this Telemann interpretation (TWV 52:e1): which is as impressive as the Vivaldi above.
