Philippe Herreweghe & La Chapelle Royale - Schutz: Musikalische Exequin

Beautiful vocal music by Heinrich Schutz, composed in 1635. A small ensemble of strings and organ provides a continuo accompaniment. If you like Bach’s cantatas and motets you might also like this one.

Yes I did get it, Ewen. I’m now frantically and unsuccessfully looking through the virtual library to try and recognise the album cover as I’ve totally forgotten the name he used for that album!

Thanks, Debs. If I still had the means to replay vinyl I would have bought it!

After listening to J.J. Cale on his own yesterday, thought I would start today with Cale and Clapton.

Not listened to this group for years, it’s a very pleasant reminder of what great music they made.

That ‘WhatRecords’ price offer is bargain! - even when adding on the postage cost
Tony what number is your copy?

My two copies are numbers 084 / 750 and 200 / 750 ; )

I’m sure it is musically superb regardless of format but the blue coloured vinyl certainly doesn’t distract from it being an essentially good pressing and SQ.
This Miller Anderson album was first mooted on the old naim forum about 5 years ago, a Heads Up from our Dr.Blues [aka Dr. Steve] who doesn’t seem to post anymore. I wish him well in his retirement (?) and wish he’d rejoin this forum - his posts are always well worth the read : )

I remember that well, Debs, and ordered my copy around that time after seeing a post and also some discussion with Graham (Quad33). Here is my copy: :sunglasses:

Well not so much listening but watching. Quite a revealing story. Knowing the life story makes the music more enjoyable and puts many songs in context.

I will be acquiring/watching life stories of other artists whose music I like.

Kim So-Hee ‎– P’ansori, Korea’s Epic Vocal Art & Instrumental Music

If you think the weird American outre-singing that culminates in Bob Dylan is wild try Pansori from Korea, and the instrumental music has hints of delta blues, jazz and Bach cello suites …
