*Beethoven: Messe in C *
Beethoven was originally chastised by Prince Esterházy when this work premiered as "not one of your finest composition, Herr Beethoven." Thankfully, that dismissal did not bury this fine work, and if Prince Esterházy had heard this recording, I'm sure his opinion would have been quite different. Gardiner's approach to this piece is refreshing with lively tempi, exquisite phrasing, vitality, and gives the mass an emotional center. The Monteverdi Choir also gives a fine performance, with careful attention to classical-style. Also, few choirs/choruses can match Moneverdi's tuning. The soloists, too, give good performances. If you've ever wondered why some people love this work, you'll understand after you give this recording a listen. If you listen closely enough, you'll hear overtures to the mass Beethoven would write later in life, Missa Solemnis. *John Eliot Gardiner* is one of the leading conductors in the active "authentic performances" movement in England, performing Baroque music but also extending his range into later repertoire. He first conducted at the age of 15, and after finishing school he studied at King's College, Cambridge. While still an undergraduate, he conducted the combined Oxford and Cambridge Singers on a 1964 tour of the Middle East and founded the Monteverdi Choir, which has consistently performed on his recordings since. After graduation, he went to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger and then studied as a postgraduate at King's College, London, with early music leader Thurston Dart. His first notable engagement as a conductor was at a Promenade Concert in London in 1969 and he first conducted an opera in London (Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride) at Covent Garden in 1973. He had continued conducting the Monteverdi Choir, then founded the English Baroque Soloists, specializing in Baroque music played on original-style instruments. The EBS first appeared at the 1977 Innsbruck Festival of Early Music and has appeared with the Monteverdi Choir on many recordings. He made his American debut in 1979 leading the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, part of an active and often overlooked aspect of his career: conducting standard repertoire on modern instruments. This included a period as principal conductor (1980-1983) of the CBC Vancouver Symphony Orchestra; music director of the Opera de Lyon (1983-1988), which included founding an entirely new orchestra; and principal conductor of the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra in Hamburg (1991-1994). He expanded his activities in the original-style instruments movement by recognizing that from the Classical era and well into the Romantic age there were distinctly different instrument designs than those that are standard today. As a result, he founded another new orchestra, the Orchéstre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, to specialize in that period with authentic instruments. He has also been an active guest conductor, leading major orchestras of the world, including the Cleveland, Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw, Vienna Philharmonic, and Philharmonia orchestras, and has conducted the Puccini opera Manon Lescaut at Glyndebourne. He led a cycle of all seven mature Mozart operas and has conducted over 250 recordings on Deutsche Grammophon and Erato labels. He and Herbert von Karajan share the record for the most Gramophone Awards in a single year (three), while Gardiner has won more of them over the years than any other artist. ~ Joseph Stevenson, All Music Guide TRACK LISTINGS [01] - Gardiner - Opus 065 - Ah! perfido' - 'Per pieta' [02] - Gardiner - Opus 112 Meeresstille und gluckliche Fahrt [03] - Gardiner - Opus 086 - Mass in C - 1 Mov - Kyrie [04] - Gardiner - Opus 086 - Mass in C - 2 Mov - Gloria [05] - Gardiner - Opus 086 - Mass in C - 3 Mov - Credo [06] - Gardiner - Opus 086 - Mass in C - 4 Mov - Sanctus - Benedictus [07] - Gardiner - Opus 086 - Mass in C - 5 Mov - Agnus Dei FLAC tracks (EAC Rip): 250 MB | MP3 - 320 kbs: 140 MB | Covers Archives have 5% of the information for restoration FLAC Part 1 <http://www.flameupload.com/files/1OXL3KAC/BeethMEIC.part1.rar> | Part 2 <http://www.flameupload.com/files/TTYPJDSP/BeethMEIC.part2.rar> | Part 3<http://www.flameupload.com/files/0SBI4WGS/BeethMEIC.part3.rar> OR MP3 320 kbps Part 1 <http://www.flameupload.com/files/1B1SCDRN/BeethMEICMP.part1.rar> | Part 2 <http://www.flameupload.com/files/1KGATWFG/BeethMEICMP.part2.rar> ** *Tchaikovsky: Symphony No 6, The Storm / Rozhdestvensky* "Sense of spontaneity is most compelling." -- Penguin Guide "As I have often felt with Rozhdestvensky's recordings, their warm, easy spontaneity...suggests sessions where the aim was to communicate immediately and warmly in a near equivalent to live performance...in the Pathetique, it remains an attractive reading, well-recorded, and the coupling of Tchaikovsky's very early symphonic poem, The Storm, is both generous and attractive." -- Gramophone TRACK LISTINGS [01] - London SO,Rozhdestvensky - Sym No. 6 - I.

Drawing from John Zorn's Masada songbook are the Masada String Trio and the Bar Kokhba Sextet. Each ensemble fills one CD with beautiful chamber jazz woven around a heart of Jewish melodies. Zorn skeptics will find the superb and elegant music on The Circle Maker surprisingly stable and accessible. This is a fitting successor to the other Masada works that Zorn doesn't actually perform on -- the first Masada chamber project, Bar Kokhba, and Film Works, Vol. 8, whose recording session wrapped up weeks before this weekend date of December 1997. Issachar is the name of the disc on which bassist Greg Cohen, cellist Erik Friedlander, and violinist Mark Feldman perform. Zevulun features the Bar Kokhba Sextet: the Masada String Trio plus drummer Joey Baron, percussionist Cyro Baptista, and guitarist Marc Ribot. All of these musicians are accomplished in jazz and improvised music, and have performed extensively in world and/or classical settings as well. The Circle Maker is a very necessary recording for all appreciators of chamber jazz, new Jewish music, or any of these stellar musicians. ~ Joslyn Layne, All Music Guide TRACK LISTING: 1.
