If i'm correct, Karina Gauvin is coming here to Boston to sing with the H&H... there's one broadcast of Damien Guillon online singing Matthew that i also really like.<br />DTO: i can only speak of St Matthew, but yes, that recording above mentioned with Herreweghe & Andreas Scholl is great. I also really love the dvd version of Ton Koopman which i often link to, in particular the soprano on that recording.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665236978084294968.post-91576730071334939152012-03-27T22:54:21.371-04:002012-03-27T22:54:21.371-04:00I knew I asked the right people.

If one wishes to support the Mezzo side, here's Arkiv's drilldown by performer/ensemble of the 103 (!) recordings they're currently listing:<br /><br />http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Drilldown?name_id1=527&name_role1=1&genre=93&bcorder=19&comp_id=311strayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109343770835869181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665236978084294968.post-26988197776170336562012-03-27T09:19:22.324-04:002012-03-27T09:19:22.324-04:00@DTO Somewhat to my surprise, it looks as though t...@DTO Somewhat to my surprise, it looks as though this was a one-off, although Les Violons have been touring Canada with other programs in recent months. <br /><br />@Stray I hope that impedimenta to road-tripping are not of too serious a nature.<br /><br />Much as I love all the works you mention, DTO, I'm not terribly well-versed in the many (4x) recordings of them. I'd second Stray re: Herreweghe's Matthew. I can't quite decide whether I prefer Herreweghe or Harnoncourt for the Johannespassion. As for the Mass in B Minor, I grew up on the Marriner recording from the 70s, which is grandiose and symphonic, but I'm sentimentally attached to the splendor of its "Sanctus" and "Resurrexit." And it has Janet Baker. Not sure what a more recent recording "of choice" would be.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549302523503271428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665236978084294968.post-35879785275071761582012-03-26T23:46:38.359-04:002012-03-26T23:46:38.359-04:00(writing down...)(writing down...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665236978084294968.post-62913200977178420182012-03-26T13:19:42.983-04:002012-03-26T13:19:42.983-04:00That does sound like quite the dream performance. ...That does sound like quite the dream performance.

Sounds amazing, and what a slate of soloists. <br /><br />And Bach as the Fifth Evangelist, what a perfect notion!<br /><br />What are everybody's favourite Passion recordings? I don't know that rep too well so any guidance welcome. There are many many many many recordings of the Mass in B and of the Matthew and John.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
