Enjoyed Andrew McG's survey of Bach recordings yesterday, but in particular, was bowled over by the extract from the new recording on Alpha by 'Pygmalion' of two Missae Breves by JS Bach. What a piece that Gloria is! Those funky trumpets! An instant and addictive favourite.
As I am in post-Christmas 'limit the number of CDs bought' mode, I was delighted to find that for 79p I can download that movement on its own - pending further more costly investigation of this CD (and its predecessor with two other similar pieces). What else can you buy for 79p these days, let alone a fantastic piece, brilliantly performed, like this?! The 21st century is very good news sometimes...
It was the Gloria of the Missa Brevis in F, track 2 on the disc:
Go on... throw caution to the winds... splash out 79p... You won't regret it!
