BaL 1.10.16 - Tallis: Spem in alium

[underthecountertenor]

It's fine at home - but obviously not as good as live in a suitable space.

This is as near as I have got to hearing it live, and was an interesting experience. The recording was played on a loop, with a suitable pause between each rendition. It was fascinating to wander round the speakers and hear each part in turn. There was only one place in the room where all the speakers could be heard at equal volume, and this was not in the middle as might be expected.

Already referred to up-thread, and further confirmation that we should have held out for 'repeat fees'!

The installation was frst mentioned in #16 on this thread and in view of the subsequent discussion about whether Tallis should have been credited as artist as well as Janet Cardiff, it's interesting that the blurb here talks of the work being 'shown'.

Apologies - came in late to this discussion...

... I will try to be on time next time!

Happy for it to get the further publicity!

I had The Sixteen's Coro version on yesterday evening. Very much enjoying this but being a fan of this choir, I might be biased but having said that, if they do a dud recording heaven forbid, then I won't bother with it. But, it's not.
