Yesterday afternoon:
Handel
Dixit Dominus
Laudate Pueri
Choir of King's College Cambridge, Stephen Cleobury
Now:
I heard a voice (Weelkes, Gibbons, Tomkins)
Choir of King's College, Stephen Cleobury, Fretwork
I find that I have very few other Cleobury recordings (an Argo Howells collection, Faure and Duruflé Requiems, a compilation called Credo), with the highlight probably being the compilation of commissions for the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols (On Christmas Day).
It is worth starting a new thread: Stephen Cleobury's recorded legacy?

Stockhausen: Kontakte Nr 12 1/2
Original Tape Mix/George Barton (Percussion)/Siwan Rhys (Piano)
Never heard the work in this guise before - and am much impressed. I'm sure someone has mentioned this new(ish) download on another thread (Bryn?) - anyway, much recommended. Andrew Clements in the Grauniad even made it his release of the week, sometimes the kiss of death but not, I think, in this case.

"Saga" — Ballads by Schumann, Loewe, Jensen Schubert
Konstantin Krimmel (baritone), Doriana Tchakarova (piano)
Alpha Classics release. 2019 recording.
It's been a great pleasure to return to this (it appeared on Qobuz about a month ago). Singer and accompanist work wonderfully well together (indeed, 'accompanist' is a churlish word to use considering the vital role the piano plays in this repertoire). From the piano intro to Carl Loewe's haunting Tom der Reimer which opens the recital, it's proved even more difficult to stop listening this time round. Konstantin Krimmel is blessed with a wonderful baritone voice which he can vary at will to suit the atmosphere of each song, and his diction is superb throughout. Similarly, Doriana Tchakarova effortlessly employs story-telling mode. That opening track is a highlight, but then Loewe's setting of Geothe's Erlkönig is also a bit of a show-stopper, and the three songs by Adolf Jensen totally justify the inclusion of this composer, who was previously unknown to me.

Bruckner 7 Sinopoli / Staatskapelle Dresden.
And I have the “Saga” disc recommended by DublinJimbo above lined up for a listen. What a desperately unimaginative cover the CD has though.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.
