[A Lark Ascending]

English pastoral serialism (do I hear a grave turning!). Not so much cows, gates and hills but the dark flickering points in the woods. A very beautiful disc of chamber and vocal music. 

Interesting blog post on Lutyens here:

Franz Schubert - Complete Songs, Vol. 21 / Edith Mathis (sop), Graham Johnson (p) (Hyperion)
Lieder composed by Schubert during the years 1817 and 1818

[A Lark Ascending]

Off Spotify - lots of vocal and consort music but hard to find a record with just the dance music (as heard in the Henry VIII and Elizabeth I BBC series 45 years or so back...the David Munrow recording for the former seems in limbo). Think this must be one of those discs aimed for sale in English Heritage sites. A mix of vocal, instrumental and a bit of the dance stuff.

 

I don't follow celebrity performers except those with a habit of wandering off the beaten path. Barbara Hannigan is consistently interesting in her choices (and her voice sounds pretty good to my untutored ears). Can't judge the piece on one listen but the last movement sounded very beautiful.

Ludwig van Beethoven – Complete Sonatas for Pianoforte and Violoncello — part 2: Op.102 Nos.1 & 2, Op.66: 12 Variation on "Ein Madchen oder Weibchen" from Mozart's Die Zauberflote
— Jos van Immerseel (fortepiano), Anner Bylsma (violoncello) (Vivarte / Sony Classical)
