Contemporary/Classic Masters. CRS Master Recordings CD 9255

Pieces by Elliot Carter, John Russo, Francois Deveinne, Robert Dusek, John Davison, David Hush, & Carl Harrison.

All of the compositions (and all of the composers except Carter, and his piece is an item dating from 1940) are new to me. So far, nothing sucks. But nothing really stands out either.

Rameau -- Pygmalion & Nelee et Myrthis

Les Arts Florissants

81EUy552lkL._SX425_.jpg

A pair of one-act operas, the latter of which may be part of an incomplete larger opera-ballet. Those who decide such things can't quite decide. Either way, lovely, lilting stuff, but I wouldn't say it packs a punch in any way.

With each listen I am amazed at the high quality of her playing and the intelligent program choices. This time I accidentally hit random play and it still sounds convincing, due to the fact that all but two pieces are in the same key, sol majeur/mineur (g major/minor), which she connects with the roi soleil - so as symbolic key for the sun king. She wrote an excellent essay on the subject a while ago. Great sound to, of the "golden" harpsichord at the Swiss museum at Neuchâtel.
