Liturgical music usually sounds so solemn (well, except for.....long list follows) - I love the sheer joy in Monteverdi's approach. Flamboyant and full of dance.

Hans Hotter/Gerald Moore - Great German Songs, Album 2 (Seraphim)
The cover incorrectly states that the composers on this album are Schumann, Wolf, and Loewe. They are actually BRAHMS, Wolf and Loewe. 

From Brahms setting of "Wir wandelten" by Daumer:

So schön war alles, was ich dachte, 
so himmlisch heiter war es all.

From first, Siegfried music making up much of disc 4.

Charlotte Bray: At the Speed of Stillness

Interesting interview in the new BBC Music Magazine with this (relatively) young composer. A Prom premiere coming up - hopefully more music on disc soon.
