Not sure how many meetingers know and like Henze's music. I bought this CD years ago for a friend and made a copy for myself. I tried to search online but apparently couldn't find it, so I figured why not share it anyway.

Sacred Music sung by Dean Close School Chapel Choir. Choirmaster Peter Cairns and with Colin Sherratt- organ.

Priory PRCD476 (recorded June 1993; CD not commercially released)

(flacs and scans)

Recording venue: Tewkesbury Abbey
Recording engineer and Producer: Neil Collier

Here's a rare recording which was produced by Priory for one of England's leading Public Schools, Dean Close at Cheltenham. At the time, the school had one of the country's finest school choirs.

The musical selection, sung during the Lent Term, seems appropriate to this season and the chapel choir explores a wide range of sacred music styles from early plainsong to Victorian hymns and contemporary settings. Whilst there is no HIP influence, the early music is performed stylishly with fine voices. However, the 'Hallelujah' chorus does suffer with just an organ accompaniment.

Of particular note is one of the very few recordings of the Tallis hymn 'When Rising from the Bed of Death' which uses one of the tunes from Archbishop Parker's Psalter and which forms the basis of Vaughan Williams'Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis.

Appendix: Please note that tracks 14 - 16 are mislabeled on the tray inlay card. They are correct in the booklet and the above listing.

Some of the finest hours of the Italian melodramma are to be found in this post dedicated to the generation of the 1860s. This consistent group of composers managed to create a wholly new style by evolving from Verdi's cumbersome yet inspiring heritage and in the meantime by fetching musical inputs from the sublime musical efforts of Wagner and from those of their own contemporaries, mainly Strauss, the French School and eventually Debussy and Ravel.

The results were often outstanding, with the towering figure of Puccini surrounded by somewhat less charismatic and prolific personalities, yet very distinguished musicians like the many here presented.

The Maestro from Lucca takes center stage, of course, and his many masterpieces like La Bohème, Tosca, Turandot or Il Trittico are popular milestones, combining a very distinctive melodic flair with outstanding musical and orchestrating skills. In all fairness, I've always believed that the true Puccini mostly lies in his early capolavori (Manon Lescaut, La Bohème and Tosca), after which, the Tuscan genius began to give in to his restless musical curiosity by borrowing more heavily from Strauss (Turandot's sublime 2nd Act outburst "Mai nessun m'avrà" or the quite similar sounding "E anche tu lo vorrai, Joe" in Fanciulla's finale are but a few examples) or Ravel (Suor Angelica, the beginning of Fanciulla's 2nd Act and the Ministers' gently rocking themes in Turandot's 2nd Act).

The rest is a series of extraordinary masterpieces the likes of Mascagni's Cavalleria (its famous Intermezzo sounds in every Italian's heart - mine included - like a most touching instrumental unofficial National anthem), and of course Leoncavallo's moving masterpiece: Pagliacci.
And more - Montemezzi's outright Wagnerian effort, the wonderful L'Amore dei tre re (something like a Tristan in "salsa veronese"), Zandonai's sultry debussyanism (the magnificent Paolo/Francesca duet from Francesca da Rimini's 3rd Act), Wolf-Ferrari's unique and elegant comedy, Giordano's noble and powerful portrait of the French Revolution, and Cilea's sophisticated Adriana Lecouvreur, a gem of an opera in which the Calabrian composer showcases his most sublime melodies, along with one of the greatest scenes of the whole Verista repertoire, the Adriana/Principessa de Bouillon duet in the 2nd Act, in many ways a perfect synthesis between a late Verdi style and Puccini's hair-raising Angelica/Zia Principessa duet...
