I bought this set after a recommendation in this thread. I found it a great box. Then, I gifted it to a friend who came to our house and liked it a lot. I missed it immediately and bought it again.... to give it to Julian and Lane when we visited them. Since then, I've been streaming it. Very often, it's playing in the practice.

I am letting Roon "curate" and "serenade" me today. For the last few hours it has been dishing out some seriously gorgeous music by the orchestra that connects deeply with me with its Baroque period instruments playing Baroque period music. Most enjoyable.

Bach - Telemann - Buxtehude - Stille Klagen: Remorse and Redemption in German Baroque
Il Gardellino Griet De Geyter Qobuz 24/96 High quality album, as usual with this ensemble. We see them live almost every year. I wonder when this will be possible again... Deep remorse and the longing for divine redemption are two of the central topics in the cantatas of Northern German Baroque composers. Griet De Geyter and Il Gardellino have selected three exemplary works in this genre by Dieterich Buxtehude, Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach, giving special emphasis to the clearly led voice and striking expressivity of the young Belgian soprano. The emotional climax is Bach’s cantata with obbligato oboe Mein Herz schwimmt im Blut, BWV 199, which is based on Christ’s parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. The programme is complemented by an instrumental sonata by Buxtehude and two organ versions of the chorale Jesu, meine Freude, played by Leo van Doeselaar. © Passacaille

Mark Simpson - Geysir
W.A. Mozart - 'Gran Partita' K.361 Qobuz 24/96 'Geysir', a world premiere recording, is composed by the clarinet player from this ensemble (without a name). Nice piece. The version of Mozart's masterpiece is very enjoyable. What wind instruments and a double bass can give as musical result in this work is every time I hear this a miracle for me. A stunning pairing of Mozart’s glorious "Gran Partita" Serenade with a work written specifically to be performed alongside it, Geysir by the exceptional clarinetist-composer, Mark Simpson. Mark Simpson’s simmering, volcanic Geysir was inspired by the rich opening chord of Mozart’s "Gran Partita", and by its bubbling clarinet writing, which develop into what Simpson describes as a “flurry of colour and harmonic shifts”. As a clarinetist himself, writing Geysir “was an instinctive thing – it never felt like trying to overcome any limitations… I’m very proud of it…”. Mark Simpson, who performs on this release alongside a line-up of other extraordinary musicians including oboist Nicholas Daniel, was the first ever winner of both the BBC Young Musician of the Year and BBC Proms/Guardian Young Composer of the Year competitions in 2006. By 2019 he was composer in residence at the Leicester International Music Festival, and is currently working on a Violin Concerto for Nicola Benedetti and commissions for the LSO, WDR Sinfonieorchester and RSNO. © Orchid Classics
