Conversely, the English Consort, led by Andrew Manze (SACD, Harmonia Mundi HMU 807397), was brilliant, but voices and instruments were disassociated from each other, spread as they were around the room. Cleansed by the SMS-1's EQ, both began to sound as if their respective engineers had earned their pay. The Parrot recording retained its richness, but now it was clear where and how many individual voices were placed around the front of the large, reverberant venue. Manze's musicians gained presence and coalesced into a performing ensemble even as they were arrayed in front, at the side, or behind in a very open space. The warmth and richness of the Parrot performance and the fire and brilliance of the Manze performance were now clearly distinguishable."
Fantastic!
Thanks Kal.

And while we are speaking about the music of Heinrich Ignatz Franz Biber . . .

I am listening to a D.G. Archiv LP featuring the music of that composer - along with music by Georg Muffat. Recorded in 1965

Concert Music of the Baroque Court

Concentus Musicus Vienna - Nikolaus Harnoncourt - Director

Schubert - Die schöne Müllerin
Christoph Prégardien, tenor
Michael Gees, piano



Beautiful song cycle.
We heard it live with Mark Padmore and Kristian Bezuidenhout (pianoforte) earlier this year and it was a remarkable concert in the chamber music hall in Concertgebouw Brugge.
This SACD also brings a very good version. Prégardien and Gees, both Germans, deliver an intimate but passionate performance.
