- A great (and too infrequently recorded) Viennese soprano, an unknown Russian composer, and an English master of choral music come together for this installment of Random Reviews from the Overflow Room.
I found your UA-cam last week and I can't get enough. I'm a classical musician and my lack of awareness of how much music is really out there is astounding. Thank you so much for sharing your passion and knowledge.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
Love your reminiscences of John Rutter. My wife is a choral singer and loves to do Rutter's music. Thanks for the video. Wesley
You've recommended a couple I'll definitely be getting! Thank you!
Some years ago, I was one of the trumpeters in a performance of that brass-enhanced, exciting piece, Rutter's Gloria at Fremont Presbyterian Church in Sacramento (the music director had befriended Rutter when studying in England), and Rutter conducted all of us. He is indeed delightful. At one point in rehearsal he declared, "I've always wanted to conduct a massed choir of Californians." (I bet he says that to all the California choirs). It was a memorable event.
Thank you for mentioning that Rysanek recital. She made so few studio recordings (because she was a stage animal and felt she wasn't her best in studio) that this album is so valuable. Her high C in the Aida aria is hair-raising!
I have the Fancies album and it's delightful!
Rutter's Brother Heinrich's Christmas is our family seasonal favorite since it was released on cassette in 1985.
!WOT!
You've only one disc of some composers! Get out of here!
Good luck finding more. There was only one at the time...
