Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2006

Discover the other Bach
For years I have enjoyed my J.S. Bach recordings and wished that there would be new discoveries of his music, but for no particular reason I never ventured into the music of his son, C.P.E. Bach. I heard about this recording on the Minn. Public Radio podcast, "New ...

C.P.E. Bach: Symphonies 1-4/Cello Concerto in A with Andrew Manze

C.P.E. Bach, Alison McGillivray, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2006

"SACD" VERSION BETTER THAN THIS....
The great Andrew Manze has done it again! Brilliant, sparkling accents and marvelous playing of this joyous music by the English Concert. - BUT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, AND BUY THE SACD VERSION (HARMONIA MUNDI 807403) OF THIS RECORDING, INEXPLICABLY NOT OFFERED FOR SALE BY ...

Biber: The Rosary Sonatas

Alison McGillivray, Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2004

Simply Amazing - Disregard the Negative Comments
I doubted whether to buy this or Reinhard Goebel's version of the sonatas. Most reviewers praised this one highly, but one was giving it really bad press, which made me doubt. I haven't bought the other one, and therefore I can't really compare them (though i spent ...

Geminiani: Concerti Grossi (after Corelli Op 5) /AAM * Manze

Francesco Geminiani, Arcangelo Corelli, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2000

Corelli and his interpreters
As the reader may already know, the opus 5 violin sonatas of Corelli were the inspiration for this orchestral interpretation of them by Geminiani. As related by Manze in his album notes, Corelli chose the significant year 1700 to publish opus 5, and according to Manze, ...

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi: Marian Vespers

Alison McGillivray, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, ...

Erato, 2003

One CD would be enough
An attempt to re-create something of various works can hardly be successful. Here, we have Pergolesi's compositions of his different creative periods and plus a spurious (though very Pergolesian) Magnificat. The result doesn't look convincing. I would prefer listening ...

Bach: Alles mit Gott

Peter Harvey, Alison McGillivray, ...

Soli Deo Gloria, 2005

A forgotten Gem!
Written and performed only once in 1713, the title track was lost and completely forgotten for almost 300 years. "Alles mit Gott und nicths ohn' ihn" is an ode in 12 stanzas put to music by Bach. At 12-minutes-plus, the three stanzas presented hear are enough. Elin ...

Simax, 2000

Still Music of the Spheres-Byrd, Mico / Phantasm
Glorious music, well played and extemely well recorded. If you are an audiophile, this recording and for that matter any recording on Simax by Phantasm is an absolute treat. A must have!
