composed by Roger Marsh

It might seem foolhardy to set about to compose a piece based on the same text as that of one of the seminal works in twentieth century music, but British composer Roger Marsh has taken the risk and succeeded in creating something entirely new and hugely engaging. His choral cycle, Albert Giraud's Pierrot Lunaire, uses the same texts as Schoenberg ...

composed by Giovanni Battista Draghi, John Blow

The masterpieces of the High Baroque did not arise in isolation but were almost all steps in long traditions -- and are better understood as such. Recordings of Buxtehude's music have shed a good deal of light on Bach, for instance, and the wider dissemination of the North Italian concerto tradition has confirmed the role of Vivaldi as a daring ...

composed by Carlo Gesualdo

For twenty-first century ears accustomed to every type of music imaginable, it can be hard to hear Gesualdo's later madrigals as the shocking and revolutionary pieces they are or imagine the reaction of their original audiences, but sometimes the music is so supremely odd that it inevitably elicits a double-take. This is sometimes the result of ...

composed by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber

This marvellous collection of Biber's works, played brilliantly by the Purcell Quartet, interposes the 12 sonatas of the "Fidicinium sacro-profanum" (circa 1682) with other short programmatic works, much as was done when he worked for Prince-Bishop Karl at Kromeriz. The "Fidicinium" sonatas for string quartet were revolutionary in their form and ...
