17th Century Devotional Music –
Proprius 7800 Gatefold – Original Swedish Pressing –
Factory Sealed
In the library of the University of Uppsala, Sweden, the Düben Collection of Music from the 17th century is one of the world`s most outstanding: 1,500 works, with over 13,000 sheets of music.
This LP release from Sweden delivers selections from this collection of devotional music, and is recorded in a manner, I tell you, that at once will have you believing you are hearing singers and musicians from the period, just as they might be heard in church and court. (The air and space in this recording is uncanny.)
The musicians are the Uppsala Akademiska Kammarkor and Drottningholms Barockensemble, conducted by Anders Ek; with soloists Eva Eriksson, Anne Sofie von Otter, Stefan Dahlberg, Ulf Lundmark, and Olle Skold.
The music is that of Stefano Fabri, Christoph Bernhard, Simone Vesi, Gioseppe Peranda, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Francesco Foggia, Vincenzo Albrici, Christian Geist, and Johann Valentin Meder, among other notables.
An outstanding musical outing, recorded wonderfully, here factory sealed.
Not to be missed. Incredible definition and imaging here, that works especially well in a listening room alight with candles.
An awesome record.
