T.D.

Disc 2. I'll probably get flamed in some sectors for listening to this, but I wanted to compare versions (TS and Huelgas Ens.) of Brumel's "Earthquake Mass".

The "Earthquake Mass" is an excellent piece! This disc could have been mentioned in the Dufay/Josquin thread.

Final discs, 7 and 8 of 8. Mainly Obrecht and Prioris, but disc 8 also has pieces by Josquin, de la Rue and Brumel, among others.

Discs 5 (Ockeghem) and 6 (Josquin, Compere, Brumel, de la Rue).

Discs 3 and 4 - mostly Dufay, Binchois and Ockeghem.

Discs 1 and 2 (of 8). Dufay is the main composer featured on these 2.

This very set happens to be next in my listening queue!

Jack DeJohnette "Concert for Inner Peace" (solo piano) http://www.woodstockguild.org/dejohnette.html

"...den 24.xii. 1931" "Garbled news for baritone and instruments" is my favorite Kagel piece.

For what it's worth, Presto Classical (UK) has an online box set sale expiring today (1/16). Shipping rates to USA are low, and some prices are favorable relative to Amazon sellers. I bought 4 items (Bavouzet's complete Debussy solo piano music, "Flemish Polyphony" by various artists, "Complete works of Guillaume Lekeu" by VA, and "Scarlatti: 50 Sonatas" by Pierre Hantai), which is a big splurge for me. [Usual disclaimers apply: I have no relationship to Presto Classical, etc.]

Going to see Jack DeJohnette (playing solo piano!) Friday. I don't have any of his recordings as leader, so ordered

I came across the following box (on the Ricercar label) by accident, while searching for something else. It looked so compelling that I had to order it! [Added: Not all the music is sacred (some of the secular stuff is even off-color), but there are a lot of excellent masses.] Review and track listing here

Good article on the NFL's stadium-building insanity, prompted by the Chargers' just-announced relo. " These buildings [lavish new stadia] are in use no more than a couple dozen days each year, and they are built, in most cases, with substantial contributions from taxpayers. They are incapable of achieving many of their supposed purposes—creating economic stimulus, providing public space—but they sure make imposing if not especially enduring monuments to NFL owners." [Sorry, I couldn't find any other NFL threads.]

Just ordered, waiting for delivery.

Sorry I'm late, but hoping it was a great one!

Strongly agree on Berio and voices! Re. the non-vocal music, my experience has been highly mixed. Maybe I haven't heard the right pieces.

Very sad indeed. Regrettably, I only learned of this yesterday (5 Jan 2017).
