Titolo: Ludus Danielis: Play of Daniel Condizione: Nuovo Tipo: CD EAN: 0054727739521 Genere: Musica Classica Description: EDITORIAL REVIEWS AMAZON It's always fun to find a recording that offers adventure and discovery along with its musical performances. Andrew Lawrence-King's Harp Consort not only brings us an important document of a 12th-century masterpiece, but the work's colorful, celebratory, sometimes raucous aspects show how inappropriate the term Dark Ages can be. The Play of Daniel, typically performed in churches following the Christmas feasts, could be called a medieval opera, owing to its cast of characters, its dramatic staging, and its fully sung roles for soloists and chorus. The story is the one about Daniel and the lions, the mysterious handwriting on the wall, and Daniel's ominous prophecy regarding King Balthasar. But its real message is the foretelling of Christ's nativity and the end of earthly kingdoms. The performances are excellent, with period stringed instruments, organ, and percussion joining the voices. Unlike the other fine recording of this work on Hungaroton, this one features improvised vocal polyphony and longer instrumental sections. --David Vernier Paese di origine: USA Lingua: inglese Numero di dischi: 1 Artista: BACH CARL PHILIPP EMMANUEL Etichetta discografica: Deutsche Harmonia Mundi Title Format: CD
