Music for the King of Scots The Binchois Consort / Andrew Kirkman [ Hyperion / CD - due 2/Apr/2021 ] A re-creation of the music combined with a technological reconstruction of the acoustic in Linlithgow Chapel: this is a project which offers a fascinating perspective on how such repertoire might originally have been heard. |
LIGETI
Ligeti: The 18 Études Danny Driver [ Hyperion / CD - due 5/Mar/2021 ] Ligeti's vertiginous studies are breathtaking: extraordinary explorations of the modern piano which test the instrument (and its player) to the limit. |
FRANCISCO GUERRERO
Guerrero: Magnificat, Lamentations & Canciones El León de Oro / Peter Phillips [ Hyperion / CD - due 5/Mar/2021 ] Francisco Guerrero is still insufficiently well known by comparison to his great contemporary and compatriot Victoria.
