Andrea Scholl - Crystal Tears
I got a copy and...wow. Cray-z.
Crazy.
Crazy crazy crazy good.
I've always had an affection for this particular time period and counter tenors. The music itself is sublime. Clearly. Sublime, but the playing here is so fine...so intimate. This recording is incredible in an of itself. Part of me wonders if the musicians are rebelling from their classical training and taking small liberties to breathe life into the pieces. The sheer quality of it, the way the instruments articulate against one an other...it's like nothing else I've heard in the classical world. It's really a big shiny gem of art songs.
Here is Venus Birds (thanks to morimur for pointing him out.
If I were king, this would be a top 10 hit.
Not from Crystal Tears but here is him singing Black Is the Color...
