It is indeed nice Qobuz notifies you in advance of your upcoming subscription renewal. This has become uncommon.
New on Qobuz. HR. Late Renaissance - Early Baroque polyphony. The overall sound was very attractive, and reconciled me to its choral nature. A bunch of composers I have never heard of. Surprisingly pleasant.
" Concerto Palatino proposes a program centered on the ideas of Johannes Kepler and the music of his lifetime. Taking Tui sunt coeli by Orlando di Lasso as a point of departure the group explores other polyphonic and polychoral music of Lasso and his contemporaries (Andrea Gabrieli, Lambert de Sayve, Hans Leo Hassler, etc.). In addition, they commissioned a new work for the project by the renowned composer Calliope Tsoupaki. Her new piece is called ASTRON (to the stars) and is based on a Delphic Hymn. For this project, Concerto Palatino was joined by a truly “star-studded” lineup of singers: Hana Blažíková and Barbora Kabátková, sopranos; Alex Potter, countertenor; Benedict Hymans and Jan van Elsacker, tenor; Tomáš Kral, baritone; and Jaromir Nosek, bass. "
A fun takeoff on Kepler’s Harmonices Mundi and music of the spheres.
