also, I'm going to the rotation as there's some things to do.
Also just got this, many thanks for the heads up. I put all 4 discs into a mix yesterday along with albums by the likes of Astral Social Club, Roy Montgomery, Vibracathedral Orchestra and We Will Fail. Great fun though I didn't manage to shuffle play all the way through the 11 hours + Still there's always next weekend.
Brighternow - Gramophone did a review a little over a year ago, see http://www.gramophone.co.uk/feature/faurés-requiem . The only version I have is from the Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir as a download from their Sunday morning concert series several years ago. I have heard The Sixteen perform it but not heard their recording, so not sure how it compares.

Thanks Doofy . . . I actually thought it was a Mahavishnu tune. (A Love Supreme)
Just downloaded the real thing:
- Not bad . . . Not bad at all
Someone wrote on the album page:
Tale is that the John Coltrane Quartet only performed A Love Supreme
live in concert once. This is it. In other words, this is one of the
most powerful bands in the history of jazz playing their most powerful
composition and knowing that there was a good chance they would never do
it again. The emotional content of this performance is accordingly
stratospheric.
There are sonic compromises to hear this music. The sound is "60s
Concert OK." It's nowhere near the quality of Van Gelder's Love
Supreme.
There are also musical compromises. The ensemble is sloppy entering the
Acknowledgment. Some of the transitions are not as smooth as they
might have been. But ultimately, many will find that the humanity
displayed by these musical avatars deepens the listening experience.
Tell you what: Go find some other way to spend fifty cents that's as
rewarding. Or download this stuff and listen to it over and over again

This has nothing to do with the other Broken Consort.
ETA: From the library:
- ETA: I changed to this one. . . I was looking for his Requiem:
Maurice Duruflé - Requiem, Op. 9
Got a $100 re-join credit from emu, so hitting some of the BITW year end choices. Really love this one.
Gabriel Faure's Requiem Op. 48
- Gotta find a version for my library - Any suggestions ?
I like the name Godspeed You Black Emperor, but never really took to their music.
NP:
Rob Mazurek & Emmett Kelly - "Alien Flower Sutra"
