Purcell - My heart is inditing / Collegium Vocale Gent / Capriccio Stravagante / Sempé

[@loganstrosahl7952]

One of the best Purcell performances I've ever heard.

Merveilleux Purcell, merveilleux Skip Sempé. Choristes excellents ....mais c'est le Collegium Gent ! Merci pour cette superbe prestation. Je n'oublie pas la direction de Skip Sempé qui m'a bouleversé dans le Requiem de Jean Gilles. Toujours excellent.

For years, I have enjoyed Chanticleer’s 2003 recording “Evening Prayer: Purcell Anthems and Sacred Songs” -- which features Skip Sempé and Capriccio Stravagante. I was delighted to find this group of videos with Collegium Vocale Gent. These performances have been a balm in this difficult season. Merci, Monsieur Sempé.

Lovely performance of this anthem ,beautifully realised and recorded.This is how Purcell's music should be sung-with muscularity and enthusiasm.

This is amazing. The voices are so pure. I have listened to a few recordings and this seems to the best. Just what I need during the CV Pandemic.

Waking up listeners - Capriccio Stravagante is world-renowned for their memorable interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque music. Founded in 1986 by Skip Sempé, the ensemble of three to seventy performers incorporates Capriccio Stravagante, the Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra and Capriccio Stravagante Les 24 Violons. By the mid 1990s, the ensemble had built up an extensive discography for which they received international acclaim and had performed in major concert halls and festivals worldwide. Nonchalance & Power - The ensembles seek a musical aesthetic whose values have been nearly lost to contemporary musical life. Unlike many other early music ensembles, they adhere to traditional principles of articulation, rhetoric, scholarship, imagination and talent to break down conventions that have little to do with historical practice, particularly those originating in twentieth-century ‘Baroque’ performance practices. Capriccio Stravagante has recorded extensively for the Paradizo, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, Astrée, Alpha and Teldec labels. Man-made beauty - The Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra offers virtuoso performers on a highly distinctive musical instrumentarium that includes violins, viols, recorders, cornetti, sackbuts, krummhorns, shawms, lutes, harps, harpsichords, virginals, organs, and percussion. Derived from the instrumental virtuosity that sixteenth-century music demanded, their playing techniques are completely unknown to classically trained instrumentalists and mainstream audiences today. The ensemble is the largest and most luxurious gathering yet assembled for the performance of masterpieces from this Golden Age of musical creativity. Awards & Rewards - Capriccio Stravagante’s exceptional chamber ensemble playing has inspired three generations of musicians, many of whom have gone on to enjoy international careers. The Capriccio Stravagante Prize was created by Skip Sempé in 1997, and served to encourage numerous musicians in their early careers. It is particularly touching that many of those musicians have now become an integral part of Capriccio Stravagante’s activities. Sempé receives lasting inspiration from the key members of these renewed generations.

Beautiful. Written for the coronation of King James II in 1685.

Oboes and bassoons not in the original scoring 😉but actually works quite well! Such an amazing piece you could play it on kazoos and it would still sound awesome ❤
