Two guitarist played various baroque pieces, over an hour of music. I have no idea who the musicians were, but I loved that tape. I lost it, and cannot find a replacement. Any of you know of a recording that fits this not too detailed description? khandu |

19 Nov 00 - 07:21 PM (#343640) Subject: RE: Long Shot/ Going for Baroque From: CarolC I think if you check out the classical guitar sections of pretty much any good source of recorded music, you'll find a good selection of baroque music being played on the guitar. Christopher Parkening and John Williams are two of the best and most well known classical guitarists. Then there is Sharon (can't remember her last name exactly but I think it's something like Ibitz). I like her the best, myself. Then there's the ever-present Andres Segovia. Also Julian Bream is good, but I can't remember if he plays anything besides lute. Good luck with your search. Carol |

20 Nov 00 - 04:36 AM (#343818) Subject: RE: Long Shot/ Going for Baroque From: MichaelAnthony There's an album with Williams and Bream playing together that's pretty good...not sure it's all baroque though. Then a release with just Williams: "An Evening Without Julian Bream". (Just joking on this last part!)

20 Nov 00 - 09:10 AM (#343909) Subject: RE: Long Shot/ Going for Baroque From: Whistle Stop There are at least three Williams/Bream albums. They are very good, in part because John Williams and Julian Bream have very different styles -- Williams is very exacting but a little bit dry, Bream is more full-bodied. All three albums feature music from a variety of periods, not just the Baroque. |

(Music of Scarlatti, Bach & Handel). It would fit your bill, I think - it's on Dorian. Also on Dorian, not baroque but somewhat folk, is a CD called "Chords & Thyme" by Ed Flower, English folksong arrangements, mostly duets with Joel Brown, which I also like a lot. (I've seen this one on eBay a few times). |

This isn't what you're looking for, khandu, since there aren't any guitars in it, but there's an Irish group called Dord n that I'd recommend to anyone who agrees that Mozart and Haydn and Bach belong with Carolan and good session music.
But maybe if you had some idea of what the pieces were or who might have written them that might help people point you in the right direction, if they haven't alrady done so. (Though I always find if I look for one thing, I find something else, so maybe it's best to start looking for something that isn't quite what you're after anyway.) |
