This, too. From Handel. Unreal.

@dcofficehack Nice! You might enjoy Tine Thing Helseth doing Mariettas Lied.
I have it on Primephonic, but there’s a video on YT that is in a cool setting. Looks SO effortless, lol.
I really need to learn how to transfer songs here and the listening tonite thread to share! Would prob. have to do from YT as I don’t know if one from Primephonic will play. ( I am really computer impaired as I never had need for them until a few years ago. )

I’ll check that out.

dcofficehack · February 1, 2021, 3:53pm

Wow. Yeah, I see what you mean. I’ve never heard of her or of that music. Must do a little digging

She also has toured with a group of female brass players. Fun stuff. She gave a concert at our local university last year, but I missed it. A bit different tone than Alison, but I like her playing, and I’m not even a brass player, lol. Glad you liked it.

The big question for me is how to pronounce Tine Thing’s name. I need to find some vid in which someone introduces her.

TimpTim44 · February 1, 2021, 5:24pm

Tee hee! I love Wikipedia! But in this case it helps if you’re Norwegian!
Enjoy your search of her music. One of the things I love about this forum.

I love Bach cantatas and I love the Netherlands Bach Society’s stuff on Youtube. This is one of the very best. Perfection.

Thanks for sharing this with us. She’s very good! Lots of good music from over that way. As I have said, I follow the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. They have been doing some “empty hall” sessions with trios, small ensenbles, as well as now a few with a spread out cut down orchestra.

dcofficehack · February 3, 2021, 11:40am

Oh, that’s a magnificent orchestra!

Here’s one of my favorite bits of music on Youtube. Just perfect:

This is COVID-era:

TimpTim44 · February 3, 2021, 12:45pm

Indeed! They are trying. I love that hall…acoustics are interesting when it’s empty.

dcofficehack · February 3, 2021, 2:01pm

I wouldn’t mind living in the Netherlands. Wouldn’t mind it at all.

Great recording of this beautiful piece. The 2nd movement blows my mind. Great dynamic range

TimpTim44 · February 3, 2021, 3:33pm

Primephonic has been including some Saent Saens/ Roge lately. Good stuff and, yes, well-recorded! They have several different recordings of it/with him and of course others, so you can take your pick, lol.

mtapro · February 3, 2021, 4:18pm

Primephonic is great. Have it aswell. Huge database of recordings to pick from which is great!

Didn’t see him posted thus far in this thread but if you’re looking for a more contemporary composer/pianist I highly recommend Karl Jenkins

fyi all…Concertgebouworkest (Amsterdam) is playing Friday pseudo-live concerts on Fridays this month. Earlier recordings presented as tho live, with the ability to comment and chat with listeners from around the world. I have seen a number of them in the past…always well done. Even tho youtube the audio is quite good and the camerawork is great. Tomorrow Feb 12 at 2pm Eastern time, (evening over there) Tchaikovsky Sym. # 5. I have seen that one before and it is an Excellent!! performance.

Man that sounds cool… I am fortunate to be employed and unavailable during that time. Sad for missing the webcast and interaction… but that sounds cool.

TimpTim44 · February 12, 2021, 3:10am

I forgot to add that they usually leave it up for a few days, so you can catch it
on your own schedule!
