Editorial for April 2007

by Audiophile Audition | Apr 1, 2007 | Editorial | 0 comments

Welcome to Adobe GoLive 6

The scale of this 160-CD Bach project from Brilliant Classics, which we are awarding this month, was immense. For example, 200 cantatas had to be recorded in 15 months, all under a single conductor. In addition to the cantatas, the set has all of the other sacred vocal works of Bach, all his orchestral works – including the exciting Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral Suites, his chamber music, solo instrumental works such as the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Cello Suites, and the works for pipe organ. Both performances and recorded quality are on a very high level. Although Brilliant is a budget label, the recordings licensed from other labels would alone exceed the cost of this set if bought separately. For a very detailed review of the Bach set Go Here.

At the end of April we will draw the names and addresses of two Audiophile Audition readers who have Registered Here on our site and they will be shipped the Bach sets.

And the winners of the $96 Johnny Hodges Verve Small Groups 6-CD Set for our March drawing were:

Nina Wright, Eaton, NY; William Kollins, Olney, MD; Charlie Post, Brooklyn, NY; Robert McGrew, Collinsville, MS; Bruce Hartley, Lenexa, KS; & Barry Bassis, NYC. Congrats to all!
