Cristóbal de Morales: Parce Mihi Domine [without that bloody saxophone]

[liebemusikvideo]

"The addition of the sax' to me is an intrusion, like musical graffitti.

Much prefer it as the composer intended." Well said. Thanks for posting this piece

[kissthewires]

oh my god thank you so much

I confess to disliking the saxophone when I first heard it but it has grown on me and now I like both. The saxophone gives it an added haunting quality.

Radio 3 played this piece, without the 'bloody' saxophone,

0900, Wed, 24 /8/2011.

I loved it in that simple, sublime form.

The addition of the sax' to me is an intrusion,  like musical graffitti.

Much prefer it as the composer intended.

[Musicologicus]

I like this!

[oerrodedescartes]

Thank you :o)

I have this (awesome) record. Bloody saxophone, indeed ...

[Huuhtaanen]

Saxophone nausea... terrific metaphor. :) And ever so true. But: After all, this enticingly beautiful piece of music has not been carked, blated and whinnied down that awfully the way Garbarek frazzled other pieces on Officium...

[Peter1648]

Finally I can can listen to this lamentation in the way the composer intended it!

@TheManRaptor glad that I'm not the only one that hates the "bloody saxophone"!!!!!

[onclevanja]

That was okey but I missed the saxophone. Make it a little more accessible.

Oh come now, where would Job have been without a maudlin sax solo to help make his lament a bit more accessible?

[TheManRaptor]

Without that bloody saxophone?
