Update, a few more recordings and scores added.

mrcopper

I should have added: I've given up on demanding that orchestras tune to A=435. So all recent recordings are cranked up about 12 cents higher than I'd prefer. Can only fight so many battles ....

Adam Wood

So all recent recordings are cranked up about 12 cents higher than I'd prefer.

Just make up for it by getting six people to stop giving you their opinions.

Salieri

I've given up on demanding that orchestras tune to A=435.

Why the constant raising of 'standard' pitch? By the time I die, it'll probably be A=480. I'll go with A=435 any day.

Ben

I ALWAYS play at A=520. It's progressive. You should try.

M. Jackson Osborn

Be thankful for what you have!
In Russian monasteries it's A=215
For Tibetan monks it's 185

Final update, I hope: entire Magnificat at

for the enthusiast, should there be one.

William

Salieri

Listened to it a couple of times. I really like it.

So far the Et exultatvit (No. 2) and the Suscepit Israel (No. 10) are my favourite movements. I especially like the quasi Klezmer feel of the obbligato violin and cor anglais in No 10.

mrcopper

Lol. I guess I could see Klezmer. #10 actually reminded me, a little uncomfortably, of Mozart's ~~Canzonetta sull'Aria~~ oops, no, "L'ho perduta", the Aria for Barbarina, from Le Nozze de Figaro, though I had no intention of imitating.
