MUSIC OF THE ANCIENT GREEKS
Pandourion Records CD PRCD1001
This CD by De Organographia is a considerably
more recent and (in a number of ways) quite different treatment of the ancient Greek material than is the recording
by Atrium Musicae de Madrid. Instead of a vocal ensemble playing various instruments, there is but one vocalist
(Gayle Stuwe Neuman) and two instrumentalists (Plilip Neuman and WilliamGavin) in the ensemble. The reconstructions
of period instruments used (featured in the liner notes and on this Web site) are impressive in number and tone,
if not as numerous or variegated as on the Atrium Musicae
recording. The liner notes are informative and sufficient for their purpose, and there are actually more musical
works available than on the earlier recording.
This recording was formerly available here at Amazon.com, but is presently not available
there. Another recording by De Organographia,
Music of the Ancient Sumerians, Egyptians & Greeks,
was also once available at Amazon.com but is now out of stock. Both recordings, however, may be ordered used via
the above links when available, and new from the address below. |
