Ora Singers - Tallis: Spem in Alium; MacMillan: The Forty Part Motet: Vidi Aquam - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Édouard Herriot once said, InchIn Beethoven, everything comes from within. His model is not the rule of the schoolroom.Inch This is particularly true of the late sonatas, which contain elements of both an intimate journal (Romain Rolland saw in Op.101 Incha day in the inner lifeInch of Beethoven) and total experimentation (the variations of Op.109) before attaining the mystical serenity of the very last sonata, Op.111. Here is Nikolai Lugansky's powerful vision of this pianistic Everest. Album Tracks 1. Beethoven Piano Sonata No.28 in a Major Op.101 - I. Etwas Lebhaft Und Mit Der Innigsten Empfindung 2.

It weaves hypnotic plainchant around renaissance gems and modern masterpieces.
