Sunday Brunch – Auger and von Otter Sing Bach

Helmut Rilling's recording of Bach's B-minor Mass is a good representation of the state of  the modern-instrument/HIP hybrid of the 80s (We can tell it's the 80s from ASvO's haircut, and because Arlene Auger is still singing.) I think if you search diligently, you can find the entire mass on YT, in bits and pieces. This is sublime music making.

  1. I can report that as of tonight ASvO is still doing the sublime music-making thing.

  2. What a find! And what a Vintage von Otter find!

    1. I'll say. I WAS going to call it "Vintage von Otter" but I didn't want to "steal" your tag line :) (I also didn't use Otterphile this time, though I should have.)

    2. I've seen a VHS of her singing La morte de Cleopatre with (I think) Colin Davis, and her hair is like that, except with a mullet extension in the back. The 80s were quite something. (Oh, and the massive puffy sleeves on the awkwardly tailored dress, naturally.)
