Jan. 17th, 2006 06:24 pmUh-oh. I'm getting picky. The Palestrina I downloaded last night was too fast and used an organ. No good, I found the organ very distracting - it gave the music a tonal center I'm used to it not having (this is one of the reasons I like the stuff). The Saint-Saens, however, is awesome (and I'm likely to be less picky about).
I still haven't gotten used to Gabrieli with strings. It just isn't right. It should be vocal, organ, or brass. Strings don't have the proper reverance/resonance for music like that.
