What's your latest "Discovery"

Gabbro - If you like that Biber disc also try "The Seven Words" (Haydn), performed by Rosamunde Quartett on ECM New Series. It is a contemporary take on that piece with no ominous vocals that are usually a part of the piece. It is purely instrumental. Really great performance and recording...another in the same vein of the Biber that stayed on my system(s) for a long time!

Dekay - Some of the older Fado singers (in the traditional realms of Fado) are quite remarkable as well. While in Portugal I got a disc by Maria Teresa de Noronha: WOW! Hard to find here, but worth looking for. She is considered one of the best ever. It's an interesting to hear the older performances of the same traditional songs, in contrast with the same songs by Misia and other contemporaries. I agree, "Ritual" is great! Fado is very emotionally charged and spiritually pure music! Just goes right to the heart!

Thanks for the tip, Jax2. Have you heard any of the Biber Mystery Sonatas? I am wondering if they are similar as well.

Here's another one that listening to "Misia" brought to mind.

Azam Ali "Portals of Grace" on the Narada/World label.

It's a contemporary collection based on medieval Europe/other music.

Azam (the female vocalist) was born in Iran and raised in India.

Another interesting CD is the "Klezmer Nutcracker Suite" on the Newport Classic, Ltd. label. Eastern European jazz meets "The Nutcracker Suite".

I just found Jean-Luc Ponte in used bins.The discovery really is several used CD's for $2 or less.A real bargain.I remember JLP from the 70's and just rediscoverd through used Bins at the local CD store in Maine!

Seether's latest CD "Disclaimer". If I remember correctly, I purchased it at Target.
