Now here is an obscure but quite interesting one for you.
Discovered a very rare cd(on Prestige), made from private recordings, of orchestral and choral pieces by the South African, J S Gerber.
What a concoction of styles!
There are some quite attractive orchestral pieces, particuarly "Fiesta"; he has a couple of attractive melodies, which, sadly, once heard once, do not re-appear.
The style is late Romantic plus a dab of impressionism.
Then there is the Requiem, which quotes a tune from the Verdi requiem and, almost verbatim, in the Agnus Dei, the Paradisium of the Faure Requiem! :)
The performances are quite good, though the Requiem is Lp transfers.
Oddly, the orchestral pieces are orchestrated by Philip Sainton.
Anyone else got/(quite) like this esoteric cd?
