Music is the sweet consolation of great labors.

A Monk’s Life, The Brabant Ensemble, Stephen Rice, Director, Hyperion Recording CD68447
Your Tatler has listened to so many recordings in his life he cannot possibly estimate their number. He has also reviewed a good number of them, how many he cannot say. It hardly matters; when it comes to the one you see above, without a doubt, and risking hyperbole–but so what–it is the most beautiful and expertly performed recording he has heard in many, many years.
The title explains its contents and, in addition to the splendid audio (192k.0 kHz when streaming), it comes with well written and informative notes.
