Part, Tallis, & of course  Eno...

Great stuff !

Brian Eno, Joanna  MacGregor and Bath Camerata
Bath Abbey 2006 [no label,  2CD]
Live at the Bath International Music Festival 2006, May 24,  2006 (late 
show). 
Imagine Brian Eno  tackling Arvo Part's The Beautitudes - a collusion of 
the ambient and  the ancient. As the artistic director of Britain's Bath's 
Festival,  pianist/auteur Joanna MacGregor had invited electronic maestro Brian 
 Eno to perform at the 2006 Festival. With the choir of Bath Camerata  in 
attendance, the show is both meditative and interesting. 
As The  Independent newspaper reported: "Seated at a desk (looking rather 
like  a newsreader in his grey suit and specs, Apple Powerbook open in front  
of him), Eno made announcements, intoned poetry in his impressive,  
actor-ish voice, and even sang along with the choir. By twiddling a  little console 
connected to the computer, he also 'treated'  MacGregor's Steinway and the 
voices of the choir with the sonic  shivers and shimmers - a kind of 
audio-ectoplasm - that characterise  his famous ambient works. 
"In the most  compelling sequence of a wonderfully varied programme, 
MacGregor's  Eno-ised version of Dowland's Lachrymae - slowed-down to 
ambient-tempo  - was followed by selections from Eno's own Music For Airports. With  the 
members of the choir now dotted about the abbey (a feature of the  
performance) , their wordless vocals, combined with Eno's effects and  the airy 
acoustic of the building - plus subtle lighting and  fan-vaulting a go-go - 
created a powerful, indeed unforgettable,  impression." 
Thanks to  arnold113 for sharing the lossless version of this FM radio 
broadcast  on the internet. 
Arnold113 also  noted the following: "Thanks to Chris Boyes, who was so 
kind to send  me a CDR copy of his recording of this very concert. Please 
notice  that I patched together Track 6 and 7 (Disc 1) which were performed  that 
way morphing into each other. I didn't like the way the two  tracks were 
rudely chopped up by the BBC. The Eno comment about The  Airman I put AFTER 
the very song, I hope you will prefer this as well.  One track was not 
broadcast - O Bone Jesu, performed by the Bath  Camarata (by James MacMillan), 
performed before August  1914."

Thanks also to fastone for the artwork.
