MUSIQUE DE LA GRECE ANTIQUE

ATRIUM MUSICAE DE MADRID

GREGORIA PANIAGUA 

*TAS/HARRY PEARSON LIST
ANTHONY SALVATORE DIVINITY
AUDIOPHILE MONSTER*

*EARLIER GATEFOLD "ACROPOLIS" SLEEVE*

THESE EARLIER "ACROPOLIS SLEEVE" PRESSINGS SOUND BETTER, SEE BELOW

This is a very special and amazing record, and in more than one way. First, the music is unique; actually dating back to Ancient Greece and even The Roman Empire! It is the only record I know of that attempts to recreate music from that period.

Secondly, there is no other "Ancient Music" LP that can equal its sonics. Its closest rival is the ATR La Folia, which is a little variable, and not quite as immediate. It is better than all the other Harmonia Mundi's I've listed, and that even includes the incredible Villancicos.

This record defines both "immediacy" and "completeness". The sound-floor is as low as it gets on an LP, which is the reason why you can hear everything, and also why it is simply "alive". It is also incredibly dynamic. Of course, even the best has flaws. In this case, there is some "pre-echo" at the beginning of side one. This LP is also on the TAS list so there is a premium on it.

PRESSINGS: The original pressings by Harmonia Mundi sound extremely similar, but there are very small differences between the earliest, which has a yellow, "Acropolis benefit announcement" in the upper left hand corner of the front jacket, and those that came later. The "Acropolis" pressings are a touch more immediate and dynamic."
