One of the Hilliers' daughters was there at the new Hamlet, too. Lovely family, so easy and friendly. I wish the Theatre of Voices were back in East Neuk in just over a week's time, but Paul told me they're due to return in 2018.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-59968399000604927052017-06-19T20:36:42.118+01:002017-06-19T20:36:42.118+01:00David: Actually, we like all three tracks of the n...David: Actually, we like all three tracks of the nature morte sequence (nature morte, The Butterfly, and Who Are You?), but the one in addition to Who Are You I was thinking of was indeed nature morte (the first of the three tracks in the sequence). And now here's another "small world" sort of thing: as I noted in my earlier comment, nature morte reminded me of Anne Boyd's "As I crossed a bridge of dreams." In looking back, I realized Else Torp was among the Ars Nova Copenhagen singers I heard sing the Boyd piece when in Wales. I think you'll recognize her in one of the photos <a href="http://prufrocksdilemma.blogspot.com/2012/05/crossing-bridge-of-dreams.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Susan Scheidhttps://prufrocksdilemma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-80708911596769179602017-06-18T08:58:58.670+01:002017-06-18T08:58:58.670+01:00I've forgotten about it.

We both love it, particularly the track you noted and another (I think I may have commented back to you at the time that nature morte itself (I think it was) put in mind Anne Boyd's I crossed a Bridge of Dreams. So, all this is to say, thank you for making yet another wonderful musical introduction!Susan Scheidhttps://prufrocksdilemma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-82878005793086679962017-06-16T07:30:14.339+01:002017-06-16T07:30:14.339+01:00Aita (thanks), dear Will.

Indeed, as far as I know the Grigorjeva Vespers are still to be recorded - though that concert was possibly broadcast on Estonian Radio, which keeps a huge archive - though don't miss either the Theatre of Voices Grigorjeva CD or another which I was given of the Estonian Male Voice Choir in her music.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-63561346054785615322017-06-16T04:07:26.843+01:002017-06-16T04:07:26.843+01:00PS: Just finished reading your excellent TAD piece...PS: Just finished reading your excellent TAD piece, and am glad to be reminded of composers I'd explored a bit after visiting Tallinn and learning of others brand new to me.

And what a nice surprise to see Nicolas Horvath mentioned at the end of the post, together with Jan Rääts, for it was on that trip to Tallinn that I first heard Horvath perform, and Jan Rääts was present then as well.
