In trying to find any info on the first release here, which has some strange inconsistencies between track titles and lengths, I discovered that this other release has the same barcode. Both are from Sony Classical.
Most likely there’s just 2 different releases. It isn’t just a typo when there’s a DiscID added by the same editor who added the release. There’s a duration differences because last tracks have recordings of totally different work(s). This compilation is having recording of “Missa pro Defunctis”. Some other releases by Schola Cantorum Amsterdam are having this same work with same track durations. Seems that release artist is correct.
We can’t be totally sure if barcode is correct. I already fixed another release which was incorrectly having this same barcode.
Yeah, I don’t have any way to check the barcode.
Here’s the thing with the track lengths:
#1-4 match other releases with the same recordings, no problem there.
#5-22 lengths match my CD, which matches the amazon.fr link I put in the annotation. But the track titles given DON’T match either of those (and some of the same tracks are listed, in different positions, so it’s not that they’re just titled differently).
#23-31 appear to be the same as the “Totenmasse” here (different translation of Requiem, from what I can tell), but the track lengths are all one track off. (Totenmesse - Introitus matches Missa pro Defunctis: Kyrie, etc)
So something’s screwy there, but we’ll probably never know exactly what.
I’m just too curious and now bought a CD from Ebay which matches with this barcode. I have no idea what CD will arrive because Ebay didn’t have any art or track titles. Only description was the name “Various : Musique Sacree CD”. Will update this topic when it arrives from UK to Finland.
Mystery solved! 3 CD box set arrived to Finland. It seems original editor added only first 2 discs and as separate releases. There was a little mess because tracklist printed on sleeve doesn’t match with disc content (CD2: 30 vs 32 tracks). I was able to fix the tracklist with the help of AcoustID and by listening and comparing to recordings found from other releases by the same artists.
