During one of my occasionally successful trawls of charity shop music shelves this morning I came across a disc of Tucapsky choral works. I had, of course, never heard of him, but I'm sure some of you will have, and just possibly someone may have some uploadable work. On this disc (at the princely sum of £1 !) is 'The Sacrifice', 'Five Lenten Motets', 'Lauds' & 'The Seven Sorrows'. Looking on his website there are a good few substantial looking cantatas etc. which should be lovely, as are the short pieces I've subsequently found on YT. Got a Howard Skempton disc as well, and one of Max Reger organ works recorded in the Riga Dom. One of my better mornings - does anyone else have a scour through such shops from time to time ?

Does your purchase give any biographical details on him, such as dates and where he's from?

Thanks very much for reminding me of that CD, Roelof! I see there's also a Somm recording of his Stabat Mater and Cantata Mary Magdalene: There's also this Somm disc of some more of his choral/orchestral and orchestral works: Here's a MusicWeb review of the concertos disc: http://www.musicweb-international.com/classRev/2003/Nov03/tucapsky.htmDefinitely a composer I need to investigate! :)

I didn't know there were any CD recordings, but I have been curious to hear some of his own works after doing his adaptation of Janacek's 'Oce Nas' (Roberton) with several choirs. He certainly looks worth investigating.
