Murray Perahia's - really superb playing of the highest order. This is a Hamburg Steinway which has been recorded to perfection....(a nice rich, velvety, bell like sound)

Doug,

I have no music performed by Perahia. I am going to try one of his Partitas disc.

Stefan,

Brahem performing Astrakan Cafe was one of the best live music events I ever attended. I am sure that you will enjoy him a lot.

Disc II. Another very special Haenssler Classic recording.

Haim - I just received notice that my Jenny Lin / Shostakovich was put in the mail today. Should see it by Friday or maybe Monday and I can't wait! If it is as good as the Florian Uhlig I'm listening to right now then I'll be very pleased : )

I don't think I own a bad Haenssler CD by the way.

Doug,

Jenny Lin's Shostakovich is the only Haensller that I own so far. I have ordered a second one, another Jenny Lin disc playing the music of Valentin Silvestrov:

I am open to any recommendations.

From the B&W music club - Trio Goya



From B&W site:

"Trio Goya play Classical chamber music on period instruments. Formed out of a collective fascination with the new colours and narratives that these instruments suggest, the group concentrates its repertoire on the trios by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Storace and Schubert. Each a leading player of their instrument, they come from three very different parts of the world – America, Transylvania and England.

Their music-making is marked by a very lively exchange in which the idea of a fixed way of playing the classical trio repertoire has been replaced by one in which the aim is to uncover new possibilities.

Why the name Trio Goya? The working lives of all these composers were encompassed by the lifespan of Goya (1746 - 1828): his place in the development of painting is comparable to that of Beethoven in music, and the trio repertory follows the same Enlightenment path, from Classical elegance to Romantic expression."

Very good, on first listen, if via iPod

On vinyl.

I don't like not feeling well but it does have some advantages. A day in front of the system.

Working my way through a load of Analogue Productions 45 RPM Hoffman Remastered Vinyl.

These are expensive slabs of vinyl, but they really are something a little special and worth the outlay. Superb lush sound quality and a beautiful quality vinyl and packaging.

45 RPM

It's the same way up it was delivered. There are some markings on one side.

Cisco remastered Steely Dan Aja - considered a great pressing.

That's how it is. I am gradually getting better at trying to keep the mat on the TT when taking off a record.

Guitarist Abercrombie’s alliance with violinist Mark Feldman has proven to be an enduringly creative musical association: they have been playing and recording together for more than a decade now, starting with the “Open Land” sextet of 1998, and following with the quartet albums “Cat’n’Mouse”, “Class Trio “ and “The Third Quartet”. With “Wait Till You See Her” (named for the old Rogers & Hart show tune that Abercrombie plays so tenderly), the line-up of the quartet is adjusted to admit the excellent young bassist Thomas Morgan, whose adroit playing reveals a LaFaro-esque invention. As ever, the core team of Abercrombie, Feldman, and drummer Joey Baron play subtle, elegant and profound jazz.

A classic.

Just back from the library with a few including :-

Loud

Worth it for Ride On, alone.

Great service eh, Stu?

Another library offering:-
