What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Some illicit Zep for a sunny(ish) Sunday
Jonathan Plowright (Piano), Szymanowski Quartet
Quartet for Piano and Strings in C minor, Op. 61 by Wladyslaw Zelenski
Quintet for Piano and Strings in G minor, Op. 34 by Juliusz Zarebski
Two Polish composers that unfortunately had the odds set against them. Juliusz Zarebski (1854-1885) became a close friend of Franz Liszt in Rome and had such promise but died at the age of 31. Wladyslow Zelenski (1857-1921) mainly held prominent teaching posts but most of his music was either lost or destroyed.

Doug, does the recording sound a bit off balance with the SKI-less Jonathan Plowright?

Ballade for Piano no 3 in A-flat major, Op. 47

Luxembourger, Jean Muller, and a fine Chopin recital albeit, and I haven't made up my mind yet, whether he is on the other side of the warmth scale or closer down the middle.

Haim, despite this shortcoming, I think he holds his own here in this company. Maybe, in the past somewhere, his ancestors might have been Plowrightowski but they got tired of constantly being asked how do you spell that so they shortened it?
Vinyl:-
Thumpermonkey - Sleep Furiously
One the best albums I've bought recently and the most dynamic (check your rib cage kin loud) bands I've seen as well. I need to buy some attenuating earplugs before I seem them next 
. I think of this album as the Bonzos meeting King Crimson (Red era).

Live album from Anna Maria Jopek called Farat.
2CD Fatboy case 1st pressing. G
Bell X1 "Bloodless Coup"
one of my favorite bands, from Ireland, new album on the horizon in May. for now this will do just fine
Krips' 'Linzer'.
Tempo drops from Lenny's but dancing rhythm and unpretentious. Krips +co. seem to be having a great time with it.
Bought today......Brilliant!!
U2 "No Line On The Horizon"
Another little Irish band, Bono and Edge get all the attention but I have always liked the rhythm section laying down some nice grooves.
The Cairo Gang - The Corner Man
listen - http://emptycellarrecords.band...album/the-corner-man
Recommended by Graham (Quad 33) and I think Jeff Anderson would like this as well.
It's wonderful
