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:

Not a huge fan of Supertramp but this double album is extremely well recorded.
Branford Marsalis - Renaissance.
Fantastic playing and a very long time since I listened to this last. Even the pause to remove a large lump of fluff from the stylus hasn't spoilt the experience.
Arrived today and I am most impressed:
steve
a little pre match listen (come on Arsenal!)
On CD:-
Disc 2
With Bonus trax.
Gold disc.
Some of the albums I have listened to in the last day or so.
Next up
Followed by
Puccini's triptych of 1-act operas in an effective modern recording. Tabarro and especially Suor Angelica are simply fantastic; the last opera, Gianni Schicchi, is Puccini's only comic opera, but has a wry sense of humor and isn't my favorite. It does include the famous aria 'O mio babbino caro' (o my dear father), exquisitly sung by Angela Gheorghiu, however.
Cheers,

Arrived in the post today
Vinyl.

I should get her Berlioz disc. It contains some Arias of Handel and hopefully they are not part of her disc solely dedicated to him:
Haim, she was an outstanding singer, but her Bach disc and the live recital from Ravinia add a poignancy, you can hear she had seen death up close and that it was coming for her soon, too as well.

EJ,
Unfortunately, I never got a chance to see her live.
