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:

A Rach moning
Have attended a wonderful live concert by her last Saturday.
This is one artist who combines great virtuosity with a huge sense of musicality.
I will see her again if I can.

Chords,
You should try this delightful Glossa recording:
Thank you, searching has started.
Joining Chords with another early Pandolfo disc. My own copy has a slightly different cover and includes a "limited edition" second disc with the Couplets de Folies.
Cheers,
EJ
Well,
arriving to Pandolfo's best:

Music looks like exactly as the artwork: non-usual; colourful; a bit humorous; very-high-level and free, enormously free.
Pure Early Music, amongs the best ones.
And great hifi-reference-disc too.

On vinyl - 1st pressing
On CD:-
Disc 1
Battle of the grieving ladies... after listening to both discs today, I have to say that, with all due respect to the considerable talents of Mrs. Kozena, she is out sung by Von Otter by quite a margin.
Cheers,
EJ
EJ,
yes, both ladies have excellent voice.
But a real miracle appears for me rather here:

Another class I think.
And please sorry I am not fan of Musica Antiqua Köln; Goebel's ochestra and Early Music - not good together.
Traffic.......
i remember buying this back in 1968 as if it was just yesterday...and I still love it!
...and Steve still has the mud of the country on his boots,

Hi Chords,
Regarding Goebel and Musica Antiqua Köln, I think he did quite a good job on both discs. After his health troubles around 1990 or so he was no longer as energetic as he used to be but still a force to be reckoned with.
That said I fully agree with your advocacy of Sara Mingardo, one of the supreme altos of our age. And supported by Alessandrini no less!
Cheers,
EJ
On White Vinyl
Live In New York [VINYL]
Rhino Records have done a fantastic SQ job on this album.
Graham.
1971 - First pressing. Although not a great fan of the band, this is one of their best efforts, best line up IMHO and that bloke doing what he does best- play the drums- and quite good he is!
On CD:-
On the black stuff..
Also, earlier today...
On CD.
Not played this album for sometime. Adam Cohen son of Leonard has got a great voice,he's also a gifted lyricist (just like dad).
