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:

This was a real departure at the time - one I still really enjoy. G

First PiL, now these. 1978 was a bit of a vintage year. Both on vinyl:

Had this album since its release in 2012. It never really grabbed me, however just gave it a spin and was really impressed with Roberts soulful voice & guitar playing.

@ Kevin W. Go on you know you want to...resistance is futile.

On CD:-
playing sides 13 & 14 from Philips 10 x LP box-set : )
Fünfzehn zweistimmige inventionen BWV 772-786
(Fifteen Two-Part Inventions)
It's that old major/minor ping-pong trick again, and it works on me every time.
Always find Isolde's play exceptionally stimulating, something to do with the unpredictability between the dynamic and the technical, and warts n all realism of an occasional dud string note on the old harpsic, really marvellous imho, nothing over-sanitized here.
Should enjoy my I.A. box sets more often, it's what they were made for : )
Debs
Something of a rarity, but actually a rerelease of - as far as I know - the first (ca 1952) comprehensive recording of Bachs keyboard works played on harpsichord. I used to own Vol. I containing the WTC, The partitas and the AoF. When I changed from LP to CD, I transcribed the WTC and the AoF to CD but parted with the partitas, which I - along with the French suites - found a tad too stiff and inflexible. I was also unhappy that she chose to omit all the repeats.
Some of the recordings can be purchased from the former Baroque Record club:

Thanks to Simon for reminding me how good she is and looking forward listen to her new album.
