What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)

Emerging Into Bach:

Satyricon on vinyl full analogue from recording to mixing to mastering

45rpm double vinyl

War of the Worlds on CD

Rhys Marsh - Suspended In A Weightless Wind - Covers, Volume 1

Things Behind The Sun - https://www.burningshed.com/st...ds/product/467/5097/ 

First play - Wonderful singing & arrangements. The voicing of the Scott Walker song, Winter Night, is carried over into, Crimsons, Moonchild. Totally unexpected and wonderfully recorded. I hope there are more covers to be released.

Seeing Gill tonight for the album launch. To my ears, the variety and quality of this CD is better than, Dear River, from Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo.

Another fabulous PB album : )
I've been waiting for my copy on order with Amazon uk £31.66 [the price has gone up since].

They suggest it will be October delivery.

Really looking forward to this on vinyl, have the CD already.

What's the vinyl quality like?

Debs

On 80's re-issue vinyl.

I love everything about this album. Sankt Otten  'Gottes Synthhesizer'  the artwork, the music -a series of melodic synth tracks that have a tone and texture-, the SQ and the splatted red & grey vinyl. One of my best buys of 2013 and there has been a lot!

 Double Vinyl...Also available on CD.

Hi Graham,

Seeing Gill @ The Green Note, Camden. The band is Gill, Ted Barnes, Anna Jenkins and Jo Silverston. There may also be a special guest or two!

I bought the full monty set from Emily. The vinyl is due to ship next month, but unsure of a date.

Haim, you have to quit scaring me like this.  Here I am thinking that Volodos has a new recording out and also that you have a just released new disc?  I'm sure now this is his 2001 Schubert recording?  I really hate when record companies change album cover photos for a re-release.  I rely heavily on the visual aspect of a disc to aid in my memory and keep what I have straight.  

Peace at last: Note to self-this and the above are the same.

My search through my discs this morning looking for this elusive, rare cover brought streams of wonderful memories and music that I haven't thought of for maybe a year or two.

First, I have a soft spot for this album and this transcription in particular:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?f...ge&v=3UvhZaKkyDc

Second, is a Rachmaninov transcription of the Andante from the Cello Sonata.  I have just started doing the ground work on this movement as I will be learning it over the next months.  His transcriptions and his playing of standard repertoire share the same remarkable characteristics.  A very sharp mind and the ability to focus on and mine out the salient features of the music.  Often, without work, you miss that two or three things are going on simultaneously.  Here he remarkably winds melody, countermelody seamlessly on top of a wonderfully complex backdrop - simply amazing.  WIth ten fingers he is doing the ultimate chamber music as he is one with himself but there are many (players) of him, if you know what I mean and he can control the outcome.  When I play this with a cellist it is my world versus her world and the two shall never (or rarely) ever meet.  

This transcription gives me wonderful ideas of and just expands the confines/limitations of Rachmaninov's original yet the two are the same.  In either case, simply remarkable music to experience.

Franz Liszt: Orgelwerke (Organ Ladegast from the Schwerin Cathedral 1871)

Yves Rechsteiner (Organ), Amandine Beyer (Violin), Monique Simon (Mezzo Soprano)

Präludium & Fuge for organ on B-A-C-H, S260

Saint Paul, Op. 36: Jerusalem, die du tödtest die Propheten Paulus by Felix Mendelssohn

Lied ohne Worte für Violine & Orgel, vol 2, Op. 30: no 1, Andante espressivo in E flat major by Felix Mendelssohn 

Variations for Organ on "Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen", S 673

Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244: no 47, Erbarme dich by Johann Sebastian Bach 

Fantasy and Fugue for Organ, S 259 "Ad nos, ad salutarem" 

The wonderful Erbarme dich is as always, very special and all one really needs to understand one very important aspect of who the man, Bach, was.  The connection to the music comes from the fact that we each have a soul that can find the same elements of beauty or sadness or any human emotion that Bach did.  We simply need to work at it and allow ourselves to go to those dark corners we often avoid.  Turn off all the things we allow ourselves to be distracted by and in quietness approach the music.
