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

Nice.... Steve did you catch the BBC 4 Blues America program on Friday. Part 1 How the early blues musicians used the latest media to bring their music to the public.Part 2 next Friday 'How blues conquered the world and the music moved from black to white audiences'. If not you can catch it on iPlayer its worth a look. Graham.

The Acorn "No Ghost"

Bruce Springsteen "The Essential......"

disc 1 of 3

Another of my market buys yesterday. Carl Palmer was the drummer on this first AR LP and there were signs of things to come with some classic Palmer drumming. Very enjoyable.

Johann Sebastian Bach:  Peter Kooy (Bass), Makoto Sakurada (Tenor), Robin Blaze (Countertenor), Yukari Nonoshita (Soprano), Masaaki Suzuki, Bach Collegium Japan 

BWV 26 "Auch wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig"

BWV 62 "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland"

BWV 116 "Du Friedensfürst, Herr Jesu Christ"

BWV 139 "Wohl dem, der sich auf seinen Gott"

Cold, snow, December, Christmas - just some of the conditions that make the music of J. S. Bach particularly apropos.  On the journey of the first Sunday of the Advent so we have three Cantatas associated with this day and they are BWV 36 "Schwingt freudig euch empor", BWV 61 "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland", and BWV 62 "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland."

Capturing the spirit of music with a lively recorder playing. Verbruggen has another excellent Bach disc performing alongside Mitzi Meyerson on the harpsichord.

Of course not. What was I thinking? You are after all Dr Blues! Take care G

Very loud - on vinyl   Home alone 

Trying to get into this but I have to admit as yet its not really happening for me, just doesnt seem to connect with me but will give it a few more plays before I make my mind up, it could be a grower...unlike their first two albums which I instantly loved

First listen.
