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:

Bought this morning
Listening to Mutter's debut Mozart album for the first time.
This is lovely! Romantic Karajan and innocent Mutter. Perfect for these tunes. I love her adorable face in the cover shot, too.

Hi Raider,
I'm really enjoying it. The main problem is that I need to find time to sleep, I'll probably be meeting Santa tonight if I have my way. Might get dragged to bed again though
While I wait for Santa
Oistrakh's 'Turkish' Concerto.
It might be a tad dated but beautifully delineated lyrical lines particularly in soft passages.
Really diggin' this recent reissue of 3 albums in a boxset.
Great music and marvelous SQ : )
Debs
Oistrakh's 'Turkish' Concerto.
It might be a tad dated but beautifully delineated lyrical lines particularly in soft passages.
...and a pretty cool Alex Steinweiss cover!
Ramsey Lewis Trio's '56 debut album.
Already his classical/jazz/blues crossover style is present in a few tunes.
- "Carmen" (Georges Bizet) - 4:30
- "I'll Remember April" (Gene de Paul, Patricia Johnston, Don Raye) - 4:07
- "The Wind" (Russ Freeman) - 4:00
- "Bei Mir Bist du Schön" (Jacob Jacobs, Sholom Secunda, Sammy Cahn, Saul Chaplin) - 3:13
- "My Funny Valentine" (Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers) - 3:10
- "Fantasia for Drums" - 5:45
- "Dee's New Blues" (El Dee Young) - 5:45
- "Tres" - 4:45
- "Limelight" (Gerry Mulligan) - 2:17
Signing off.. Double vinyl. Merry Xmas!
Oistrakh's 'Turkish' Concerto.

Yep.
It reminds me of a few Starbucks illustrations from the late 90s early 2000.
Jeff Beck. Blow By Blow. On vinyl from 1975.
Brandi Carlile. Eponymous debut album on CD from 2005. Excellent!
The B-52's. Time Capsule: Songs For A Future Generation. On HDCD from 1998.
Because nothing says Merry Christmas quite like the B-52s.
Karajan/Berlin Phil's '61 recording.
Karajan's usual rich tonal overlays and legato voicing on chorus make the score somewhat dull.( or beautiful depending on one's perspective) Decent macro dynamics but how many times can I listen to a tidal wave engulfing the shore? Less tragic and more about inner piece, maybe. Oddly soprano sounds comforting at times.
Yep 3 different masterings of SF for a bit of research for some friends. Exhausting it was too and it continues with the same title today.
Japanese 1st mastering
SHM-Sacd
SHM 2013 mastering
and next week I have the original Austrian mastering and the US discs coming in.
Bill Deasy "Being Normal"
Brett Anderson "Black Rainbows"
