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.

It feels a tad reserved. I see that the Bernard Herrmann got an idea for Phycho shower scene soundtrack from this.
Valse Triste is nice, however.

Listened to Hough's b-minor several times over the last few days... technically very good, but just a bit too reserved for my taste. He fails to make the b-minor come alive.

P.S. My four year old doesn't enjoy it as much as I do. Not for everybody, then 
Excellent works and performances of one of music's less well known champions. If there is a composer to compare with Röntgen, it must be Rubinstein. Both composers wrote music inspired by the high romantics (Brahms, Tchaikovsky), but of variable quality, ranging from the forgettable to the inspired. For both, redemption and immortality rests in a few really good works, and for Röntgen, that included his first violin concerto.

It's good Graham. You should be able to get it on CD.

Thanks’ Steve ordered on CD.
Take care Graham.
Strauss' four last songs and two extracts from his operas, including a thrilling finale to Salome. Nina Stemme, at the peak of her powers at the time of this recording, has plenty of vocal beauty and power.

First play of debut album
I was recently able to get hold of this original copy recorded in 1968. Surprisingly nice music. Had to light joss sticks to really enjoy it though.

Don,
That is one valuable record worth about £300 in mint condition. Is it on the Head label? I have their most famous album 'Jug Of Love' which is highly sought after and is worth over £600. If I remember correctly this was reissued on vinyl by MOV fairly recently. It's a very laid back LP showcasing the guitar work of Martin Stone.
