Triple vinyl...

'Concrete Love' by Julia Fordham - Foolish Thing.

 

I've been having a bit of a Julia fest this evening. It's ok though, she knows I love her!

Selected tracks...

Heitor Villa-Lobos - Bachianas Brasileiras. Box Set.

 

May appeal to Bach aficionados, but then again, may not. .

There's not many 3 CD box sets I can listen too from start to finish, but this is one I can, never tire of listening to it.

Yep. One of my favourites too.

Needed something soothing this evening. This album usually does the trick.

Great Album. If you don't mind may I ask where did you buy this?

Hi Larry. Got it from Amazon UK  £8.66p a heads up from Steve J on this forum last week. Sorry for the late reply just seen your post.

 

Graham.

Graham,

 

No worries for the late reply. This is one of my favorite NY albums. My copy is old and well used. It is time for a replacement. I'm was hoping for the reissue in April but I just read it has been postponed.

 

Thanks,

 

Larry

Agreed! One of my all time favourites.

The Four Orchestral Suites [of JS Bach] are hardly to be considered as "For a young Prince!"

 

They are Universal.

fatcat - do tell me more; I am very familiar with his work as transcribed for classical guitar, but the rest of his body of work, not so much.

Larry,

Is it the Record Store Day NY release you are referring to? Or is there going to be another single LP release of Zuma?

It is probably an old copy of the original release of the vinyl Joe as the RSD version has been delayed till later in the year as Neil has other projects he wants to work on.

Horowitz's Chopin ('50 recording ) is bold and angular with precise note delivery. Animated, showy and distinctive.  This is not a run of the mill willy-nilly Chopin. Rather, hot blooded and full of human emotion pouring out of the keys like a temperamental artist having a hissy fit. A highly entertaining and intense Funeral March. Extremely heavy handed but Horowitz' creative interpretation in full force.

Savoy Brown - Blue Matter on vinyl.
