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

Helge Lien Trio "Badgers and Other Beings" - a lovely album wich seems to flow along in a beautiful and calming way.

What did you think ?

I like it (two listens).   I always look forward to Ryan's music and somebody is playing some mighty fine guitar on this.  Saw him in Fall 2001 touring songs from Heartbreaker and Gold, great great show.

good listening

U2 "Songs Of Innocence"

first listen, free download at iTunes

Taking a rest from the 'FAB' Beatles Mono box with these two.

Both on Vinyl

Johann Sebastian Bach / Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach:  Lisa Batiashvili, François Leleux, Emmanuel Pahud, Sebastian Klinger, Peter Kofler, Kammerorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Radoslaw Szulc

Double Concerto for Violin, Oboe, Strings and Continuo in C minor BWV 1060R

Sinfonia in F major

Concerto for Violin, Strings and Continuo in E major BWV 1042

Sonata No. 2 for Solo Violin in A minor BWV 1003

Trio Sonata for Flute, Violin and Continuo in B minor Wq 143 - CPE Bach

Erbarme dich, mein Gott - Aria from St. Matthew Passion BWV 244 for contralto (performed on oboe d'amore), violin solo, strings and continuo

Gidon Kremer: violin
Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė: violoncello
Khatia Buniatishvili: piano

Two compositions bracketing the history of Russian chamber music. A revelatory account of Tchaikovsky’s piano trio op.50, juxtaposed with Victor Kissine’s “Zerkalo” of 2009, a work dedicated to performers Kremer, Dirvanauskaitė and Buniatishvili, and inspired by two lines from Anna Akhmatova: “The mirror dreams only of the mirror / Silence watches over silence.” With Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili and Lithuanian cellist Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė hailed as two of the most gifted players of their generation, this newest project from Gidon Kremer is certain to be one of the events of the season. (ECM)

Wand's Beethoven Cycle with NDR is still one of my fave.

So polished and beautifully transparent yet the guts of the content intact.

Ethan Johns "The Reckoning"

produced by Ryan Adams

Heart "Dog & Butterfly"

On CD:-

After seeing this posted several times here, listened to it yesterday afternoon on Spotify.  Gorgeous album.  My favorite thing I have heard with Emily.  Thank you.

Jenny Lewis "The Voyager"

WAV for a change...Remaster is a bit 'clean' sounding but not too compressed.

Just started listen to this:

Banks - Goddess

Very interesting so far

Hungry Lucy "Pulse Of The Earth"

Good music, it's a shame they decided to pack it in.

Discovered this on Spotify (maybe after seeing here) and have enjoyed it.  Anything similar you know of ?  Some of my moods this is perfect music for.  Reminds me a little of Gordon's (Voltaire) (and mine) fave Kari Rueslatten.

Hi Jeff, I found them here on this forum too. If you go to their website you will find more of their albums you can download for between $3 and $5. I have 'Pulse of the Earth', 'Apparitions', 'Before We Stand We Crawl' and 'To Kill a King'. They are all good and very similar to what you are enjoying now. Great value too if you are into downloading your music.

Enjoy

LP "Forever For Now"

Felt like listening to some Chris Smither. His albums are all good - this just happened to be one I picked from around 4 or 5 of his albums I have on CD and in my NAS:

A great blues singer/guitarist. Slightly dodgy vocals if you want to be pedantic, but a great act nonetheless. 

On Vinyl from the mono box:-

I agree, great artist, haven't heard that selection, will check it out.  Thanks for the prompt.
