Not high res like the ones before, but defintely on the same level or beyond from artistic point of view...
The Art of Grumiaux was outstanding and with a violin sound no one else have had.
That makes him special. Love his BACH!

From the mono vinyl box as I fancied some Fabs at noon:
I'm waiting for my cd copy 
First time I've ever listened to this. Bought it recently from FOPP for just £3.00 (there has never been a better time for buying CDs). Quite a change from his earlier material.
Balladeering, Chopin & Brahms.
I only played this glorious LP of mono singles and B-sides yesterday, but enjoyed it so much I'm going to revisit it again:
Just had a visit from grown-up son this morning who was a little put out to discover that 'dad' has this album too. He listens to his MP3 version on Beat headphones played through an iPhone. Invited him to listen to my CD on my system. Think he now knows what Royal Blood can really sound like. Yes, it's got some real bass! 
Johann Sebastian Bach: Joshua Bell, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, BWV 1041
Violin Concerto No. 2 in E major, BWV 1042
Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004
Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068
Gavotte En Rondeau from Partita for violin Solo No. 3 in E major BWV 1006
Early morning nourishment for the day.
Alexander Scriabin: Garrick Ohlsson (Klavier)
Complete Poèmes
This this has been in my in tray for some time, right time if the year to listen.
........anyone out there with a bit of Irish in you?
SJB
Is that Irish fishing, John?
The photograph is titled "Passage".
I've being trying to think how to describe the music contained on this album, the best that I can come up with is if ECM were asked to put out a contemporary Irish music album, this is what one would imagine it would sound like.
It's actually on Real World Records so no slouch of a label either.

Vertigo Swirl vinyl.
Original vinyl.
Vertigo Swirl vinyl.
An excellent album. Indeed a classic

Hmm. Might give that a go, John. Intrigued by an album with a song "Hunting the Squirrel"!
It's in superb nick. 
Now..
