Phantom of the Panther
Run Around
One of the great winter journeys: Fassbaender's dramatic and intense 1988 recording, with Aribert Reimann.

Somebody's Gotta do it
Top draw modern jazz piano trio.
Rec. January 1999
"At its best, "These Are Soulful Days" feels like a lost classic from the Blue Note vaults, and that's the highest praise that can be said about a project like this". AllMusic.com
Dave
Not listened to this for some time. Great album
Runs "Stormcock" a close second. Side 2 is a masterpiece: a love poem to an England now long past.
Before attending Paul Lewis' Emperor Concerto tonight.
Tchaikovsky's last opera about the blind Iolanta, in a 90s studio recording from St. Petersburg. In the Kirov series, this is one of the best recorded and best sung entries. The music is glowingly beautiful but the story is episodic and dramatically shallow (but clocking in at a short 95 mins, it doesn't overstay its welcome).

from a shiny disc on my 555, sounding sublime.
Based on seeing it here & reading what others had to say - I had heard this in the past in college but I am glad someone brought it to the front for me.
The Beatles Anthology 1. On CD from 1995 (yes, it's been 20 years). These tapes are always fun to revisit. The energy, creativity, and quick maturation of the lads is striking on this first set of CDs.
Worth the qobuz streaming fee alone. A great discovery.

+ 1. Their Second album "First Pull Up Then Pull Down" is worth finding too.

Just clicked on buy now for the pair at eight quid on amazon.
Interesting fresh music, good start for the Sunday
CD Rip (FLAC) from my NAS:
Murray Perahia - "Chopin Etudes"
Classical music currently does not constitute a huge amount of my listening time, but it is impossible not to be moved by this music and the technical ability of Murray Perahia. To cap it all, these discs are beautifully recorded with no apparent dynamic compression.
A great way to return to my system from my Christmas holidays.
Triggered by the Winterreise Post
Cheers
