No background listening..
Perfect vibe for this wild Spring morning.

Really good album
Acquired this based on the recommendations here. First real listen and and really enjoying.

During my workout I was listening to this. An acoustic guitar duo. People who would just buy it on that reference, might be in for a surprise. While there are quite a number of places with the typical acoustic guitar duo sound with a bit of a Latin feel. However there is also some quite heavy guitar playing in this.....I would say it's almost hard rock on acoustic guitar, while that's also not an accurate description. It's loud, with heavy groove and very enjoyable. For those who are now interested - just listen for yourself on bandcamp....
The 2nd album of the guys I listened to during my workout.
Shelby Lynne "I Can't Imagine"
newest release - first listen

A legend!
First run
Still on Cluyten's Ravel: Le tombeau de Couperin
CD rip via Hugo. My favourite RP solo album.
This is not Michelangeli's famous EMI recording in the UK in the studio. This *bootleg* quality recording happened on the same year and the month ( Mar. 1957 ) but recored live in Milan with
Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano della RAI and the same conductor ( Ettore Gracis ).
Aside from the horrendous recording quality, the performance is expressive and spontaneous. Pacing is quite a bit faster than the EMI studio version and personally I think it's a much tighter performance. Timing is just spot on making every other recording of this piece dragging on their heels.
Gracis leads the Mlian Orchestra Mravinsky-like precision and authority.
There is a certain electric feel only possible with recording, perhaps.
Lute works by Sylvius Leopold Weiss played by Eduardo Eguez.
I love this record!
Blue Horizon vinyl
Another of the latest guitar gods. So much talent for one so young.
Blind Pilot "We Are The Tide"
Love this local band. They certainly take their time with their recordings. The first was 2008. This, the second, was 2011. I am anxious for the third, but no notice when that will be. If you like Kings of Convenience, this is similar.
A great compilation album. So atmospheric.
