Ray Lamontagne, Trouble on CD. A wonderful album with great SQ. Low volume and a cool way to end the day.

Very much agree with that assessment.

Interesting young trio, gives you a bit of the Mehldau type of feel....

I listened to an interview with Igor Levit on Radio 3 recently, during which they played some of this album. Wonderful.

Any idea if you can get this as a hi-res download?

Rush, Signals, their ninth studio album and the introduction of synths.  An album I wasn't keen on in 82 but that I now recognise as a classic and one that includes the poetic and wonderful Losing It.  24 bit flac via audirvana/hugo

Richter/Oistrakh: Brahms Violin Sonata No.3

 

Change of weather prompted me to listen to burnished coloured Brahms and dark Schubert.

A driven, full-on Dvorak - Isserlis has magical moments, but the cumulative impact of this recording does not match, say, Rostropovitch / Giulini (EMI) or Wispelwey / Renes (Channel Classics). 

 

Cheers

Did some listening into new music this morning. This one is indeed a very goid one, it will land on my buying list..

 

 

Posted on: 10 September 2015 by Bert Schurink

A bit untypical for him, a traditional piano trio album, decent...however mot exiting enough to land on my buying list...

 

 

Posted on: 10 September 2015 by Bert Schurink

Would not switch it off when I would hear it again it's quite nice, but just not my type of music.....

For breakfast, a very interesting album, great artist...

Change of weather prompted me to listen to burnished coloured Brahms and dark, yet absolutely beautiful music full of life and passion that is really even better if you listen to a cello / piano version  Schubert.  of Franck (although the violin rendition is probably more standard and popular ).

 

Sorry Kuma.  I don't know what came over me but I could not resist. 

 

How are Oistrakh and Richter in this recording?

To be frank I wasn't really expecting too much of this when it came out, I'm pleased to say that I was happily surprised. I think its been over eighteen months since I have played it so I am reacquainting myself.

Hi Nigelb, I would guess so, but I use CD. Would be cool to hear in Hi Res. The CD is really very good though. Simon.
