What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011
With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Aleg,
How is the Schubert? I have been listening yesterday and today to Carolin Widmann playing the Schumann violin sonatas.
Hello Haim
It is very good and some reviewers in the French HiFi-press classify it as a reference disk.
I only had one listen yet, but I like it very much.
Recording quality is also (one could say "of course") stunning.
I can recommend it without hessitation.
BTW. I also like the Schumann very much. Widmann is doing very nice things for ECM

Aleg,
Thanks for the recommendation. This recording received excellent reviews in US as well. I am also a big fan of Alexander Lonquich since I heard his Plainte Calme disc of French composers (Faure, Messiaen and Ravel).

Sorry Debs,
The original sings it for me with the SHM coming a close second and the box set third.
Now this.

But you don't know and can't say that now because you gave away the best 2xcd remaster away to ex-wifey.
Lucky her i say! : P

You should stick to the black stuff, Stu

On nice original near mint CBS vinyl purchased last week for a quid : )
A six years old misplaced purchase, found today in its original sealed wrap. First spin.
Ronnie Montrose (guitarist) passed away earlier this month - here's a heavy rock classic that deserves more attention.
The band's first and best

Any reason for them almost copying JM Jarre Chants Magnetique cover art?
I'll ave a word see what he's got to say for himself. He'll be mortified when he finds out he's been rumbled

Robert Fripp’s Soundscapes, Live 2010 - Parts 1 & 2 + Interviews...
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/newsounds/2010/dec/22/
Fripp set up in the secular cathedral of the World Financial Center for a two-day residency in early December of 2010 and we’ll hear part of a live performance recorded on December 4, along with John Schaefer’s interview.
A couple from Underworld.
Denis, the Fripp sounds interesting.

Jamie,
I saw Robert perform soundscapes twice. Once, when he opened for Porcupine Tree @ The Junction, Cambridge (Deadwing premier) and secondly @ Norwich Cathedral. The PT crowd were too noisy & impatient to listen but, the Cathedral performance was magical. I downloaded a podcast performance he released of Starless, but stupidly deleted it from my Desktop. I hope he performs again, but unlikely with KC I think (not economic in the UK).
