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:

Stu,

 

I have tried Mojo this month following the tragic closure of The Word. Like you I am happy with it plus the CD is a great compilation, like something my mate David would have put on cassette for me.

I went through a phase of buying Car and then Hi-Fi World before giving up on magazines for a bit.

 

But when The Word appeared it was just soon much better than anything else I just got back into buying it.

 

Mojo does feel a bit like a grumpy old man's comic but as that is what I have become then I guess it's OK for me.

Disc one from this box set of three CDs that can be had for next to nothing now.

Some good tunes.

Second disc, with sonatas 6, 7 and 10. Now, I've never regarded this music as top tier Beethoven but these two musicians go some way to change that opinion. For example, they play the second, slow, movement of #6 amazingly tenderly, and then slip into 3. at just the right tempo. A bittersweet story instead of the usual angry and fiercely accented approach commonly heard in these works.

Wonderfully sensitive playing...

Bruckner's symphony #8, in the series from Orchestre Métropolitain and Nézet-Séguin. Another beautiful production.

Guitar fans may want to check out Santana's new one, Shape Shifter, a real return to form. No guest vocalists or pop crap, just mind melting bliss. Pretty good SQ too.
