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:

An old and the new Pandolfo discs - both are excellent.

Debs,
Too much Pepsi is not good for you.
Too much Pepsi makes you burp! 
It's brightly lit and massed strings are thinner than I would like but generally ok historical broadcast quality sound.
Interesting comparison of studio vs. live of her Mozart No.20 which are recorded one day apart in the same venue. I prefer the live version.
On balance she comes off too demure and the orchestra is sounding too brash against her delicate performance.
Cracking record. And now less than $7 at Amazon Canada. I paid top dollar for this all those years ago.
on 2 x LP set : )
It's not Day of the Triffids!
But must admit it's very good and i it like very much : )

George,
I hope you bought the double with the Insignificance CD?
The double vinyl album is also brilliant.
Stu.
Bit of a theme going on here.

The two Op.27 sonatas from Arrau's complete set, recorded by Philips in the 1960s. Recording quality seems very good (for the time), but Arrau's huge sound was beyond the engineers' and recording equipment's capabilities - there is frequent congestion. But this is by far better than the alternative of a downsized recording (a la Kempff's two cycles).
