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:

Gave this a try after seeing it in one of the "if you like <x>, you may like <y>" Amazon suggestions. First listen.
Well, for my first dip into Mozart's symphonies, he's proving to be a convincing advocate for this music! I may look further into other recordings to get my bearings, but won't be surprised if this is the set I will keep returning to.
EJ,
Have you tried Böhm's ( later set with Vienna Phil ) or Lenny's (with Vienna Phil) Jupiter?
Grover Washington, Jr: The Best is Yet to Come
the new re-issued
At that time Savall organized to perform/record it at Santa Barbara church in Mantoua - one of the suspected original first-performance-places.
Very-very strong reference record although there are many really good others; delivers not only excellent music and sond quality but strange effects and feelings too.
On my set a good copy of the first edition outperforms the newest original one.
Andrew Bird - Break It Yourself
First listen.

This is one of my favorite John Stewart albums. The album contains a great combination of catchy tunes, thoughtful ballads, and insightful ruminations on society. If you are new to John Stewart this is a good place to start. The Complete Phoenix Concerts album is also excellent.

Thanks Graham. It looks like it's getting rare/collectible on CD. I've long had a hankering to get some of JS's music and have bagged an original CD from the States for sensible money.
