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:

Private Investigations was discussed in the other thread and I had to check if it really was that bad and it was not (sorry for those who do not appreciate Dire Straits).

 

 

 

On vinyl.

Russian pianists rule the day. Sudbin, Richter, Lubimov and Sofronitsky are awaiting their turn.

And a great dalliance it is.

I love this (double) CD it's a great ensemble.

 

Aleg, the Maurice Ravel recording is a single CD.  The Franz Schubert recording that I am listening to at the moment is the double CD.  


You're right of course.

 

\I didn't look close enough, but I still like them both!!

Good evening gents.

 

Just as an observation...are people round here listening to more classical music?

Hi kk

 

If you like BJT you'll love Super Black Blues. BJT is on form and the piano of Otis Spann just sublime. It was recorded just before Otis Spann died. I've never seen a reissue of this on vinyl, only CD, but a second hand original is only listed as £20 in Record Collector.

I think the mix of posters to this thread has been changing and there is therefore a lot more classical. I personally don't bother posting here too often now so you get a lot less of my music. However, I am listening to rather a lot of classical at the moment and reading posts from EJS, Florestan etc with interest.

A first listen with positive results to a pianist I was not familiar with prior to today...

Adrian,

I miss your input on here.

Your post on the Trio's thread will keep me going though

This room goes hours without a post now.

Before Hooples that was un-heard of.

Its a shame because the music room was all ways the best thing about this forum.

Stu.

Heard it already.

I like the EMI Marillion Official bootleg box set vol 2.

I didn't think i would? as there is no Fish.

Good live recordings.

Stu.

The Steve Hogarth Marillion is good also. Marbles is his best album.

I do enjoy looking for young or old musicians that I have never heard before.  It is somewhat like looking for diamonds.  Often it is someone on this forum that finds the diamonds for me and sometimes it is just pure luck.  Last year I started exploring the Manadelring Quartett on Audite and came across the Claire-Marie Le Guay on the Schumann disc.  For some reason I liked her playing very much right from the start.  Now with Volume 1 & 2 of the Haydn-Mozart done, I'm onto volume 3 probably tomorrow.  I just can't wait to hear her Liszt Vertiges album which is taking its sweet time arriving...
