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:

Mozart Symphony No.40: Abbado/LSO
Unusual DG Japanese pressing in 45 rpm.
Unlike other Japanese DG pressing I have from the 60s these Japan Polydor pressing sound is unbelievably good. Personally I never cared for Japanese pressing of Western records, but this pressing is excellent.
Wish they've made the 45RPM on my favourite Böhm or Lenny/VPO recording!
Accroding to the liner note, this record was produced in celebration for Abbado/La Scala Japan Tour in '81.
Another Stones LP that doesn't get enough credit for being as good as it is - Memory Motel and Melody are fave cuts from this one for me.
Thats the only Stones album I own and as far as I am concerned, that's enuf.
NOw I am trying to broaden my musical horizon, but boy, Enescu's piano sonata is tough.
Willie Nelson: Stardust
The only Willie album I own and enjoy about once a year.
For those of you who like Joe Bonamassa

Bishop/Davis' Mozart Piano Concerto No.21.
Upbeat opening followed by the placid famous slow movement. Then finished off with a big *bang* finale. Piano is singing along the orechestra. This is a very pretty, ellegant Mozart score. Bishop delivers clean yet expressive and dynamic performance. He's trying to loosen up for a change. Davis providing ever so genteel backdrop.
I still need to hear Gulda & Fisher's but so far I like this set.
