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:

I am not fan of Bach; piano either. I prefer this work on original instrument.

But  Gould makes here something very special.

No emotions; no any respect/care to any audience; no exhibitionism. Only pure music.

Highly recommended.

Who has no this CD set, can  listen on oldish Sony edition too.

Naims love this work.

Chamayou's complete Années de Pèlerinage, the whole thing in a single session. An amazing achievement, right now I don't think it can be done any better.

 

Cheers,

Night Beat 'Music On Vinyl'


The smooth sounds of Mr Sam Cooke. Perfect for a Christmas night.

Archive Produktion ( Historical Music Devision of Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft) of Brandenburg Concerti with August Wenzinger.

 

I am not too hip to *HIP* but this old recording ( recorded between 50-53) sounding absolutely fresh and gorgeous as if they are current release.

 

All Archive series vinyls come in a plain paper jacket but I love this *stats* card.

Vinyl. Last one before

Good God. This is a sort of Bach that is good to induce coma.
Munch's Bach is dead as this stilted cover photo. 

 

A serious same blandness happening in that I can't tell the one tune from the next.

CD. As requested by my partner and why not.

Its a great album as are the others of his that I have.
