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:

Holly Golightly & the Brokeoffs - Medicine County
The Congos, Heart of the Congos. Moo!
Art songs by Debussy and others, sung with rather cloudy diction and reigned in emotions but typically creamy voice by Fleming and with good support by Thibaudet.

A touch of Sillyness is in order
Haim, I love this album. Pollini isn't after images, humor or other emotions, but with his classical approach nonetheless reaches the core of the music.

Another CD that I've bought in recent years as I never got round to acquiring it when it was first released
For me this for some reason always goes as a pair with the below:
On 80s reissue vinyl.
Yep, I'd totally agree! I have Goodnight Vienna (original 70's vinyl). My CD copy of Ringo took another twenty odd years to obtain!
Beautiful voice
on the black with khan and sounds brilliant
First listen on Kempff's Beethoven Sonatas.
He seems to be popular on this Forum so I picked it up to see what they are on about.
...........reasons to be cheerful!
(disc 2) 
Bought in a charity shop in Swaffham recently. 1st play
EJ,
You said it right. Pollini's Diabelli Variations is a nuclear engineering, going straight to the core.
My favorite Bob Belden interpretation of a popular artist. John Scofield can be heard through out the orchestrations.

A reminder of the last time I saw EC, with Jeff Beck at the 02 in February 2010
On vinyl:-
On Vinyl
The kind of guitar solos that brings tears to your eyes.
The Postmarks - By the Numbers
A bit of a Jimi fix while I patiently wait for my copy of "Blues" to arrive in the post!
On Vinyl nearly 30 years old , slightly crackly, but the grandeur of the sound is pure genius and a joy to indulge in.
A classic album that's just celebrated its 20th anniversary!
