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:

As old and cheesey as me and my hat, but I still love it.
Nice Saturday afternoon in the company of
The Police "Zenyatta Mondatta"
Really enjoying this - well worth a listen.
Faure, Chopin, Dvorak, Mozart, Schubert & Mahler arranged for a jazz piano trio. Roland Hanna with his classical music training doing wonders with his piano playing.
Van Morrison "The Best of Van Morrison, Volume 3" disc 1
On CD:-
Just finished: Chatham County Line - Wildwood
Now: The Little Willies - For The Good Times
First listen to both. Have earlier Chatham County Lines and this fits in nicely. Saw The Little Willies on David Letterman in the past month or so. Lineup includes Norah Jones, Richard Julian, Jim Campilongo, Lee Alexander, and Dan Rieser.
Agnes Milewski "Pretty Boys and Ugly Girls"
Vladimir Ashkenazy's second complete recording of the Rach piano concertos, my favorite performances of these works.
Cheers,
EJ
Nos. 1 & 3:
Finally, it came! After picking a poor vendor who did not delivery in 5 weeks time I ordered from elsewhere and it came in 9 days. I am very pleased but then I expected this as I like the playing of Claire Marie Le Guay. Recording quality is very nice as well.
I am not an Ives fan but I have always liked Hilary Hahn. My real interest here is in Valentina Lisitsa. She plays a Bosendorfer and I think she is a name that you will hear of more and more. This year she will be releasing a Liszt recording which I can't wait for (both CD and on Vinyl!!)
Anais Mitchell "The Brightness"
Picked up this wonderful mono recording at oxfam for £6.00. Marvellous stuff.
Faure, Chopin, Dvorak, Mozart, Schubert & Mahler arranged for a jazz piano trio. Roland Hanna with his classical music training doing wonders with his piano playing.
A-may-zing cover...
Bill Deasy "Being Normal"
Kenny Loggins "Celebrate Me Home"
2nd hand vinyl. Sounds wonderful
Aleg, thanks for the reminder. I have Beethoven's Cello Sonatas lined up next in the queue this morning.
Enjoy the Betthoven sonatas. It's a lovely piece of music.
I just love this Qobuz webshop, I discover a lot of great recordings and they have frequently some very nice offers as well.
