Posted by: AL4N on 13 March 2004
so to get things off and running
queen--the highlander sound track
after the good experiences completed almost my collection of her:
A rather eclectic mix of CDs
This was a bargain at $3 at the local symphony fund raising sale.
Rest were purchased new.
The Pixies Indie Cindy album
on high res...
on high res...
So many similarities in our collections - Julia Fischer, Paul Bley and Omar Sosa
Historical interest only.
I found the premier recording of Prokofiev's Symphony-Concertante Op.125 played by Rostropovich and Sviatoslav Richter as a conductor! Apparently this was the only recording that exists Richter conducting.
Some say the Richter/Rostropovich paring has more energy than the Sargent/Royal Phil. This would be interesting.
Still chipping away at Britten. Some audiophile label but I like Van Beinum. Let's see how he does Four Sea Interludes...
This CD was so good, I went out and bought the (45rpm) vinyl
More recent recording of Op.125.
Some early Aimee Mann song writing. As mention a week or so ago a strong CD of admittedly pop(ish) songs. I'm thinking lighter version of Heart or Martha and the Muffins. Thanks TonyM.
made the big step bought the big Liszt collection and some other albums from Hamelin and Hewitt....now for hours downloading....
From the local symphony fund raising sale. $1,50 each
New from the shop

..very oftten people who have music as a hobby have a broad collection and have borthers in arms who have a similar taste - always interested in new suggestions of what I don't yet have....
Drive By Truckers - English Oceans
Wishbone Ash - Illuminations
Awaiting the delivery of - Lazuli: Tant Que L'HEerbe Est Grasse
Sometimes, it's amusing to listen to a CD that received a scathing reivew to see what the critic is on about.
Per Allmusic review:
While the performance is adequate, it simply lacks the extreme precision of rhythm and articulation that characterizes superior renditions. The string section of the orchestra plays with great gusto, but the same cannot be said of the brass, who seem weaker by comparison. Intonation in tutti wind sections is problematic at times, further detracting from the sense of meticulousness. Maybe there really is something to be said about Shostakovich's symphonies being performed by Russian orchestras.
Ouch!
