Bach: Die Kunst der Fuge,
Charles Rosen: piano.
Sony midprice doubleCD coupled with some Bach played by R Tureck.

Even if he can´t convict me to think Bach should be played on piano, this is a marvellous performance.

'Hal' by, er Hal! Great summery melodic album bursting with tunes. Could be the soundtrack to the summer.

'1972' Josh Rouse, different to Nashville, I think I like it even more despite it being quite un-country.

'Blinking Lights...' Eels. Long, varied, needs work to appreciate. Cannot get the two above off the CD player for long enough yet.

Bruce

Reduced and half price

Buddy Guy The Complete DJ Play My Blues - BG in fine form.

Fairport Convention Angel Delight - Without Richard T but still good.

The word "directing" is commonly used, when the artistic leader plays an instrument in the ensemble himself, e.g. directing from the violin or from the harpsichord.

The word "conducting" is used, when the artistic leader does NOT play himself, but just swings or sweeps his hands or a baton in front of the playing members of the ensemble.

Still in exile?

You must give up those loudspeakers and return to Denmark.

Thanks that makes perfect sense.

Sir,

In the spirit of international goodwill and clarification in these difficult times:

My place of exile is dejligt Danmark.

My former home (and birthplace) was the UK.
(Though I have always felt "united" seemed an obtuse exaggeration)

"Give up those loudspeakers" sounds as if you don't approve of a bad habit. Like wife beating, drug abuse, smoking or alcoholism.

Loudspeakers are a really a matter of taste and not yet a sin. (unless more expensive than one can afford and still feed the family)

Since I make no claims to the other four great sins. I feel I should be allowed some (perceived) weakness in the loudspeaker department.

Would you prefer I returned to my Kans? And, perhaps more importantly, why should I care to?

Regards
Nime

Mr Nime,

Please note, that I wrote "give up" the speakers, not "dispose of".

As Denmark is a small country, where the neighnours almost always live just around the corner, and subwoofers like yours might be difficult to use to full advantage without disturbing the neighbours, I presumed - but certainly unjustly -, that you had fled to the endless widths of foreign countries for the sake of these subwoofers and lived in exile in e.g. USA. I didn´t(don´t) possess the imagination to picture to myself - in the broadest sense of the term, that an englishman might live in Denmark and call this "in exile".

But I now understand you remark: "My english may be better than your danish", and even more I understand the spelling of your name "Nime", which might well be the pronounciation of "Naim" in certain parts of London.

I don´t regard obsession with speakers as a sin. As to your four other sins, don´t you know, that the greatest sin of a man uses to be the one, he doesn´t make claims to?

Kind regards,

Sir,

If one is to seriously exercise a competent subwoofer, one should:

a) Live rural detached. (which I do)

b) Have nearest neighbours who represent a far greater hazard to one's hearing (and sanity) than one can manage alone.

I have visited London four times, but briefly. Your assumption of a Cockney accent being involved with my use of the term "Nime" is thus completely unfounded. I am simply not that quick a learner.

I have no sins. That would assume the total illogicality of some religious belief. I consider myself endlessly fortunate that my limited reasoning has yet to descend to quite that level.

This is an odd conversation for the Music Room(?) I was just passing through on my way to somewhere else.

Regards
Nime

Mr Nime,

Hmm

Well you are right. That conversation belongs otherwhere.
But this thread may run the risk of becoming too monotonous and
repetituous, if the members just write about their latest CDs
and nothing else.

Regards,

Err...I think that's the point of this thread.

Beethoven Piano Concertos 1-5 Weissenberg/ Karajan.

Bloody marvellous! And I don't even like Beethoven!

"Die 5 Klavierkonzerte Berliner Philharmoniker.(German EMI DRM 1989 (3Cds box) £2 CDs in immaculate condition at my favorite flea-market.

The last CDs that I bought were:

Throbbing Gristle - Live December 2004, A Souvenir of Camber Sands. (2 CDs)

Didn't get to the atp myself, so a nice keepsake / musical journey.

AHEAD OF ITS TIME

Tomorrow, Tomorrow; 1999 CD reissue of brilliant psychedelic gem which, in my view, holds up well alongside Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the Moves' first album, S.F. Sorrow, A Whiter Shade of Pale, Days of Future Passed, Odessey and Oracle and other deathless works from the late 60's. Features the guitaring of Steve Howe, pre-Yes. Also tracks from The Aquarian Age (Tomorrow spin-off) and Keith West.
