There are two miniature tabla's in the box set!

A wonderful birthday gift from a colleague a couple of years ago.

Just finished disc 1. Now on to disc 2!

Still in a mood for things eclectic:

Dug out Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun from the CD collection.

This goes on after Zakir Hussain.

There are two things that sound really alive on the Supernait: First, Charlie Haden's double bass, and second, Zakir Hussain's tablas. Just like having them in one's living room. Now what if I only had that 500 series combo ... hmmm?

now playing:
Melissa Etheridge "Fearless Love"


Kings of Convenience "Declaration of Dependence"

Keith James and Rick Foot "the songs of Nick Drake"

EJ,

Yes, very much so. I never heard of Jean Barriere before Huw had recommended this disc and I play it quite often these days:

I just received three days ago David Fray's Moments Musicaux:



I hope that you found time to listen to music with all the soccer games of the day.

Haim,
How did you like the David Fray Schubert? I like both Helmchen and Fray even though they are both very different players. I really like Helmchen in Schubert and especially the three minor key pieces in Moments musicaux. On the other hand, Fray is more romantic and individual and I really like the three major key pieces in Moments musicaux. The reason is he takes his time with them and plays them quite a bit slower.

I'm squeezing a little football in but my ears/soul still needs nourishment. Even if I don't always have time to sit down exclusively to listen to music I usually have something playing in my head.

More vinyl....

Gabriel Fauré: Jean-Philippe Collard (Piano) - Nocturnes and Barcarolles today

Haim, do you have any of Fauré's piano music? I think you would really like some of the Nocturnes - especially the earlier ones. Although, different from Chopin's, I think you might really like at least the earlier ones. The later ones are more sparse and remind me more of later Liszt.

I like them so much that I recently ordered a few other recordings played by Germaine Thyssens-Valentin, Sally Pinkas, Charles Owen. Eventually I'll pick up several others that are recommended. If you're interested stay tuned in a couple of weeks....

Angus and Julia Stone "Down The Way"

On Spotify...




Bit sad really, I've got the CD but can't be bothered getting up to put it on, hence Spotify

John Hiatt "Open Road"
