What are you listening to? (VOL VI)

I really like this. Very pretty piano playing, with just enough bite to keep it interesting.

Have to agree. By the way do not hesitate to get the new Charles Lloyd - really beautiful

Disc 2

On CD:-

First listen. A couple of days ago, I felt like browsing Amazon on the lookout for older albums which I never got around to checking out and took a leap of faith (well...)with this one and a few Pollini recordings I did not already have.
I greatly admire Pires and her instantly recognisable way of emphasizing the tune in everything she plays and creamy piano tone.

Lloyd's on my list, as I like what I've heard of it. I think I'll call it a day with Nik Bartsch unless you tell me the new CD is significantly different from his last two. The [em] live CD is a no brainer for me - one of the most forward thinking jazz acts out there right now.

Another first listen!

Bartsch is not that different. Playing [em] live again and it is sounding great on the system - very nice recording.

Earlier, streaming from the web. Left me cold.

Have to say, this is thrilling stuff! Pollini achieves an enormous sonority, partly by generous use of the pedal, and his technical command is still awe-inspiring. He is much less hard-driven than I expected from him in this music although still a master of timing. The recording is bit bass-heavy, another unusual characteristic for Pollini, but very clear (as in, I've seldom heard him vocalise along so clearly). Highly recommended!
