Die Zauberflöte - first time to listen in English

My wish lists (eyes) have always been larger than my wallet (stomach).  Clifford Curzon has been on this list for years and finally I am getting around to going through his Decca recordings.  As is mostIy the case, I am only sorry I didn't do this sooner.   After I spend a lot of time with Curzon, my next goals will be Artur Schnabel, Adolf Busch and Myra Hess.

After a great deal of Brahms, I will end this with Schubert's Quintet for Piano and Strings in A major, D 667/Op. 114 "Trout."  This is Curzon with members of the Vienna Octet from 1957.  Perfection.

The Moody Blues

Reubs, I'm guessing you've heard this...

"This weekend while you were popping off fireworks or doing whatever drugs you do for America, popular rap artist Tyler, The Creator put together a Summer-oriented mixtape while wheelchair-bound and in the trenches of a European tour. Tyler, whose musical tastes tend to be rigidly defined yet completely unpredictable, offers a pretty molecular breakdown of his influences: Neptunes, neo-soul, Toro Y Moi, Neptunes, more Neptunes, Stevie Wonder, Grizzly Bear, Tupac, N.E.R.D., James Pants, etc. He also drops a preview of his own, as yet unheard, “Analog Pt. 2″ and brings back the most underrated song in the Odd Future catalog, Domo Genesis’ crawling "Drunk".

If you are the type of person who loved Jill Scott’s “A Long Walk” when you were a teenager but then buried that feeling in the deepest corners of your brain because you didn’t want your friends to realize how soft you were and then left it there for ten years, you might experience some weird but oddly satisfying emotions when listening to this mix. Not that this happened to me or anything. I’m just saying."
