On the Black!
Brand new LP12 installed today so a vinyl night. Back to the black at last!
Hope the picture is showing? It is so long since I posted on this thread!
Mark,
Nice one man.
Hope it sounds great on your new LP12?
It should do through your 552/300/ French Speakers that now own Naim
Just dug my vinyl set out to join you.
The latest from Kate Walsh, purchased at the Sage gig tonight and signed by the lovely Kate herself

I was too busy wrapped up in a massive hug with her I forgot to get my copy when I was at the show last week! You are right - she is lovely! I really enjoyed the new songs she played though. She is on in my home tomorrow night but I will be down in London for Nik Bartsch's Ronin. I would have gone again to see her if I had the chance.

One of my favourite albums, on vinyl!

Mark,
You lucky boy, I have had a few hugs from her at other gigs over the years, but was with the wife this time so I had behave myself.
You clearly have great taste. I'm hoping Nik Bartsch will be heading North again soon, I last saw them before they released Llyria. Absolutely excellent gig. Blew the mind of the friend who I took with me. We also had a long chat with all the band members afterwards, great evening.

Nic
Marillion - Marbles on vinyl.
Black stuff.
Piano sonata # 28
One of Pogorelich's best and most typical records: very individual, interventionist readings. Some would say Pogorelich inspired by Chopin but that would be shortchanging both the composer and the musician. Pogo pulls it off, this is pianism and music making to the highest standard.
EJ
One of my favourite albums too EJ. I am not quite sure how to interpret the term "interventionist" though? Do you mean he somehow messes with what Chopin should be like?
While I always hope that each musician is true to themselves and consequently, very individual, I find with Ivo Pogorelich that his interpretations, in the light of the score, are just so right. To me, it all makes such perfect sense when Pogorelich distills it for us but it always comes like a revelation and one thinks why they didn't see this so clearly pre-Pogorelich. Yes, he is a remarkable pianist and talent, in my opinion.
