What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)

I'm listening to Ryan Adam - gold

for today.

Can you guys recommend to me which classical album to look for. I'm looking for soothing kind of music/musical, like SENS-forbidden love, Taro Hakase, Hajime Mizoguchi,Tuck Andress.

I'm looking for minimal musical instruments like Cello & Piano or Piano with guitar.

Today's purchase. As always, Rubalcaba stuns with his mastery.

Working my way through this Janacek collection as recommended by Tam (thanks) and it is superb value for money. I also have Simon Rattle's interpretation of the Cunning Little Vixen, but this performance sounds far more cohesive and engaging to me. It sounds like Sir Charles Mackerras's aim was to bring out exactly what Janacek is about from his performance, whereas as Rattle seems to want to stamp his personality on it. Also the recording is more fluent and natural. If I hadn't heard this then I'd be very content with Rattle's version, but as I have heard this - there is no going back.

I've also been listening to 'From the House of the Dead' on this same set, which I didn't know before and it is really expressive. There is something very appealling about Leos Janacek.

Tonight in the car:

Virginia Rodrigues / Sol Negro / Hannibal

Frank Black (and the Catholics) Dog in the sand.

It's an utter travesty the way his solo work has been ignored. More raw talent than any of his contempories.

This album recorded straight to 2 track live, in about this week in 2000.

Haim,
it's great isn't it?

Currently, the Takacs Qt. playing Bartok

Hand on the torch - Us3



New Blue - sampler from Blue Note records

Frank Bretschneider - Looping I-VI

Rotf - Glad you're enjoying the Janacek. If you're anywhere near the area, Mackerras is doing Makropulos Case at ENO in May/June.

Huw - Some great music in there isn't there (I may have to give them a listen later).

Currently listening to Uchida playing Schubert's D960 sonata.

regards, Tam

Boban Markovic - The Promise, wonderfully chaotic close to today's listening before SWMBO takes over the remote for TV viewing

Well after listening to a lot of Janacek, and then two They Might Be Giants albums - I decided to play this



Thoroughly recommended, as indeed are Janacek and They Might Be Giants.

This is the only album in my collection that starts with the line 'I know the Pope is too old to rock n roll'. It was another great loss when Kevin Coyne died some 15 months ago.

A blast from the past.

Love the cover art by Antonio!
He was one of my favourite fashion illustrator for its day.

Brahms, Symphony no.4, Mackerras/SCO

regards, Tam

Handel Concero Grosso in B flat (opus 6, no. 7)

The happy counter part to the B Minor work from the same set, perhaps!

The sheer warmth of the opening slow section contain at least as much 'sunlight resting on closed eyelids' as the slow movement of the Emperor Concerto! Busch Chamber Players... Amazing...

Beethoven symphonies 1&3, Bernstein/VPO. Earlier it was Mahler 10 (unfinished), Sinopoli/Philharmonia and before that Schubert's D960 sonato with Kempff.
