What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)
Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005
Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.
So, what are you listening to right now?

Very much like the Cinematic Orchestra.

PS: Huw, I've re-connected the Maggies, currently. First impression was positive, but evening hours brought back shock / horror. Not a final verdict, but I'm afraid somebody else will enjoy these great speakers, soon...

Currently listening to book 1 of the Well Tempered Clavier, Helmut Walcha at the Harpsichord. Why this wonderful set isn't available in the UK is beyond me. Anyone who doubts Bach should be played on the harpsichord should here this.

i hope he likes it. i opened my big mouth and proclaimed Guamba to be my favorite "jazz" album. i love it so much because i feel it beautifully transcends musical boundaries and labels, and still as sounds fresh today as it did over a decade ago when i first heard it. hence the quotation marks around "jazz" - i have a hard time calling it anything other than RFGM (really fcuking great music). it's a "perfect album" in the sense that it is "complete", with a beginning and an end. i have but a few of these in my modest collection.
while i contemplate a headphone upgrade.

On a CDS3/555PS/Nait 3R/SC/WATT 6 all on Mana.
Wow. Just wonderful on voices. And there are no valves involved.
Bossa Antigua - Paul Desmond with Jim Hall on guitar. Originally issued in 1964, a great way to start the day, Desmond is as smooth as silk.

difficult to tire of the drum solo on the mule
simply vinyl and one of the best recrdongs/reproduction
a mixed bag of sublime to missable. Angel of Harlem and Heartland particularly good.
drum duet on dance on a volcano another wow
just upgraded to supercap powering 202 and hicap on stageline, a morning of vinyl heaven
Rolf Lislevand - nuove musiche, on CD
followed by Andreas Wollenweider - Caverna Magica, on vinyl
