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?

Yes.
Haim.
Where are you?
Are you ok?
Cheers
Gianluigi

"Live Bullet" Bob Seger. A replacement for a scratched version, just received from amazon.com. Interestingly it boasted "from the UK masters" on the outer wrapping.
I really must go to bed! This sounds so good though.

Brahms' Requiem.
In 1948 Furtwangler led a most staggering performance of this, which I return to when in the mood. No one famous, but the whole performance is deeply humain, and everything is wonderous, except the recording which is not. I still love it...
This is a rather fine photo of Furtwangler which I think shows his gentleness as much as anything else.

Dear Erik, Could you imagine me taking in more or less two months of darkness in the company of such Greats as Bach, Brahms, and Haydn up in the desperate cold and solitude of the mid Norwegian Plateau (Hardangervidda), to be taken with a liberal dose of fine Vodka, and next to no human contact at all? I could, and if I went mad no one would notice or care...
Fredrik, who could dream of nothing finer.

Eric,
A beautiful piece of music - I have the rendition by Emma Kirkby and James Bowman. In fact, I have two others also, but the Kirkby/Bowman rendition is the best, if not the best recording.

Phil,
Yes, it deserves to be better known and I agree with you about Emma Kirkby, she has a beautiful voice entirely suited to this kind of music.

Fredrik,
The Hardanger plateau is instensely beautiful and I am sure I would love a few months there with or without messrs. Bach, Mozart & Vivaldi and copious amounts of anything other than food and the company of all the Buddhas. Great walks and great silence and out of the darkness great light will come for those in whom all mental chatter has stopped.

Before:
Ralph Towner - ANA.
Great solo album
Now:
Charlie Haden / Ralph Towner / Robben Ford / Julian Priester et al. - Helium Tears
And I thought I knew everything Haden had done. Wrong. And, on a label (newedition) I've never heard of, too... And only 11 EUR. Must have been my lucky day...
Enjoy
Stefan

Well, to be accurate, I've just finished listening to it...
Paul Jones on R2 excellent discovery in the car on the way back from a completely fruitless and time-wasting journey literally from one side of Norfolk to the other, and back.
But those lovely vintage blues have calmed down so that the most damage that will happen is to a large cold G&T* with ice and lime.
Let's hear it for : MUSIC
