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?

Natalie Merchant - Retrospective 1990-2005 - limited edition 2 CD version which includes excellent 2nd disc of assortments. This is very beautiful and highly recommended music.
I may ask Harry to get me a 552 to listen to soon!

Consensus of whom? You sound like my conscience Steve, but that cannot be, it passed away years ago.

Beatles' Rubber Soul. It's never too late to get reacquainted with a classic, but just think what might be achieved today with a better (non SACD, Dual Disc or whatever) remastering!

Billy Bragg - The Peel Sessions
New England, This Guitar Says Sorry, Fear Is A Man's Best Friend and the, still as fresh as ever, A13 Trunk Road To The Sea
A13 may be a rip off of Route 66, but words like
If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the okay road that's the best
Go motorin' on the A13
just seem to have more impact to me.

Is Lhasa - The Living Road, was Monk's Music and Janos Starker playing Kodály's cello suites.
The bumpy ride has begun, new XPS2 bedding in and already there is a discernible difference in texture. I am sure things will be a little up and down these next days but from out of the box have been very happy. Mind you a cold burndy cable wins no prizes in the flexibility stakes.

Switched to Zoot Money's Big Roll Band - Were you there ? - Live 1966
Recorded live at various venues, The Flamingo, Klooks Kleek, Cooks Ferry Inn, etc. Patchy recording quality, but a fine compliation of the only band of the time to stand up against Georgie Fame and his boys.

Well, call me a sad, sentimental old sod, but...........
Fifteen years ago, on this very night, I saw the Grateful Dead perform their fabled Hallowe'en Wembley Arena show. Never been released on CD but downloadable by those who know (I don't) from their website. So, fifteen years on, I'm reliving the experience.
Not quite as loudly, though.

Evolution II- John Lewis, piano.
One of his lattest recordings (2001), playing mostly his own compositions.

John
I have that, mostly live and with other musicians.
Do you also have Evolution (1999?- can check). Superb studio recording and solo. On its release, Stereophile magazine suggested that it was one of the best solo piano recordings ever.

PS The Dead just signed off with Werewolves of London.

Graham,
I have the Evolution too. For some reasons I find myself listening more to the second disk though it is a bit more uneven since it was recorded in two different locations by two different persons.
If you like piano music you have to hear Todd Garfinkle playing in Furthet Attempts / MA Recordings M006A. Todd, who owns the lable and does the recordings, plays on a Bosendorfer Imperial 290 with Sugiama (cello) and Yahiro (percussion). This is by far the best piano recording I ever heard and the music itself is ravishing. You can sample the music on their site: MArecordings.com
Best regards,
Haim
