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?

Just got back from a 2nd hand shop this afternoon and with a whiskey in hand. it was vanMorrison Tupelo Honey, Now a 70's country/folk group called The Amazing Rhythum Aces. Nice analogue recording technique, I might go back there in a couple months and get the rest of the LPs.

coming up JJ Cale, Jesse Winchester and Melissa Manchester.

"Tupelo Honey" What a great song!

Malcolm Arnold conducting his Dances on Lyrita. A long time favourite, even if I no longer have a vinyl copy.

Moved on to Edgar Meyer's rendering of Bach's cello suites on double bass. So nice that he could pop in and play this for as a pre-brunch appetiser. Well, that's how it seems.

The Masada music of John Zorn played on the guitars of Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell and Tim Sparks. Excellent.

Future Cape by RockArt. Saw them live here in Basel last week and bought the CD not thinking it would sound half as good as the live event. If you like cross-over ethnic African music melded with electronics and loops it's well worth seeking out. It sound rather fine as well as being an interesting musical style.

The World is a Wonderful Place - the songs of Richard Thompson. Musically, have been jumping about like a flea on a dog's back today. The joys of new kit. A new music collection!

Probably the most challenging violin pieces, I've heard. Ever. Intriguing, nevertheless !

First up, Joe Bataan "The Best Of". A bit funkier than "Poor Boy", but the older songs on "Poor Boy" still are the coolest.



Then Cannonball Adderley "Somethin' Else" - one of my favourite jazz albums.

Eurythmics - We Too Are One followed by:-
Ketama/Toumani Diabate/Danny Thompson - Songhai (both on vinyl)

Rounded off by Johnny Cash American III - Solitary Man. Daren't listen to the subsequent releases in the series.

Norwegian black metal. Satyricon "Rebel Extravaganza". I prefer some of their other CD's, but it is absolutely good.



The Bruckner symphony 5 performed by Sinopoli and Staatskapelle Dresden. I really like it, and I'm warming up for a concert next month in Oslo where Blomstedt will perform Mozart symphony 34 and Bruckner 5.

Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn

I'm like a big kid with a new toy and it keeps getting better! Next up, well the cover tells all:



And now this Ali Farke Toure disc - there's amazing sounds coming out of this. The lyrics, well, who knows & there's not many of them. Blues with a serious African twist - superb stuff.

Van Morrisn - Moondance on remastered CD

I just listened to Mahler symphony 6 by Karajan and the BPO. I'm not normally a Karajan fan, but this is the best Mahler 6 I have heard so far, and my favourite Karajan recording. Normally I'm sceptical when it comes to Karajan; except when it comes to Mahler and Strauss. I know he is also top-notch in Wagner, but I haven't warmed up to Wagner's music.

Inspired by Parmenides, the rather excellent John Taylor Trio
