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?

It's a good album - not one of his best but still better than most people come up with. I think "It's All In The Game" lets the thing down.

Anyway - onwards



Suede - Coming Up

some excellent tracks, but possibly not the "great" album I remember.

Great band with a great sense of fun. I've got What's Up Dog? with the brilliant Spy In The House of Love video here . I always revisit Are You Okay? because of Leonard Chohen on Elvis' Rolls Royce. They were on at the Jazz Cafe (London) recently but I missed them. There are some tracks here (cheers Don!). James Brown is a cracker too - "I feel better than James Brown" (guess that's OK until the day he is brown bread then it's not saying much).

Cheers!

You need a classic "English" cold! Enough to lay you low for two days but you are still able to listen to (quiet) music:

Now



Nat King Cole - St Louis Blues

Sibelius's 2nd and 3rd symphonies from Barbirolli and the Halle (rather disappointing given how enjoyably the cycle started out - the second also marred by some hideous engineering).

Then Vaughan Williams' Pastoral symphony from Handley and the RLPO. This cycle can be had (all seven discs of it) for just £14 at HMV and as I work my way through it I'm becoming more and more convinced that you'd need your head examining not to buy it.

Steve.
This place is cold enough, in any meaning, to leave on my face the costant, blanck look of the "survivor".
More on the idiot side of the meaning than the romantic one.
Maybe a couple of months in the Caribbean could help!
Smile
But maybe they don't have decent records shops..................so i think i'll stay home and face the motionless bore of this piece of the globe.
And the records i'm waiting from Germany still don't arrive.
Better sleep (slip) on it!

Ciao!

Mahler symphonies no. 3, 4 (w/ Lucia Popp as soprano) and 5 conducted by Bertini. Well, this is simply amazing stuff! Highly recommended cycle and available for only £28 here:

Disc one of Bill Evans complete recordings of Verve. (Was there ever a more annoyingly constructed box set - I mean the physical box, not the contents - nominations please!).



(Sorry, can't find a picture that really does it justice - however the fact that the case has been deliberately designed to rust means you get your hands dirty every time you open it - which itself is an interesting challenge.)

Don't forget to try some amazing Canadian rock from the Tragically Hip..."Yer Favourites". You may not know "New Orleans is Sinking" (and I don't know how to swim) , a great song that has disappeared from on-air play since the tragic events in that City. Well worth a listen...
