What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)

Not bad at all.

Honeybus ? Huh.....Just when I'd thought I'd heard of everything. It's an anthology too, so presumably they've recorded more than one.

Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing

Just brilliant.

Stefan,

Is this a pure SACD disc or something I can play on the Naim?

It is information about Hille Perl's new Telemann recording:


Super Audio CD

Bei einer Super Audio CD handelt es sich um ein völlig neues CD-Format, welches von Sony entwickelt wurde. Um die Musik hierbei in High-End-Qualität genießen zu können, wird ein spezieller Super Audio CD-Player benötigt. Heute sind aber bereits Kombi-Player auf dem Markt, die alle Formate (CD, DVDVideo, DVDAudio, SuperAudioCD) abspielen können.
Dank Hybrid-Funktion (jeweils angegeben) sind viele SACDs auch auf CD-Playern abspielbar.

Thanks,

Haim

A great album from the past and a big lot of memories that fill the room with these two voices.

Superb

bought 2 new pieces when I went to Disney Hall last night in LA. First both are recorded in the new hall which is ambiently incredible.

First Los Lobos' new CD The Town and the City. Nice mix of latin/blues/rock. Great mix of electric and acoustic guitar pieces. Wonderful up front and detailed music. A very LA sound from a local group

Second Salonen conducts the LA Phil in Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain, Original score very dark, not redone my Korsikov.
Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin
Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps version 1947.

This last one he's taken to Europe on a tour a few years ago and got rave reviews.
It's on DG and is an SACD. I must say that I'm not sophisticated enough to figure out the difference in formats, but the CD level that's playing on my CDX2 is pretty fantastic.

I had to buy it as I was at one of the concerts recorded. Odd tho that Bald Mnt is one track, as is Mandarine, but Rite of Spring they broke up into 12 tracks. I guess so that if you are having ecstacy in one heart pounding section, or you're trying to drive your neighbor crazy, you can repeat as many times as you like.

After an entire week spent standing fascists and nazis s**t i need something to make me do a real good laugh.
Program for tonight:

Any similarity between Scrat the seed's hero and Willy the path sniffer?

Symphony no. 1 and no. 3 "Eroica" from Karajans 1963 Beethoven cycle. This sounds really beautiful; especially the "Eroica". I must confess that I had some prejudices towards Karajan, but now I find more and more that I really like by him.

Never heard about a pure SACD, but who knwos... The xlation would be:

A SACD is a totally new CD format, which was developped by Sony. To enjoy music in high end quality, a special SACD player is needed. Today, there are combi players, which can play all formats (...). Thanks to hybrid function (as indicated on CD) many SACD's can be played on CD players, as well.

Guess it's just teh standard text...

Wher was that ?

cheers

Anouar Brahem "Le Pas Du Chat Noir". A truely beautiful album from Brahem, and I clearly prefer it to "Thimar". I'm not sure which one I prefer of this and "Conte de L'incroyable Amour". Both are really worth having.

for the xth time. especially "La Valenciana" draws me into the church it has been recorded in. A beatiful piece of music.

cheers

Rachmaninov Piano concerto nr 2 played by Julius Katchen with LSO under Solti. Recorded in 1958 in mono - but it's lovely. Not as full bodied as many modern recordings but has a lovely atmosphere. I don't ever recall buying this record so it must be one of those which came free with the missus

Any recommendations for an alternative good reading anyone?

Ian

Pete Brown & Piblokto! - Things May Come And Things May Go Etc/Thousands On A Raft

Excellent double CD

After Magdalena Kozena's "Lamento" (Nice...), now Giuliani's complete Guitar Concertos (on Brilliant) - time to go to sleep, I guess...

cheers
