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?

Dear Haim!
Smile
The pooch is great!
A very strong character but sweet and smart!
Yesterday it was windy and some of the newspapers's pages he steals from my father armchair were flyin' around in the garden.
He asked to go out, run after the flyin' papers and brought them back exactly in the place were they was.
Three or four times before he decided he could not fight against wind and then streched out on the grass to keep the paper slices under control.
Fantastic!

The rest is dead calm.
Still home till the rest of the month when i'll have another medical visit.
Have to change my job i guess but really don't know how and what.
The only good thing is that they are still paying my wages so i can get some records anyway!
Which is very healing!

Cheers!

Marco Uccellini's "La Bergamasca" played by the Arcadian Academy.

350 years old and still sounding fresh.

Munch,

I was trying to be funny, dealing with such a small image.

The picture is of a sculpture by Milan klic, the music is a Double bass Quintet by Dvorak and a violin Sonata by Janacek.

Yes indeed. Have a listen here (live)

"I would suggest that, after you buy this CD, you order several more copies. It's necessary since you will definitely want to hold onto the copy you have, and friends, upon hearing it, will borrow it and never give it back. My best friend learned this the hard way when she was forced to buy her three roommates their own copies so she could listen to hers. I now keep two or three on hand just in case. I have bought seven others, but I still have my original one.

Originally a soundtrack for a television special, the music that Robbie Robertson and the various artists featured here stands alone, needing nothing but a machine upon which to play and an ear to hear it. The music is haunting and haunted. Each song has its own independence, and yet, as a whole, the CD flows together like a river of music that carries you almost without notice from beginning to end. The widely varying styles complement each other rather than detract, a miracle in itself. Robbie carries the listener into the native experience, into the mystic world, often alien to the modern world, and yet so naturally portrayed in the lyrics of these songs. The history of the Indian wars found in "It Is a Good Day to Die" sits comfortably with "Skinwalker," a modern native woman's search for identity in an alien world.

This is a fine piece of artistic sociology, sociological artistry and psychological spirituality, with tracks including "Coyote Dance," "The Vanishing Breed," "Golden Feather," "Deeds of Blood," "Cherokee Morning Song" and "Twisted Hair." The songs are musical pieces, jazzy, slow and sad, fast and angry and all in between. The music is expertly performed, lovingly crafted. The vocals are a dream of harmony and emotional strength. The songs are easy to pick up and and to sing along with, even the ones not in English. It will be your favorite CD. Buy several. Trust me." Rambles.net

I don't have seven copies, there again I have never let anyone else listen to it. Well worth a punt though.
