Stefan, good morning.

How is Mitzi Meyerson?

The only Mitzi I know is my brother's cat...

Haim, good morning !
I like that CD a lot (courtesy of MichaelV...). Music is very light (in the best sense), and performance, instrument and capture on the "authentic" side. If only there wasn't this horrible pink inside....

cheers
Stefan

Stefan,

Lislevand is very good, as always. He plays solo on 11-course baroque lute.

The music of Gaultier, Gallot, Dufaut & Mouton (sounds like a French menu) is rich and intimate.

I like it a lot though I think that the recording is not on the level of ECM or MA.

Regards,

Haim

Although the Naive label isn't known for bad recordings, either...

How about the "Anat Fort" CD ? I'm tempted to order it. Also, there's another new CD with Motian (man, this man is getting hyper-productive, in his old days...) with Frisell and Lovano. Have you heard it ?

Using the forum to talk to you seems a good way to avoid always landing in your spam filter, Haim.

cheers
Stefan

It is not at all a bad recording, Stefan, but I have Bach's lute music on MA which leads you so much deeper into the music with such an ease...

Anat Fort's (my countrywoman) compositions and piano playing are excellent, and I am giong to try and get her first recording which was made on a different label too.

I did not get Motian's disc since I do not like Lovano's sound too much.

I do not use any spam filters. It must be something to do with my internet provider, but I never heard Huw, Adrian or anyone else having a problem. Are you sure it is not on your side?
Besides, you had a chance last week to bypass those filters and show up here in Wadsworth in person to rest your tired feet...

Doing the 2nd disk from Pink Floyd Echoes - watching England playing a pants game of rugby with the sound turned down.

Ry Cooder"my name is Buddy" again. This one will get a lot of play!

and now into


which seems to be good

cheers

Haven't really been following this one, but I might as well chip in, especially as I'm feeling rather cheery having just quaffed a couple of bottles of Innis & Gunn's Oak Aged Beer. And while I was drinking that lot, I was listening to Colin Davis conducting the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Haydn's Military Symphony, and then Alec Gibson conducting Sibelius's Night Ride and Sunrise, then The Oceanides tone poem. Very satisfying!

Hi BB!
I knew nothing.
I can't remember where i put my Document 5 copy and put this on.
I like "Try not to breathe" 9/10 times repeated.

I had to post this image. It's from Amazon in the US. Only in America would her arse be covered

live re-broadcast of Greg Brown at Big Top Chautauqua on KBEM. fantastic!

Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live - just picked this limited edition 3 lp set up today & the sound quality is astonishing for a live album.

Another which I couldn't resist buying was Led Zep III on Classic Records 200g vinyl which also sounds wonderful (especially compared with the original album I bought in 1980's!) and the gatefold cover works just as well!

Kuma,

I am the opposite, always cleaning the house with music.

Today it's been Brahms German Requiem from Rattle and the Berliners, Haydn's op.76 quartets nos 1-3 from the Budapest quartet (I think I may need to explore Haydn's chamber music further) and Beethoven's 4th and 7th symphonies from Klemperer and the Philharmonia (I've enjoyed a fair amount of this set, especially works like the 3rd where is slower grandeur works very well, but in these two it doesn't, for me at any rate and I find I need both more tempo and sheer joy, especially in the 7th).
