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?

Kelly Holmes on "Desert Island Discs" on Radio 4, through my Nat05. A fantastic FM tuner!

Joseph Haydn / The Natural Horn / Sony

Ab Koster, Natural Horn (no valves)
L'Archibudelli

"The French Horn was always a very difficult instrument to play well, so much so that its players were treated as if they were a special race-their salaries were much higher. Their life-span was, considering the dental standards of the nineteenth century, definitely limited, and they usually mastered a string instrument as well".

Arctic Monkeys - I bet you look good on the dancefloor (on the iPod).

An interesting contrast to Zakir Hussain's Making Music, which I was listening to previously.

Edgar Winter: Jasmine Nightdreams
His *Island jazz* period. Still one of my all time favourite. Few records I've worn out the grooves from overplaying.

Ron Miles Quartet - Laughing Barrel. This guy plays on a couple of Otis Taylor discs and prompted my interest in tracking down some of his own work. Initial listen shows promise.

Lizz Wright - dreaming wide awake.

Lovely

This was a disappointing release. Regurgitagting old schtick. But not very well.

Duelling two middle eastern acoustic guitarists.
Luis Conte on percussions adds sparkling interest.

Boards of Canada - High scores - Skam

Nick Smart's Black Eyed Dog - Remembering Nick Drake

The arrangements of such well known tunes don't grab straight away, probably because of some sort of aural conditioning. Repeat plays allow one to appreciate the music more, but probably of limited interest to those unfamiliar with the music of Nick Drake
