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?

Raising Sand - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
BACH PIANO TRANSCRIPTIONS - 5 ~<>~ HAMISH MILNE
Goedicke ~<>~ Kabalevsky ~<>~ Catoire ~<>~ Siloti
Every track on this album is very satisfying. Hamish Milne's performance is superb and with the close sound of the piano, one can often hear his breathing...
Excellent emotive production, full price CD but well worth the money!

Yes it's a great album, isn't it? Hardly been far from my player since last year. Thanks to John (JN) for the intro.

Brilliant album which i think you should give a listen to Jeff.
Jazz - includes an excellent cover of Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes".

I even have no idea about the kind of music he/she/they play but i've been several times close to buy it.
If you like acoustic guitar recorded literally in the kitchen that sounds fantastic and as raw as you can get then this is the disc for you.

It is not the best live Jackson I have Steve. The tracks are not all from the same concert they are taken from different dates over a tour and there is fade outs which I hate. But love it nonetheless.
However the disc seems to be very rare and expensive now. I got mine off ebay a couple of months ago for $30. Don't think the seller knew what he had but that's his loss as it now goes for $100 +.
Tracks are:
Doctor My Eyes
My Problem is You
In The Shape of a Heart
Take It Easy
For a Dancer
The Pretender
Runnin on Empty
The Load Out
Stay
Somebaby's Baby
Before the Deluge

Gianluigi did you ever buy his first Lean on Me I think it was called. What a brilliant, stunning blues accoustic disc.

Hi Ewemon!
This is the first i have by him and i think it's quite a little masterpiece.
The way he plays guitar just touches me.
He has a site on the www and i think that all the acoustic and folk music lovers should take a trip.
imho
