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?

Happy New year to all

What do you think, I nearly went to see him awhile back in the tiny Morden Tower venue in Newcastle. He's a Wild man
It's not his best from my initial listening. But I didn't realise that this is his first disc when he was in a band called Stavin Chains. They have just pulled a fast one and changed the Artist on the cover.

Only ever liked her second album and used to like her husband Paul Curerri but have gone off him a bit. Don't know if you have but pop over onto her site where she used to be able to download duets of her and Paul.

Good to see you're back (and obviously no family major tragedy being reported from wheme you had been...)
was able to grab some CD's from a local chain that had 19 percent off, on everything, today...
Natalie Dessay - Bellini's Somnambula (currently on)
Trio Mediaeval - Folk Songs (the others being ordered with Caiman) - next in line
The Leaders - Spirits Alike (always meant to buy this)

Thanks, Stefan.
I survived the ordeal though the ride there was tough. The drive of 500 KMs in steady falling snow and icy roads took me over nine hours and it felt like nine years.
What do you think of Folk Songs? I personally liked much better their first two albums.

Hi Haim - I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this - it looks very interesting (piano & viola, yes?).
Thanks

Droo,
I am glad that you like my countrywoman Anat Fort.
As for Asturiana, it is a lush, vivid, and sometimes even flamboyant music for piano & viola composed by South American and Spanish composers.
Kashkashian & Levin play passionately and with great synergy. I highly recommend this disc as well as their Brahms Sonatas (another ECM).
Regards,
Haim
First disc played in 2008. Had to be piano music.

That is an excellent elpee - I think I'll put it on right now. She is a superb singer.

Thanks for the link - I really must get Into The Light. Her MySpace area is absolutely wonderful and packed with great tracks.

A seasonal favourite for me as 'A House Is Not A Motel' always reminds me of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'!
And of course a very Happy New Year to all!

He is a troubadour and Helen has a crackin voice. I was tempted to take the kids to see him up at Gairloch but then realised it was an 8 hour drive - I think he must live there.
Might check him a bit nearer to home
