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?

Guys, I doubt that this CD will manage it OUT of my top-10 for 2008... Early call, I know, but it's that good (if you like this kind of stuff, of course). Music alongside the life of Franz Xaver, who lived 500 years ago, and made his way from Spain, trough Paris, Lisbon, India, Japan and China. The music reflects this and tells a fascinating story.
Go, and get this ! Now !
Needless to say that Jordi Savall and his family and team did a great job again to make this unique. Not to mention the solid 270 page book(let) the 2 CD's are embedded in.

Minus 15, We dont know what cold is here.
If it drops to minus 1 the trains dont work and the whole of England comes to a stand still.
Haim I am a JJ Johnson fan myself, matured listening to him avidly as pretty much the only jazz trombonist at the time with enough technique to play note runs as fast as a saxaphone raher than just 'waw-waw'.
Just popped this one on

Geoff,

Here is another very good JJ on Verve. The group playing includes Wayne Shorter (sax), Victor Lewis (drums) and Rene Rosnes who is an excellent pianist.

She is an excellent pianist and composer as you said. I have some of her work with the San Francisco Jazz collective which I highly recommend.

John Holloway on violin, Aloysia Assenbaum on organ and Ulrik Mortensen on harpsichord play masterfully Biber's eight difficult sonatas of 1681 known for their virtuosic demands and sudden changes of mood and tempo.
A perfect disc for the married man..
