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?

Followed, Nigel: Mellow yet intelligent music, beautfully captured at Avatar Studios, one of the word's best sounding studio, I find.

A perfect disc for the married man..


Laughing out loud, Haim. Had to think for a moment, but then...

Also, thx for the hint. Sounds like an excellent combination of music, label and artists.

Long before the disco dross - the Bee Gees were a very good group.

Quite glorious. Bought at Parrot Records, Ipswich on a teenage whim in the late '70s, today is the best I've ever heard it; and I'm not ashamed to confess a slight moistening of the eye at one or two points! That Annie Haslam, what a voice!

Agreed - Annie has one of the greatest voices ever to be captured on record - I'm trying to think of a better singer, but no I give up ... I don't think there is one.

Stefan, thanks for understanding me.

I guess that different kinds of marriages call for differnet musics. I can very easily see a man who is married to a perfectly keeled librarian listening strictly to Morton Feldman...

Get the Biber if you still don't have it, as well as Unarum fidium which is played by the same group on ECM too. Both are excellent.
