on CD. Gothic grandeur for a Sunday evening
On tidal, and suiting the mood for a quiet Sunday evening with a whisky.
Laura Marling - Semper Femina
First listen on Vinyl
Deacon Blue, Raintown, on brand new 180gram vinyl bought on Saturday at the Acoustica show and very nice it sounds too.
The last piece Carter composed for orchestra. Also a wonderful reading of the Ives 2nd!
CD on the SSO’s label taken from live concert recordings.
A couple of restful albums for Sunday evening from the lovely Ms Krall

I went to a Slatkin/LSO concert a few years back, primarily for the Glass Violin Concerto, and was dreading the Ives, which I didn't know (I wasn't any sort of Ives fan). But Slatkin gave a talk on what the Ives was about and when they played it, it was simply sublime. One of my favourite pieces of American classical.
This classic to end the night
David Bowie -The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
On Vinyl
Another purchase from Saturday and my fave Led Zep album, have got plenty of versions of this but didn't have this remixed one. 180 gram vinyl

I have been sent a Deluxe version which I haven't listened to or looked at properly yet. So it has either come out that way already or there is one in the offing.
As it was 46 years ago on the 12th and 13th of March that Tom Dowd started recording the tapes for this classic album.
A few trax off the album

Yep, a favorite here too.
Tom Dowd, "The language of Music" documentary about him is a must see for every music/audio lover imo.
...a very fine album during my workout..

Thanks for posting this one Quad33. I don't have any Wayne Shorters CD's at the moment. But based on the musicians and the period, this should be an album I like. I'm going to check it out.
