What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)

This is the third volume of Mozart sonatas. Absolutely teriffic and perfect for Saturday morning. A busy day ahead - the Emsworth Art Trail and the stand up paddle board national championships in the town as well. How will we cope? Fortified with Mozart. 

Last nights excellent BBC4 documentary prompts me to listen to this...all the way through...for the first time...ever.

Yes excellent program,  been on before but well worth a 2nd watch/listen.   If you like Tubular Bells,  you might like TB-2,  if anything I prefer it to the original.  

last evening on ripped CD (wav):

it's been months since I last listened to it. very good first album.

just finished watching Jools Holland recording from last night & this lady stole the show for me.....a real surprise, late addition....not bad considering that the show also included Robert Cray & Beth Ditto!

I agree good performance on JH yesterday. What does the album sound like?... I have been caught out before loving the live performances on JH, but finding the recorded album equivalent disappointing..

I was quite taken with her too, and have tracked down quite a lot of her stuff on Tidal ........... I'd agree that the "live" performances have the edge, but will investigate further.

I sometimes feel that Jools' show is not unlike this topic, when it comes to someone totally unknown, (to me, at least), appearing on the radar.

Talking of which, what about the lassie from the Faroes? A quite stunning performance, I felt.

Have to agree on all fronts, the live performance really sold it for me; the album here is still up there though.....And as you say the lady from the Faroes was another great example of the breadth of the programme, really different & captivating.

Thanks Mike-B I'm enjoying it (I must say the 272 continues to surprise me with how damn fine it sounds) so will give II a 'whirl'.

Same here Simon, I always have to take the albums with caution after the live performances really impress. Certainly enjoyed the lady from the Faroes. 

Until Yesterday I didn't know the existence of this trio. The music on special offer thread pointed me to this excellent trio.

It's modern jazz from Scandinavia.

Really enjoying this engaging 12 song story. cinematic orchestral brazilian breakbeat. 

My favourite Sylv, on UK first press vinyl. Sombre, artmosphere-drenched ballads for a grey Saturday morning. The SQ is pretty awesome, the songwriting first-rate.

If you have albums of Tord Gustavsen, then make sure you have a good listen to this album and the others these guys have created....

I have everything they have created and it's worthwhile exploring - it's a very dynamic trio....

Sarah Jarosz - Undercurrent

Federico Mompou wrote the 28 brief piano pieces that make up the four volumes of his Música Callada (Silent Music) between 1959 and 1967, but they could easily be mistaken for a product of the first decade of the century. The influence of Satie and Debussy is pronounced, but the music has an idiosyncratic individuality that keeps it from being mistaken for the work of either of those composers. The composer traced his aesthetic in part to his memories of the sound of bells when he was a child, and it's not hard to hear the influence of bell-like sonorities in Música Callada. (AllMusic)
