What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2017
2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Gustav Holst
Holst The Planets Live - Qobuz Sublime
Sir Colin Davis & London Symphony Orchestra
Listing to one of my all time favorite classical albums, so far this version is ok.
Dose any forum member have any recommendation as to which version of this classic album i should buy in hi-res.

On vinyl...
Mark knopfler
Tracker - 24bit 192khz

LP - Music Matters 2014 reissue : )
I've only played this a couple of times since I bought it so i thought it deserved another outing.
Just before I listened to this for the first time. Good impression, less metal oriented - more pop oriented, but still interesting...
A good album, high artistic quality, at the same time not as good as her last album Lento....., but still people liking her will want to have this album, as it is good....
EP CD - 4 songs but has 3 good live cuts on it, especially "You're My Home" and "Stiletto".
This lady is the best find of the year so far for me
Sarah Jarosz - Follow Me Down

Kind of an amazing coincidence you posting this. My wife brought this rather obscure CD home just a few weeks ago. She was at the Madison Square Garden concert in 1974, Lennon's final public concert appearance. He promised Elton that if "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" went number one he'd perform it live. My wife was 15 at the time and still has the ticket stub. I was surprised by the quality of the sound on the CD. Very good concert by Elton and of course it's now legendary in rock annals.
Cheap Trick. The Greatest Hits. A 2002 remaster of the 1991 CD. The familiar pop/rock songs, their hits, are very good, but there's a fair bit of fluffy hair-band filler stuff among the 14 tracks. Rick Nielsen's prowess on the axe makes this a worthwhile occasional listen for me.

His latest offering (on 8 course lute) downloaded last night, delightful.
"Some people will be angry. Others will laugh. There are many orphaned lute pieces in English sources that have come down to us with no name at all. I have taken the liberty of christening four such pieces in this program with names that seem to suit their musical spirits... By far the majority of the lute music from the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) has survived in manuscripts. There are pieces that turn up again and again in different sources, often with variant readings, and there are masterpieces that can be found only once. In general, an English manuscript contains works by various composers, sometimes mixing works from different periods and styles copied by various scribes. The pieces in the current program have been assembled in the same way. Such was the spirit of the Elizabethan Age. This anthology contains four pieces connected with John Dowland and others by contemporaries from the generation of lute composers that preceded him." - Extracted from Hopkinson Smith's notes about the album
