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

Got in from work and put on .......

Candace Springs - Soul Eyes

This is the fourth time listening to this album since I picked it up a short time ago. Thanks for the members on this thread who recommended this album.

Following Candace with ......

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

.....described as a wonderful piece of improvisation, not rehearsed, Miles discussed the five pieces then they played and recorded with each member playing their part. The band - Miles Davis (trumpet & leader), John Coltrane (tenor saxophone) , Bill Evans (piano on all tracks except Freddie Freeloader), Julian Adderly (alto saxophone), Paul Chambers (bass), Jimmy Cobb (drums), and Wynton Kelly (Piano on Freddie Freeloader).

Love this album.....

Been listening to my new Vinyl of Kiri Te Kanawa - Strauss - Last Four Songs and Ime Abendrot hit me hard and the tears came, wow.  Looked up the lyrics and then listened to Renee Fleming on YouTube...crocodile tears.

I discovered that one of the best thing Strauss wrote isn't his big orchestral pieces but these dear songs. Kiri's Strauss is wonderful.

I love 4 Last Songs. and it is very difficult for me to listen to.

I still remember that I heard them first in the concert hall. And indeed the response was emotional. It was by the way a concert by the Dutch soprano Miranda van Kralingen.

To close out the evening......

Great voice, great guitar, great lyrics, every album I have of Mary's has songs that touch me. I have seen her twice and hope there will be a third time......

Starting this morning in the workout. Guitar based mix, laid back...

Typical solid criss cross album, easy to enjoy..., I had a bit of a longer workout than normal so could enjoy the two albums ....

Amazing what he brings out at his age. One of the young talents in classical piano...
