First blues of the year as well. Or was it as...hell?

Happy new year. I should have perhaps started the year with my favorite Oscar Peterson we get request album. But I had appetite for violin music. Maxim isn’t a bad choice ....

Happy New Year everyone, starting the year with one of my favourites from 2015

Christopher Willits  - Horizon

Running away from the ghastly New Years Day concert from Vienna on Radio 3, this spacey ambient music perfectly complements the rain falling outside.

Some delightful, beautifully recorded music on this frosty new year's day.

Never bothered to listen to Gregory Porter until his album Nat King Cole & Me but since buying that I have now added all of his previous albums to my collection

A nice start for the New Year.

Gregory Porter was on TV, think it was on sky arts over Xmas , live in Berlin....just so easy on the ear, a true professional.

Great jazz by Rhoda Scott and her quartet.

'Come All Ye'. A rousing start to the new year and to a very fine album.

Watched this lady on Jool's Hootenanny last night...

Cannot fault Tidal for sheer convenience, I just hope they're still around in 2019.

Haven't played this possibly since it came out.

After the traditional new year's concert from Vienna, there is so much sugar residue in my speaker cables they need cleaning to avoid them from clogging up. Prokofiev does the trick well, and as it so happens, this is my favorite record from 2017. If you think you know these works, think again after hearing these performances.

Cheers

Related to the hires vs CD thread, I listened to this record both in 24/48 and 16/44 formats (both downloads; hires flac files burned to DVD data disc, 16/44 burned as music to CD-R; both listened to on the same player). The recording has excellent sound, and in this case, the hires adds depth and realism.
