“From the 1960s to the 1990s, those with a taste for obscure English classical composers, or for the obscure works of the well-known ones, needed only one port of call: Lyrita Records. It is like coming across long-buried treasure, and...
Richie Hayward, drummer with Little Feat since 1970, died of pneumonia following liver cancer surgery a couple of days ago.I never got to see the Feat in their 70s heyday, but luckily caught the reformed band at the Trowbridge village pump festival...
I'm having a look/listen to Stravinsky's "Ebony Concerto" this weekend.It is scored for tom-tom. The tom-tom has to play arpeggios and diatonic scales, with the occasional accidental.I know the head can be tuned to specific pitches by moving rings...

Just enjoying a very nice CD 'Golden' by the Kit Downes Trio; highly recommended.I can hear influences of Keith Jarret, Brad Meldhau and John Taylor, but Kit is very much his own man. Compositionally rugged and ear catching; lyricism and melody in...
Hi,recently downloaded and installed the Naim label download manager but there are no available albums or tracks shown anywhere...What am I doing wrong?
For the past few days, I have been studying the piano reductions of Candide and Peter Pan, and been listening to the CDs.What a hoot! Bernstein was at his best for Broadway.Does anyone know where I might find a DVD of the 1950 production of Peter Pan...
Following a number of positive reviews and a Mercury prize nomination I bought Corinne Bailey Rae's "the Sea." Unfortunately a great set of songs is spoilt by the backing band. At first I thought the vocals had been recorded independently from the...
I realise that this was a few weeks ago - but did anyone catch CSN at the Royal Albery Hall ?Serious OAP's these days but they have lost none of their magic . Steve Stills re-opened the debate on the best guitarist of all time with some amazing - and...
Has anyone heard the new remasters? Are they actually new? Have they got it right yet?I need some reliable advice before I jump in at over a hundred quid.Looking at the photos on Amazon, they appear to be the Japanese re-masters, which I thought were ...
I didn't have much interest in them at the time and have always thought them over rated. Got some record vouchers for father's day so bought the anniversary re-release of their first album on vinyl to see what like. Well, it is simply sublime...
