1. johannes brahms: the complete sonatas for piano and Violin/Viola, on BIS label. this is a so-called DMM (direct metal mastering) -- not that i care much -- however, i have sampled it now and it sounds very good indeed...2. mozart piano concertos 23...
If you were given the task of making a compilation album that gave others an insight in to your taste in music then what you would put on it. Assuming you can get around 70 minutes (1 CD) playing time, I'd put01. Nottamun Town - Shirley Collins02....
largely recorded in Cuba, Canadian Ron Sexsmith doles out another gem. Does this guy ever write a bad song? I own ALL his CD's and I can honestly say, No he doesn't. Went to see him open for Nick Lowe... amazing!

For years I have been coming across radio replay, and other people playing me selections, from Annie Fischer's Beethoven Sonata series.I have gradually concluded that no other series of recordings contained readings which seemed more compelling, or...

Imagine worn brake pads screeching, accompanied by high pitched screaming, a B52 taking off and 77 drummers repeatedly collapsing onto a drum kit (yes really they have 77 drummers in the band)- can there be anything more exhilarating? Japanese noise...
I was googling for info on an old Jim Capaldi album, Whale Meat Again, that had inexplicably come into my my mind, when I came across this site, and I thought, the people on Naim forum, perhaps, Mr ROTF in particular,should be made aware of this, so...

I picked up a pile of old Motown singles in a charity shop the other day. It’s great to be able to play them on my system and from a collection point of view I’m very happy, but the sound is very disappointing. I know that they always said that they...
Anybody else got the Sundazed vinyl reissue? Its 'high definition blue vinyl' which, I must say, is a new one on me. Anyway, some of the originals out there must be in better condition than the new, sealed copy I received. Noisy, mishandled and...

Long-time fan from the early 80s, I gave up with 'Around the Sun' which was deadly dull, and haven't bothered with the new one. Has it revealed itself as a minor masterpiece, or shall I ignore them for good and catch up on all the great music around?
@#%&*! SMILERS Aimee Mann did an excelent work.I just have chance to hear it for fifteen minutes,but her voice and the arrangements are so musical...and she´s beautiful,too! BTW,I bought too the Coldplay last album and is great too.Unfortunatelly,it is evening and I will have to wait until tomorrow to listen both albuns better!
Earlier this year I figured I needed to listen to more Schubert. Specifically the solo piano works. More particularly the sonatas, though the other works were welcome. What I was looking for was a nice sample of various works performed by the same...
