The allusion, in another thread, to the harpsichord vs piano debate sent me scurrying to Amazon to look for other non-purist approaches to Bach. There's a double CD of the sonatas and partitas for solo violin played on a specially constructed eight...
90 minutes about the man and his music.Worth watching I think.RH
I have been asked by my piano teacher to consider listening to some classical piano music, to assist in my learning to play. I don't wish to listen to anything heavy, but he suggested the usual (chopin etc). Do you have any suggestions as to where to...
Really enjoying this album tonight - the exquisite extended outro to "In the Dunes", the tricksy bass intro to "Snowbound", and the the two wolf howls as the beat kicks in on "Countermoon" - all great stuff.I find it hard to understand why this album...
I have heard some organ piece in the car recently and found this composer most interesting - as far as I can see he also composed a lot of vocal works.I could do with some organ and keyboard music, and one or two cantatas won't do any harm to my...

Something beautifully recorded and to be honest I prefer a good silky female voice... I prefer bass driven tracks with a nice flowing tempo and some form of melody but don't really know where to start. Something of exceptional engineering and...
I got the new Wilco, Blue Sky Blue, and it is impressive. Must be Beatles/ELO period influence with Tweedy. Nice sonics with some tasty guitar. Very worthwhile.
What's it like? Surely someone has it?b

Evening AllMy new Naim system's revived my interest in jazz. I've recently been hammering the ECM label, and am now looking for other European jazz worth hearing. Any recommendations? My taste's quite broad, so it doesn't have to have the "ECM sound"...

I was at the NIA Birmingham on Tuesday night.Great to see that those guys can still rock, big time.. Pete Townshend's classic windmill guitar playing on "Won't get fooled again" was something to be seen. Also Roger Daltrey has an amazing voice. Not a...
What is it with this album?In the last few weeks I have heard all sorts of claims that it is the greatest album ever recorded, from all sorts of sources, and yet I've never heard it. I've now ordered it just to make sense of all the claims (hype?),...

We all know that Freddie had a "devil for a sideboard", and that Abba "called you last night from Tesco", but sometimes it can be fun to mess with lyrics yourself, but at your own peril.While listening to Mika's Grace Kelly (it's my daughters, ok?) I...
