This continues these prior posts. Time for another volume. This time around Schiff juggles the opus number chronology a bit to open this disc with the two Op 49 works, to more accurately reflect their dates of composition. Perhaps not too...
Calling all Floyd/Waters fans down under.I'm sure you all know already but just in case you don't Roger Waters is touring here in February next year. I've just got my tickets which are on pre-sale at Ticketek from midday today.From his site at Roger...
Just got the new My Morning Jacket live recording = Ekonokos, only half way through it so far, but what a storming performance - definetly one for those old plonkers, stuck in a 1970 rut, who think modern bands can't cut it like they did in the good...

Maybe someone can help with this. Dennis Hopper directed a slightly eccentric film in which he acted with Jodie Foster in the 70s. In this film he played a hit-man who is an amateur sax player. Most of the sax stuff is improvisation. There is one...
Having previously extolled the virtues of the Amazon Marketplace, I thought it might be nice to have a thread for suggesting bargains we may have spotted.By way of example, and to start things off, this arrived yesterday: And what a wonderful set it...

Anyone know of a good recording of Beethovens 4th symphony on CD?
This morning I stumbled across some old threads where Tam and Fredrik were exchanging their classical collections. Guys I am extremely impressed at your knowledge and love of this area of music. To be honest I felt a cultural pleb!By that I mean my...
Hi,My two teenagers are currently playing this newly purchased CD by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on my system. I have to admit it's a cracking recording. Are there any other recordings by these people of the same sound quality please?d
Just listening to a rather good Hendrix CD that came free with the Sunday Times - so it really cost £2 because the news paper is not something that really interests me, but the CD is worth every penny,Little WingVoodoo ChileRoom full of...
Here's the first thread for those who've not read it.Time to revisit this one.I started off this batch of four recordings with the best sounding recording of the Emperor I’ve ever heard. Hell, it’s one of the best sounding recordings of...
After reading the bbc article it doesnt suprise me that the wonderful Jimmy Blunt's 'goodbye my lover'tops the list of requested funeral songs. 'Angels', Robbie Williams Elton Johnesque song is second and a change in mood with 'I'm having the time of...

This sounds good to me, wonder if Loudon is allowed in if Martha has stopped calling him a MFA. ANNOUNCING THE MCGARRIGLE CHRISTMAS HOUR TOUR! Join Martha and Rufus Wainwright, Kate and Anna McGarrigle and several other special family and guests as...
Hello All,I wonder if any of you can help me. I have a number of CDs which have a pink bloom on them, which I believe is called "CD rust". The CDs concerned are mainly on the Polydor label and most of them are Jimi Hendrix CDs.I seem to remember...
The other day, while driving to the airport, my wife and I had a discussion whether the knowledge we possess of the music enchances or hinders our listening experience. Is it important, or not, to know that Shostakovich's 24 Preludes & Fugues were inspired by Bach's music which was played by the Russian composer on the piano in Leipzig a year before he composed his work? How about Messiaen's Quartet for the end of time? Does the known fact that the work was written and performed in a...
Hi all,Just wondering if there were any singer/songwriters who would like to get off their ass and play some music rather than just listen to it.Currently into Indie/rock in a guitar/bass/drums format.In our 40's and into the social/fun/creative side...
After years of loyalty my patience has gone and I will no longer be buying this magazine. What tipped me over the edge? The Top 100 tracks in last months issue - Oasis at 1 & 2. I can no longer buy a magazine that is so obviously read by such cretins!...
One of the absolute highlights of the Edinburgh festival was a wonderful performance of this work, From the Canyons to the Stars, to give it its English name. And to quote from my festival thread:quote:However the star of the evening was NOT...
