Hi All,What are the most beautiful/most melodiousclassical music/opera tracks in your record collection ?Cheers,

I didn’t really need yet another Beethoven piano sonata cycle, and I wasn’t really looking for one, but when I stumbled upon this one for only $28, well, I figured I might as well. You only live once, and so on. Anyhoo, I’m already...

Its easy to play the 'I'm a music lover' card in these audio centered forums. Some of us even play an instrument or two. There is sometimes an inverse relationship between musical prowess and sophistication of ones hifi. To prove a point...here is a...

This is one I suspect will interest a few. 'Blinking Lights and Other Revelations' released today, 33 track double CD (and only £8.99 at Amazon). Reviews at the weekend described it as sprawling, home-spun, varied and largely successful.Bruce

Hi folks.Was enjoying "Saxophone Collossus" by Sonny Rollins the other day, and it dawned on me that I really like a lot of the more conventional, late fifties-to-sixties Jazz, but have yet to discover so much of it.So, I thought, I wonder what the...

Did anyone catch the BBC4 program on Van the Man at Glasto? Was it/he any good?Couldn't record this as well as the rest to watch later so I would be eternally grateful if anyone could let me have a copy of the prog.ThanksSteve

Having been really disappointed to 'miss the boat' for tickets to see Antony and The Johnsons (AATJ) appearing at the Queen Elizabeth Hall it was a good day when I saw a forum member had a couple of spare ticket . . . To cut a long story short, thanks...

YOUNG GIRL - 22/05/1968 4 weeks at #1 - 17 weeks on chart Young girl, get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line Better run, girl You're much too young, girl With all the charms of a woman You've kept the secret of your youth You led me to believe you're old enough To give me love And now it hurts to know the truth, woah Young girl, get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line Better run,...

I’ve been pestering her record label concerning a vinyl release for some time now and they finally replied with a “Yes! We are making vinyl.......stay tuned!” If anyone is interested here’s the link to her web site web link ....

Just listening/watching Kasabian - seem rather good. I seem to recognise a few riffs - mid seventies...Anybody know anything about them? Anybody recommended recordings?

I wonder if many of us are swapping his cd´s for DVD´s.For example I bought the last White Stripes cd but I´m thinking to get the DVD!

anyone get any comments about this new album?

What or who, are the albums and performers you surreptitiously check out prospective romantic/ close friends with?I mean John Martyn (Solid air, One World, Bless the Weather), Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, i've found if a lover appreciates/likes these...

As many of you know I'm a bit of a Mahler fan, and I am particularly fond of Abbado's recent efforts with the BPO (their 7th is particularly fine). So, I was quick to purchase their new recording of the 6th symphony.First off, it's on two discs, which...

It seems fine on BBC2, on BBC 3 I have to turn the volume up to - 10 to get anywhere near a decent sound ,whereas BBC2 its at -20 on my AV system & soundsO.K. not brilliant but O.K. I am using a Denon AS11R !

I have had this albumn for quite a while but for some reason have only recently started to listen to it regularly. I think it is the best thing they have done - discuss.

Why not? Yes, I’ve been binging on Beethoven, adding new CDs of his music at an almost alarming rate. But the local CD hut had a sale on EMI and, well, I just couldn’t pass it up. I’m not a newcomer to Mr Kovacevich’s EMI...

I have not listened much to quartets but wanted to get started here. What is considered the definitive recordings on CD?

Calling Elvis fans . . . I've always had a curiosity about Elvis but strangely have never got into exploring his stuff.A friend recently gave me a copy of Sunrise - which is a compliation of his early Sun recordings.. . . and now I'm really...

I've just received this new album, having heard a track on the Bob Harris Show.Any one else know of this band from Northampton? Web site with track samples here.Decidedly retro 80's feel with strong flavours of U2, The Psychedelic Furs and The Sound....
