I was visiting Ralph Towner's website after I saw Oregon recently, and noted a title that appears to include both Ralph Towner and Robben Ford from the late 90's called "Blues Connotation". Anyone heard it? I would guess it would be an instrumental...

In the midst of a Beethoven feast, I thought some less Germanic piano music might be welcome. Chopin? Nah, not right now. Prokofiev? I needed something less aggressive, not more. Debussy? Yes, Debussy would do nicely. I haven’t picked up any new...

Must admit, I'm a bit of a fan of this series (particularly the DG releases of Kempff's work). However, Britannia this month had an offer on a set of Solti's earlier recordings, which I couldn't very well pass up (also on Clifford Curzon's, but I...

This thread is not intended to trivialise or discuss current events.'Off the Wall' Exquisitely produced by Quincy Jones is one of my favourite albums to show off my NAIM system. I defy anyone to resist the rythm and excitement of the opening cut...
The music is so simple but with a nice melody.
In a week in which I have been underwhelmed by the new Bruce and overwhelmed by the Fall Peel sessions I have also been charmed by the new album from the above. It's the third of their comeback and, frankly, comes near to being a career best. The...

Hi AllI have often heard various commentators suggest that the holy grail of Hi-FI is to get closer to the live sound that is heard at a concert and this usually meets with no disapproval. My tuppence worth is that this is completely wrong. Anyone who...
HelloI've just heard that HMV have cancelled Antonio's PA which was scheduled for the 2nd of June. This is because they are currently doing some renovation which has escalated, and they think it would be too noisy for him to play. It will not be held...
I can buy the plastic inserts used in CD?DVD racks I want to make my own racks none of the ones I have seen appeal to me!
Just happened to be strolling past Fopp on Saturday when I noticed yet more bargain remastered classic albums for just £5 each. Re-re-masters of all those Yes classics looked tempting, but then I noticed "Dark Side of the Moon" in its 30th year...
I just HAVE to open this thread to express my greatest respect and love to Keith Jarretts music, in general - and to his latest, long-awaited, long pre-ordered and now "conceived" life solo record.Already done in 2002, this Osaka and Tokyo recording...
