Jolly indeed is the Concerto called "Il Gardelino." Frsh and far too little known music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYrvOQiCx4I Enjoy. It only a few minutes long, so not much time to loose! ATB from George PS: I have...
The first print run of the new album 'Blue Horizon' has apparently sold out and Amazon reckon to have fresh stock on 24th March. Link to WA web-site . Rawk! John.
I’m looking to expand my PF collection a bit by adding Pulse and Ummagumma, and getting a better quality recording of Meddle. My CD of Meddle is an EMI ’94 remaster 724382974925 which is ok but I’m sure I can get a better one (Mike1380’s original pressing vinyl version sounds much better). Trouble is when I look on Amazon etc there are a bewildering number of different CD versions of these albums and apart from price there is no means of differentiating by quality of recording. Even the...
Archie Shepp & Amina Claudine Myers - Live in Karlstorbahnhof, Heidelberg Just returning from one of the Enjoy Jazz Festival concerts currently happening in my area. The old man and the younger lady burnt the house down ! Let's put the cover of forgiving and forgetting over the sound of the P.A. but fortunately you were able to hear both the piano and the saxes through the amplifiers, and that was a pleasure to do ! Shepp (whom I saw before, when he was much younger) still has so much...
Can anyone recommend a recording? I have Tuckwell on vinyl and Pyatt on CD, but find the latter misses some of the fun. Is Thompson on Naxos worth investigating? Thanks for any suggestions.
As many of you know it's Record Store Day this Saturday. Free gigs at record stores across the land. Last year it nearly brought a tear to my eye to see queues outside record shops. Here in London the epicentre will be Berwick Street in...
The War on Drugs - Lost in the dream I realise it's still only April, but methinks I already have my nomination for album of the year. Gorgeous melodies, sumptuous arrangements - it's no surprise this record took one year to make....
Dear all, Knowing that in this forum - or portably the UK in general- many followers and connoisseurs of Henry Purcell cherish his music, I may well enter a “lion’s den” …hopefully none of you will be „crossed over“ by my latest musical suggestion: “Music for a while - Improvisations on Purcell”, Christina Pluhar and l'arpeggiata Details & samples here: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classi...Purcell/hnum/4024992 I admit that I’m not very familiar with the music of Purcell, even though Baroque...
I've been meaning to start this thread to create a useful guide to forum members up and down the country, and abroad, of recommended s/h record stores to visit on our travels. I'll kick it off with two in the Watford area near where I live....
Hello, does anybody has experience with Der Ring des Nibelungen, live recorded at Bayreuth 1991/92, conducted by Daniel Barenboim, published by Warner on an USB stick? How is SQ? Thanks in advance Ralf
Sod "What Are You Listening to Now !!!! I want to be sure I am still around to listen in another 10 years when this young lady's voice gets mature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2da7N6ADm9s
I'm going with "The Sermon". BBM

Bloody Hell! So good. Repeated later tonight at 12.50. Keith
So i woke up today excited to buy a pair of tickets to see a band called First Aid Kit at the Islington Assembly Rooms. Tickets went on sale at 9am this morning and i was on ticket master at 8.59 refreshing the page. Before i could even buy them the tickets completely sold out! Not 6 minutes later, people were reselling the tickets at £75+ each! They were only £25 face value! Just felt the need to vent, as i find this so unfair for genuine fans who have to pay completely over inflated prices...
...because after all this is what hi fi & hi end for, right? to start with, here's one of the best Tchaikovsky piano concert recordings, Richter vs Karajan ( almost literally ) -
What live jazz recordings really do it for you? I like Wes Montgomery "Full House" and Miles Davis "Live at the Blackhawk", along with the Cannonball Adderley Quintet live in both Chicago and San Francisco. These recordings really...
Exciting news today from one of my very favourite bands (seen them 19 times, have every record, DVD etc). There's a new Goldfrapp album on the way, "Tales of Us", out 9th September, on vinyl, CD, MP3, 24-bit WAV and a limited edition deluxe box...
Having a lazy Saturday morning and just put on "Gordon" by the Bareneaked Ladies (16/44 flac) on the SU. Now I've never really considered myself a huge fan of the Ladies, but putting this on just transported me back about 15 - 20 years and I find...
Who do you think are the unsung heroes in your opinion? This is not necessarily groups or songs no one's heard of, but those who had their five minutes then were forgotten about by the rest of us. The La's "There She Goes Again" is one Id say...
I've come to realize that the Beethoven Cello Sonatas are probably the piece (s?) of music I listen to most frequently. I listen to a lot of music of all sorts, but keep coming back to these, and have for years. My two favorites are...
