June Tabor and Quercus

Michael Wollny Trio

 

At Cork Jazz Festival two weeks ago.

 

Both great gigs but Quercus were stunning.

Thanks for flagging June Tabor. I I kind of had her on my radar screen but never properly checked her out. Now that Qobuz has several ECM albums for streaming, I can listen to it directly.

Going to see Khatia Buniatishvili in a Liszt and Mussorgsky recital tomorrow, Dec 10.

How was it? I like her, but she’s quite controversial. 

 

Going to see Alina Igrabimova and Cedric Tiberghien tonight at Boulez Saal in Berlin, playing Franck and Vierne.

Avishai Cohen, the man with the trumpet.

 

Matt

One of them should really change their name. Too confusing.

 

I also saw a great Israeli musician:

That's like saying the Marsalis family musicians should change their names... oh wait, I see your point now. :D

I don’t mind same last name, but first and last identical really gets confusing. 

 

Luckily it doesn’t happen that often. That said I once bought a Bill Evans album without thinking and was very suprised that a) the album was pretty horrible and b) the album was by the OTHER Bill Evans, the one with the horn.

Yuja could use a bit more clothing when performing. Not that I'm complaining, but she looks really cold and I feel bad for her ;)

 

Maybe that’s why I often don’t like her style. She’s simply cold and wants to get the thing over with ASAP....

Yuja Wang...forget her taste in clothing. Have a listen to this:

I hope I'm not offending anybody, but the combination of Wang and Dudamel kind of sums up for me what's quite often wrong in recent history of classical music, essentially hype over substance (or in other words, I have yet to hear a recording from any of the two that I like). 

 

But then, de gustibus non est dispudandum.
