sphinxsix Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Who in your opinion passed away way too early.? For me it would be first of all Coltrane and Hendrix. I'd love to hear what they'd do next. Then probably Bill Evans. jabbr 1 Link to comment

Hugo9000 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 ? But just imagine what a genius like Handel would be doing if he were still alive! Liszt, chosen because I want to know if he deserved the hype--should have listed Nicolo Paganini for the same reason lol! Rachmaninov, so he could be recorded properly, by a company like BIS! And the same for Heifetz. The only recording of his that doesn't hurt my ears at times is the Living Stereo hybrid SACD remastering of the Sibelius violin concerto. 请教别人一次是5分钟的傻子，从不请教别人是一辈子的傻子 Link to comment

Whenever I play any performance of the Sibelius violin concerto my wife insists on adding the Heifetz Living Stereo to the queue. Hugo9000 1 Link to comment
TubeLover Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 John Lennon Jimi Hendrix Phil Ochs Tim Buckley Both died far too young and had so much more to offer. Lennon's insight, as he experienced more, over the years might have resulted in some brilliant songs. Hendrix was only scratching the surface. Look at the leap to Electric Ladyland and imagine what might have come after. Ochs wrote an amazing number of beautiful, moving and topical songs in his short life, and I regret often the loss of the songs we never heard, had he lived. Tim Buckley was a brilliant songwriter and performer who was almost completely unique in style. JC wgscott 1 Link to comment

I also wish Martha Argerich was 20 now and signing a deal with some good audiophile label.. For me she hasn't recorded enough (and as for SQ well enough especially as her early recordings are regarded) and unfortunately she probably never will.. Link to comment

This guy used to show up at all the Bay Area anti-war protests in the 1990s in a van decorated with his propaganda. I long since forgot about him, but the other day my kid comes home and says "I saw a really weird van with slogans painted on it that say Stephen King killed John Lennon." It made an impression.

TubeLover Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If you have ever had any interest in Phil Och's, or simply if you appreciate music, there is a brilliant compilation/tribute album out, which has two discs of his most memorable songs performed by an amazingly gifted lineup of musicians touched by Phil's contributions. It's called "What's That I Hear", and hopefully is available on Tidal too (no way to check atm). Strongly recommended listening. https://www.allmusic.com/album/whats-that-i-hear-the-songs-of-phil-ochs-mw0000036524 JC wgscott 1 Link to comment
