Album of the Evening

John Illsley; bass player of the good old Dire Straits

Beautiful, velvety voice. I know of four albums of hers, this one for me is her best.

The Swiss are a bit slow and sometimes a bit boring. So goes the cliché.

 

Well, there is a part of Switzerland that has the language of Italy, the weather of Italy, most of the food of Italy, and also some outstanding musicians:

Bach: Brandenburg Concertos - Diego Fasolis

 

Fasolis' Lugano-based I Barocchisti do an excellent job here, this is anything but boring. Plus, very well recorded.

I would have to concur with David in asking the question "excuse me?", especially since the two albums recommended by Musicophile are really outstanding (thank you for that, I did not know my fellow Swiss:-))

Just to clarify, I was referring to a cliché about a certain nationality, not my personal opinion.

 

Back to topic:

 

Bruckner 8 - Wand - Berliner Philharmoniker

i am very well aware of that; my "smilies" most probably got lost in the conversation. What stands is my "thank you" for the recommendations you kindly made at that time.

Firedog,

Very soothing, lovely voice. Swedish is a beautiful language; unfortunately I don't understand a word.

Her 3rd of 4 albums.

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Sorry, her again

 

 

Her last of four albums (2013)

Beautiful new recording of Debussy's Preludes:

Probably listening to this the 3rd or 4th time in 24hrs; simply stunning to my ears!

Many thumbs up for these!

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Very relaxing, but never dull...

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

For me one of the greatest "pop/rock" albums ever...

 

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

If you like Mumford & Sons or Of Monsters and Men, you might not be completely opposed to:

 

Two personal favourites are Cleopatra and Gale Song (soundtrack Hunger Games, Catching Fire)

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Reggae with the unique Ottmar Liebert sound:

The man is just so talented I had to have a listen to this. Thanks for posting.

 

You are welcome. I just love his music.

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Thank you! Listening to "Wood" now; what a wonderful record

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

I certainly agree. I like her earlier album "Ceremony" quite a bit.

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Here is a brilliant album from a very gifted musician. A modern classic!

 

Anna Von Hausswolff The Miraculous

Currently listening to "Songs from the Grave". Her voice on this album does remind me of Toyah (which can mean "you have to get used to it:-)).

Streamed through Qobuz and listened to while on a Sunday morning stroll through the neighbourhood:

 

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Simply great relaxing music with interesting lyrics. And a great voice! If some might think the voice on "Inch By Inch" sounds like Joan Baez..., well she is actually there in a duet with Thea!

For me, the early 20th century in Europe is one of the most interesting periods, be that philosophy, literature, or music. The album below for me does represent the different - sometimes rather disparate, as a representation of what was going one - streams of thoughts, feelinge, etc.:

I searched for Vienna not Vienne 1900, the limits of search engines being too literal.

I had thought more of Amazon search, failed on this one. Many thanks...

 

Thank you all for chiming to locate the album. For those who have access to Qobuz: Vienne 1900 | Compositeurs Divers par Arditti String QuartetÂ*– Télécharger et écouter l'album

Not much to say, I think: Martha is playing:
