Friday Night in San Francisco - Live

 

Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia

 

[Priaptor]

since I bought the "high res" Apple Beatles series, I listen to Abbey Road.

 

The remastering was done extremely well especially that wonderful, "second side" tracks 9-16. I was more than impressed.

I love that guy!

 

Live in Paris 1992 is one of my favorites

Jan Garbarek, The Hilliard Ensemble - Officium

 

 

This was the first in a series of collaborations between wonderful male vocal quartet Hilliard and jazz saxophonist Jan Garbarek. The tracks are an eclectic mixture of early music - chants and polyphony performed by Hilliard and improvisation by Garbarek. The sound they achieve is amazing and ethereal, the sax at times sounding incredibly like one of the voices. Highly recommended.

 

That is a FANTASTIC album; not good AMAZING. I love Garbarek. His work is surreal. Great choice

Excellent live concert. I was just turned on to him the other day

Wow did I discover a real gem the other night!

An understatement. One of the best live recordings I have heard in a long time.

Guardian Angel Rachel Podger

 

 

192/24 download from qobuz.

 

Works for solo violin by J.S.Bach, Matteis the elder, Tartini, Pisendel and Biber. Bach's representation here is the flute partita in A minor transposed down a major second to G minor for violin. The title comes from the Passacaglia at the end of Biber's Rosary Sonatas, which is supposed to be related to the Feast of the Guardian Angel.

 

This was mastered by Jared Sacks direct to DSD as far as I know? You can download the DSD version at:

If you enjoy thoughtful, tasty jazz vocals with a Jazz Passengers feel try this one.

Excellent. Yes Redbook is NOT dead

[Priaptor]

Very creative, where to buy a download or CD?

 

Edited:

Ok. Qobuz as usual ;-)

 

Yes as usual. By far the best site out there and has just about everything.

 

I listened to that album three times yesterday and like it more each time

 

 

The Jack Johnson and Friends Curious George I bought yesterday and is also excellent. Great music and his best SQ IMO to date. That comes in 24/96.

This is my favorite thread on CA. Musicophile if your scotch recommendations are as good as your music recommendations I am sure it is excellent. While not a scotch drinker I will get a bottle for my Montana home!

 

And Barry please release some music, it has been too long.

[Priaptor]

Hi Howie,

 

Thank you for that. Much appreciated.

In fact, I'm recording next week and hope that will become the next release.

The feel at the rehearsals has been great.

I'm very excited to be working on this project and will be using some new ancillary gear to record it.

 

And if all goes well, the artist I mentioned a few posts ago will be the release after that.

 

If I'm lucky, some items to come will have folks posting about them in this thread.

 

Best regards,

Barry

Kenny Edwards was a founding member of the Stone Poneys with Linda Ronstadt, a member of her touring band, and a musical guiding force for her throughout her career. He was also a member of Canned Heat, and the much-underappreciated Bryndle, with Andrew Gold, Wendy Waldman, and Karla Bonoff.

This album, his second and final solo effort, released in 2009, is an acoustic tour-de-force, with wonderful SQ.

Amazing recording and more still that it is remastered from 1964.

Bach: Ouvertures - Freiburger Barockorchester (24/44)

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]14294[/ATTACH]

 

As much as I was disappointed by their recent Brandenburg concertos, this 2011 Harmonia Mundi recording remains my reference version for the Orchestral Suites.

 

Highly recommended.

 

Thanks. Bought it on your recommendation and it is superb.

[Priaptor]

Very good CD sound, captured by Gerald de Haro and the kinda like Miles's TUTU trumpet record. Recommended.

 

Paolo Fresu - Mélos

Beethoven: Complete Works for Violoncello and Piano

 

I admit I know little about what constitutes a good rendition, do some reading when available, but I do know what sounds good and I have listened to this 3 times since I bought it and absolutely love it.

 

 

eClassical - Beethoven: Complete Works for Violoncello and Piano

[Priaptor]

Inspired by this, just adding the great Isabelle Faust:

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]17237[/ATTACH]

 

I have that and love it. Haven't listened to it in awhile. Just added to my playlist for tonight.

[Priaptor]

Iiro Rantala String Trio (24/96) from ACT.

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]17489[/ATTACH]

This album is just weird, but in a really positive sense.

 

Iiro Rantala is semi-known from the Finnish Jazz Trio Töykeät, which was already a bit special, and now on this album he plays with a violin and a cello. What style is this? Not really Jazz, not really classical, certainly not "crossover" (arrgh), but just beautiful music.

 

Absolutely worth checking out.

Another fantastic recommendation. Very "emotional" and moving album and very well recorded. Once again thanks for another great one.

[Priaptor]

This may not be everyone's taste but I was very pleasantly surprised for those of you who are into Folk. Some tracks have some "explicit" language but who cares. I bought it as a "drive to work" album but listened last night and it is very good

Not good, but fantastic album. Music is great, Christophers is amazing and one if not the best recorded live jazz I have ever heard. I recommend this very highly.

[Priaptor]

Evan Christopher and Django á la Créole, finesse, redbook CD, XLD conversion 44.1/16 to AIFF. Production quality is superb! Highly recommended. Thank you for recommendation of the Live! album by the same artists, or for both if that is what prompted my purchase.

 

Enjoy the music,

Richard

Evan Christopher's Django à la Créole (Live)

 

I don't know if you saw my post on this album on 4/21/2015 BUT IMHO one of the best I have ever heard and IMHO his best recording to date. He is incredible and this recording in particular amazing.
