Speaking of Charlie Haden, maybe my favorite album that he appears on, Old and New Dreams second release:

 

 

+1. However, I would prefer original inspiration to this group, classic Ornette Coleman Quartet... And, if we are speaking about Haden, I would like to mention Keith Jarrett' Quartet recordings on Impulse (Byablue, etc.) and, of course, Survivor's Suite on ECM.

I love Max Richter, and I love the Four Seasons, but would I love Max Richter's recomposition of the Four Seasons? 

 

Turns out, yes!

 

I heard Daniel Hope recording on DG and Hope again live with the same recomposed version (coupled with real Four Seasons)... Not for me...

[AnotherSpin]

In combination with Leffe abbey product or alone?

Don't you think that her name's similarity to K.Kardashian has some promotional value.? 

[...]

 

 

 

Kim Kashkashian made first recording before Kim Kardashian was born.

@AnotherSpin 

I apologize for my ignorance but I don't really know who Kim Kardashian is except from the fact that (if I'm not mistaken) she had something to do with Formula 1. She's not a driver though, is she.?  (ok, I gueess she's into fashion or cosmetics, but I don't really want to know).

I actually also don't know a single song by Justin Bieber (he's kind of one boy - boys band and he's not related to Heinrich Ignaz Franz Bieber in any way, right.? ) or Lady Gaga for that matter. Somehow I have always been able to stay away from cultural phenomena I wasn't interested in - probably due to the fact that there are already too many such phenomena I am interested in  

 

I am not a person to ask about Kim Kardashian, she is virtually not known outside of US, I guess. Ask @rando who mentions her repeatedly. I took her birthday date from wikipedia. The same with Biber, sorry.

I didn't suspect you of some particular interest in these two, was just saying.

 

Nothing wrong with interest to this or another person. It is just out of my reach. Some people of egregious visibility in US are virtually unknown in some other parts of the world.

It resembled the cover of old recording from Albert Mangelsdorff

Hi rando,

 

Which choice are you referring to - my Mahler 4th favorites, or my last post on Kullervo? 

 

 

I must be missing the context, but I'm struggling to parse these 2 sentences. Please remind me what this is referring to?

 

That's the beauty of Rando's posts - nobody has a clue what 's the meaning.

[AnotherSpin]

Bostridge performs Winterreise for decades and wrote a book about his obsession with this cycle. Recent live recording. Great cover, imho.

Through all of your long history of rambling excoriating behavior I've witnessed in this thread.  Hard pressed to remember an actual album ever being posted!  

 

And?

[AnotherSpin]

First recording from Pogorelich in 21th century. Those who's been dismissing Pogo's strictly individual approach easily may be relaxed. This recording will not give them a reason to change their opinions. Very unusual, to say the least. Eloquent recording of very strange and individualistic reading from one of kind maestro.

Christian Tetzlaff, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (Robin Ticciati)

Beethoven & Sibelius: Violin Concertos [24/48]

 

Qobuz

 

New release from Sep 13th. I "really" like it!

It is to early for a final statement: Maybe it could become a true reference for me. SQ is excellent too.

 

 

 

Strange... "Heard" Kavakos' Sibelius Concerto in a dream last night

Hi res or 16bit.? (or maybe live?) 

 

I like Sibelius Concerto in this particular performance. Other than that, dreams have their own formats...)

Imagine.. All music we hear in our dreams is in DreaMQA format (they somehow did it!).. It has DRM and after waking up you have to pay.. Just an idea for BS and other greedy guys 

 

Well... anyway, what we consider to be a waking state is just another dream. It is possible to wake up finally and not be dreaming any more.

My impression exactly.

 

Too bad that in the early 80s the HIP influences hadn’t impacted the mainstream yet.

 

And unfortunately the only new recent recordings are Currentzis (over the top) and Nézet-Séguin (a bit meh).

 

I wonder if I should start a kickstarter campaign for the perfect Figaro. Given all the nonsense that gets funded, at least this would be a worthy goal.

 

I liked Levine's a lot. Didn't listen for years though.

My preferences are the opposite of yours.  I love old-fashioned romanticism.  I especially lament the HIP influence on mid to late Romantic music like Schumann and Brahms.

 

For example, I love the Brahms violin sonatas in the flowing style of the Khachatryan siblings.

 

Prefer HIP almost everywhere now.

Try Kancheli's Chiaroscuro on the same label with the same players. It is heart achingly beautiful.

Brand new on Qobuz today. 

 

Did you listen it already?

Gericault painting is awesome and mind boggling by any means. Why mimiс it for a pathetic cover to one-day worth "musicianship" is beyond my grasp.

[AnotherSpin]

Another Goldberg variations. Very, very far from the traditional way of performing. Not for Gustav Leonhardt fans. Actually, the Busoni adaptation.

New from Vikingur Olaffson

I haven't heard it, is it as good as:

 

 

Both recordings are outstanding. And, maybe, by different reasons. Take both...)
