Album of the Evening

[rando]

I got burnt.  Thought I was settling in for a nice evening of disjointed operatic highlights with almost no need to hit next track on my player.  Every single disc from the substantial collection I picked up features talking over the orchestra throughout every track.  I'm posting one as warning to others, not to verbally pout at my dissatisfaction.  

 

This equally local production saved the evening by being the lone disc actually producing music.  This disc predates the passing of Stephen Paulus who is featured.

Did you throw beer bottles at a chicken wire cage to get the full effect of a live performance?

I think you may have  confused  "Theme from Rawhide"

 

It was in reference to the scene that features his album title.  Apologies if there was any confusion.

Stack of album art photos I need to take is mounting.  Depiction of amateurish engineering using professional equipment to record concerts over a 5 year period in a temple will have to suffice.  At least a few performances rose above the recording techniques employed against them.

In a recent poll on tinkering Chris is always doing to maintain order.  I mentioned a best and worst case scenario for ownership of specific threads.  This and "Song Of The Day" being the ones in mind as a best case, upkeep instead of moderation, not requiring first post structure charts or other in depth summations of points presented.  Basically the ability to remove double posts and reconnect links as called for.   

 

From a technical perspective the only improvement I can see benefiting those of us who post in here is a back end photo analysis software solution linking previous examples of an album being posted.  Not only does that seem pretty far down the road, but almost certain to become a novel feature after limited use exploring one's interests.

 

Anyone have thoughts on this most unnecessary attempt to fix what isn't really broken?

You might enjoy the Steinbacher/Janowski on Pentatone of these same works.  Glad to hear the conductor in your selection is finding success in his well deserved new post.

I know, this invasion has me shaken as well.  Someone keeps feeding them.

Had to give up on the 3 CD Bernstein.

This Andean band originates from a small village called Atahualpa in Ecuador, South America. Ecuador Manta, based in St. Paul Minnesota, started in 1992. The group has a unique style compared to other traditional Andean bands. They have created their music style over the years by using the traditional rhythms from Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Colombia and combining them with more contemporary Latin and Caribbean rhythms.

 

I bought the physical copy, but see they offer free 320kbs downloads of all their recordings. (My AV blocked something on the page so here is just the album I listed.)

He played back-up for Robert Johnson, recorded with Sonny Boy Williamson, and "cut heads" with Johnny Shines.  These significant, but long overlooked, 1938 recordings by guitar wizard Calvin Frazier echo the Delta blues of Johnson and the rumble of Detroit's boogie-woogie pianists

 

The title song can be downloaded in a 41 MB WAV from The Library of Congress site.

 

As can many more recordings in the same archive by folklorist Alan Lomax.

Five works named Flemish Rhapsody (+1 named Dahomeyan Rhapsody).  No covers.
