..and also this one (IMO more convincing than his Bach).

 

I kind of like his Bach every now and then when I'm in that sort of mood. But I will have to give his P. Glass a listen.

[Daccord]

Not even noon yet but I'm too excited by this one to wait.

[Daccord]

Continuing on a theme here:

And boy howdy, available on Tidal! Tidal is having trouble with pieces over about 4 minutes tonight. I bought the download from 7digital.

The 9th. 24-96. IMO Karajan's hair on this photo looks extremely cool, I'd love to dye mine like that if it wasn't already all grey  But if I used some black color and left just these two areas on the sides grey.. hmmm.. have to seriously think about it 

 

[Daccord]

My nephew visited recently. I can always count on him to bring over something interesting.

(Available on Tidal, 7digital, and highresaudio, but you must search for "Strozzi: Virtuosissima compositrice" instead of "Barbara Strozzi")

 

[Daccord]

Dakhabrakha - Light

Probably on most streaming services. Available for purchase on bandcamp and 7digital

The praise you all give to Yuja Wang makes me curious. I have 2 albums of her in my repository, but am not impressed at all.

Given the praise is not just from us all, I think it's up to you to explain why you're not impressed. Is it because she's young, Asian, and attractive, and therefore can't be seriously good? Or, since you're a EuroChamp, is it just because she's not Euro?

Last night I listened to this and actually didn't stop to do anything else, it is that good.

 

 

Is that a Roon screen shot? I always have to click to enlarge and then zoom in to see what you're listening to. I like it when people post album covers. I'll give this one a shot.

Yes it is.  Does this work better for you?

 

Yes it does. Thank you.

I just discovered Lhasa de  Sela, forgive me for screaming from the roof tops, as your all probably familiar with her, i can’t recommend this highly enough to those who like excellent music combined with excellent sound, and those who haven’t. Is this her best recording?

 

Sadly, she died far too young. Only three albums, so it won't take you long to find your favourite.

[Daccord]

It's morning, and I'm listening to a single cantata (BWV 123), not an "album". Since ripping all 71 CDs and then organizing everything into works instead of discs I've had a lot of fun listening to a different cantata (in sequence) every morning.

 

[Daccord]

Bartok's String Quartet No 1 by the Emerson String Quartet.  Can anyone recommend a more recent performance?

16-44 @AnotherSpin I agree - a very beautiful album.

 

I love this thread!

For a while I felt strangely guilty about enjoying this, but now I just enjoy it.

[Daccord]

Not on Tidal. I don't know about any other services.

Album of the morning, recorded at Koerner Hall in Toronto earlier this year. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert, so it's great to have the album at last (released this week).

[Daccord]

Look at the mess that Tidal made of this relatively new release of Rigoletto,  from the funky cover crop to the incorrect track order (ignoring disc number). I ended up buying the download, which I thoroughly enjoyed. 

 

[Daccord]

I bought this LP in 1975 or perhaps 1976. I've never seen it on CD, so I made a needle drop a long time ago. It's not on Tidal, and whatever Spotify has is nothing like the LP I bought. I listen to it a couple of times a year, and it always sparks joy. I think this may be the greatest prog rock album ever.

You can find this on Qobuz: https://www.qobuz.com/fr-fr/album/illusions-on-a-double-dimple-triumvirat/0724353516253

 

And thank you for reminding me of that treasure.

 

If only Qobuz were available in Canada. But I clicked on your link anyway and the track list doesn't match the LP. It's showing what Spotify shows. What's Timothy? It's certainly not on the LP.

Not giving up:-)

 

Amazon sells a CD, that looks very much like what Qobuz offers. Seems like an extended version of the original LP: https://www.amazon.co.jp/Illusions-Double-Dimple-Triumvirat/dp/B007MV8458/ref=tmm_acd_title_2?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1576466902&sr=8-1

 

Thanks. My son speaks Japanese and he's going to Japan after Christmas to visit his grandmother. And he likes Triumvirat. I'll ask him to do some investigating.

I found this on Tidal: 

https://tidal.com/album/1435619

Same mouse? Same songs?

 

I found that too, with Google. But after logging in, Tidal tells me the content is no longer available. In fact, Tidal does have a listing for Triumvirat, but there is no associated content - just "similar" suggestions. Mister Ten Percent strikes again!

I doubt that will be necessary for our purposes.  The album covers are both in English on that Amazon Japan link @dieterjp posted.  Timing is slightly off compared to that shown on the Youtube thumbnail.

 

 

Delivery within Japan to Obaa-chan's and pickup by son should save me a bundle on shipping.
