Album of the Evening

[BacHolz]

Brian Bromberg - Wood.

One of the best recordings I know, were it for capturing the bass well.

 

Fond of Bromberg myself, I find the sound of the bass

in this recording from Sound Liason to be exceptional.

 

A live recording of upright bass and piano...

Wasp - Live in the Raw

 

[master]

 

 

In the mood for some powerful vocals with Ronnie James Dio...

Nelsons and the BSO with their latest Shostakovich release (redbook stream from Qobuz).

Surprisingly well recorded for DG standards.

 

 

Also on Tidal. Enjoying it, thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Found it on Qobuz, really nice.

 

Chris Connaker really needs to get his promised site upgrade up and running, way to often I'm missing the promised "LIKE" button on this thread.

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

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

Carl Friedrich Abel: The Drexel Manuscript

Paolo Pandolfo

 

[master]

 

A good collection, with all the top hits in it.

 

Good intro to the blues icon from the 70s and 80s who was a regular on the radio.

Nice "Original Album Series" set.

Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé - Nézet- Seguin - Rotterdam

 

 

Excellent 24/96 BIS sound, with a crazy DR.

Excellent 24/96 BIS sound, with a crazy DR.

 

And as someone who's owned this for a while, I can say the performance lives up to the conductor's excellent reputation.

[Guidof]

 

The first recording of the recently rediscovered Piano Concerto in B minor Op. 3 by Moszkowski. Brilliantly played by Ludmil Angelov. Vladimir Kiradjiev conducts the BBC Scottish Orchestra.

 

Also on this album the Russian Rhapsody by Schulz-Evler.

 

Excellent sound from a 24/96 Hyperion download.

Nelsons and the BSO with their latest Shostakovich release (redbook stream from Qobuz).

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]27520[/ATTACH]

 

Surprisingly well recorded for DG standards.

 

Another two of these albums exist of Shostakovich's 10th and Sebelius' 2nd. I read the BSO has a new and excellent recording studio in their symphony hall. Some of the very best SQ I've heard on my modest system!

Blink 182 - Cheshire Cat

 

A new genre, Pop Punk, and possibly the most popular sound in the 90s.

 

I was more into Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit and No Doubt, but most of my friends were into Blink 182 and Green Day.

 

This is a good debut (actually a demo), but just not as good as their later albums.

[EuroChamp]

By far the best rendition of Mozart Requiem.

Of course, just my 2 cents, but I do not agree.

My favourites are Karajan 1961 or Harnoncourt 2003.

Ockeghem: Missa Cuiusvis Toni / Kandel, Ensemble Musica Nova

 

 

Johannes Ockeghem: Missa Cuiusvis Toni & Prolationum / Sound & The Fury

 

 

excerpt from review: "...a polyphonic mass by Johannes Ockeghem (1420-1497), is performed four times. That's right, the same mass! Missa Cuiusvis Toni, which translates as "Mass in Any Mode". But Ockeghem is no ordinary polyphonist; he's the Newton or Darwin of polyphony, one of the foundational composers of European music. And this is no ordinary mass; it's a mathematical cathedral. Just as a great gothic cathedral welters in complexities, spires and arches and sculpture in every nook, yet astounds the visitor with its unity of grandeur, that's the effect of this music. And once you grasp the intricacy of its structure, you'll surely doubt that it's really possible; it's as if Ockeghem had played musical chess with four mainframe computers and won all four games..." https://www.amazon.com/review/R3IPITGKVV9VCL/ref=cm_cr_dp_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000WC8DGY&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=5174&store=music#wasThisHelpful

 

The 2 recordings represent 2 very different performance styles. Ensemble Musica Nova is more approachable.

This is wild Looks like none of the download sites include a booklet. Did you get the CDs?

 

Johann Sebastian Bach: Orgelbüchlein

Careless Love - Madeleine Peyroux

 

 

Perhaps her best, along with "Half the Perfect World" IMHO

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:-)).
