Jud Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The Trinity Session Cowboy Junkies Believe the hype. Holy cow! I am probably the only one, but even though the sound quality is fine, for me the breathiness of Margo Timmins' voice gets tiresome after a while.

Ouch I'm serious thinking about going to see them live later this month. Trinity Sessions Revisited is one giant step above this recording. DVD. I think you can buy the 24-48 file. True reference.

kumakuma Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm sure you'll enjoy the heck out of them. Like I said, I'm probably the only one. I've heard their style of music called "melancholic country blues".

BacHolz Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yep. To say 'the one and only' about M. Eicher and ECM would be absolutely justified. I must say that 10-15 years ago I used to find 80% of the stuff issued by ECM boring, now I find 80% of it fascinating.. BTW - worth seeing IMO: https://ecmreviews.com/2015/05/16/sounds-and-silence-travels-with-manfred-eicher/ Thanks for jogging my memory. I have almost forgotten that I have this and soon is a good time to watch again.

sphinxsix Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Tonight I'm finally getting to this (sort of got buried and has slipped my attention). Rising Grace - Wolfgang Muthspiel with Brad Mehldau, Brian Blade, Ambrose Akinmusire and Larry Grenadier [ATTACH=CONFIG]33818[/ATTACH] I know this one. Smooth and refined. I'm going to play this one once again. One of the most interesting albums of 2016 and some quite fresh sounds IMHO. The names that don't need no introduction, I believe. Link to comment
BacHolz Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'll be getting mine on Friday along with this Diana Krall - Turn Up The Quiet [ATTACH=CONFIG]33817[/ATTACH] My error, the Krall album "Turn Up The Quiet" won't be released until May 5th.

Booster MPS Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Here is a must-listen-to-suggestion. A truly great album! Elbow - Little Fictions https://tidal.com/album/67757927 [ATTACH=CONFIG]33822[/ATTACH] This one is good. If you happen to be a fan of the band, this album probably gets them at some of their best moments. As good as anything else they have done for sure. Link to comment
BacHolz Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 For our early music crowd, this just caught my attention. Latest work of Stile Antico Divine Theatre - Sacred Motets by Giaches de Wert (SACD or DSD download) From their site... "Best known as a madrigalist, Wert is often cited as as a major influence on Monteverdi, but his religious works have until now received little attention. In this rich selection of motets, his skill as a composer of sacred music is established beyond doubt."

simone Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The latest effort by this wonderful duo. Actually one of their best. Music and recording quality at the top. Highly recommended! « Information is not knowledge / Knowledge is not wisdom / Wisdom is not truth / Truth is not beauty / Beauty is not love / Love is not music / MUSIC IS THE BEST. » FZ Link to comment
Klavier Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 One might argue that "Capriccio Espagnol," "Pictures at an Exhibition" and " The Firebird Suite Round Dance of the Princesses" do not belong on the guitar, but Caballero certainly makes a convincing case. Staggering playing and very good sound.

Klavier Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I started with No.3 on this new release. Predictably, she's volatile and dramatic, but also plays some ravishing pianissimos. The outer movements are a bit faster than I'm used to, but they work for me. Good sound; however, the tympani and bass drum are a bit feeble. I see that posting the text after the image works better!

Interesting. I recently tried out Vanessa Benelli Mosell's recording of the two masterpieces, and while not Horowitz, it was better than what I expected. Need to try out Katia's new recording soon. in the meantime, streaming here: Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment

BacHolz Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The latest effort by this wonderful duo. Actually one of their best. Music and recording quality at the top. Highly recommended! Thanks for his, I've enjoyed their earlier work. This seems to be an early and somewhat limited release here at this time. I love the cover art. One might argue that "Capriccio Espagnol," "Pictures at an Exhibition" and " The Firebird Suite Round Dance of the Princesses" do not belong on the guitar, but Caballero certainly makes a convincing case. Staggering playing and very good sound. If that doesn't stretch your sense of what a guitarist should attempt, there is the Dvorâk Symphony No. 9, Op.95 "From the New World". Just returned from a Telemann concert (250 years since his death). I'll end the evening's tribute with this...
