I agree with you.  She is darn good.

This is my first exposure to the music of Imelda May. I really like her sound. Just went over to Imelda May's website to learn more about her and her music. I'll be downloading the album momentarily.

 

One of the best things I like about this thread is the exposure of new artists. Thanks to all!

Telemann: Fantasies for Violin Solo Rachel Podger

 

3rd leg of my traversal of Telemann fantasias for solo instruments. Have to take a break now though since the harpsichord fantasias are in the mail and probably won't arrive for a while.

 

 

Telemann: 36 Fantasias for Harpsichord

Andrea Coen

 

 

Final leg of traversal of Telemann fantasias for solo instruments. The whole thing has now been done first time ever on CA

Been humming 'A Kiss to Built a Dream on' for an hour or so, so:

If you are a fan of Glen, I would recommend this one.  Great band, horn arrangements, and songs.  Give this a listen!

Very good 24/96 of an old fortepiano.

Totally agree with you. It is one of my „records 2 die 4“

Prokofiev: Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2. Very engaging performances by Matthew Trusler with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Grant Llewellyn.

 

Detailed and natural sound, with excellent soloist to orchestra balance from Orchid Classics (label which the violinist is a founder of). A 24/96 Qobuz download.

Bach: The Toccatas Angela Hewitt

 

[rando]

Last of these reissues.  This, primarily for the always encouraging expert (Barry Cooper) giving merit to manuscripts they then use to attach their name to an unfinished, unpublished work.  Beethoven's 10th Symphony; 1st movement wedged between a duo of overtures and outtakes from rehearsals on the final disc.  I wanted to get this over with before having a chance to determine if Weller and his orchestra felt empowered to take on an equal amount of risk in their playing on the other five discs.

I have almost all of her Bach recordings. Going through them on and off now. This toccata album is very special--before hearing this version, I didn't think it's possible to produce a credible piano version at all... Now album of the evening:

 

Vivaldi: L'Olimpiade

Rinaldo Alessandrini, Concerto Italiano

 

 

Compelling performance from everybody and the orchestra. Fairly typical mistaken identity plot to get the story rolling. Despicable bad guy that turns out to be an honorable hero. Deus ex machina that turns a sh*tty situation completely around just a couple of minutes before the very end. And more travesti roles than I've seen anywhere else. What's not to like?

An excellent album by Aimee Mann:
