The music is great but, being Venus Records, the mastering is a bit "loud". I believe that the album is also being released on vinyl and SACD.

I don't think the man made a bad album. Live at The Loa and Soular Energy are particular favorites.

The lyrics and the monologues are a bit ham-fisted (the music is certainly the more sophisticated part of this show), but still it tells a difficult message that bears repeating, and wraps it up in an appealing musical/dramatic package. Thanks for mentioning. I have to say that the cover art freaks me out though...

kumakuma Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 2 hours ago, Priaptor said: I have to say, some of the songs on this album are some of his best work in a long time and recorded as well or almost as well as (the song) The Ghost of Tom Joad while other selections leave me in wondering, WTF. However, overall, even accounting for the tracks I find a little too much for my likes, really good. I like this album but not quite as much as Western Stars, especially the film version.

It is a needle drop from a pristine copy of the original vinyl release I believe. Very little surface noise. HDTT also offers a version from a commercial tape, I haven’t heard that one but they also offer Jamal’s live at the Blackhawk of similar vintage which sounds fantastic with excellent dynamics. I think both sessions are on this OOP Mosaic set as well as so much more graham, The Computer Audiophile and AudioDoctor 2 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment

A friend has recorded a couple albums with Houston as the bassist and says how amazing he is to work with. The Hightone recordings usually sound great too. He should try Ron Carter next time. I've heard he's even better on that instrument than Houston. 🤣 AnotherSpin 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment

Mozart's famous pieces arranged by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Absolutely wonderful! Do you have any other recordings like this that you recommend?

kumakuma Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 9 hours ago, AnotherSpin said: Fumiko Shiraga has recorded several fine albums with chamber arrangements of works by Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin. Johann Nepomuk Hummel made quite a few arrangements in his time, he was commissioned for this purpose by publishing houses. Before the advent of gramophone recording, this was very practical - large scale works became suitable for home performance and listening. Listening to the Chopin right now. It's such a shame that she died so young (49). Thanks again for mentioning her.
