Album of the Evening

[rando]

Nowhere near the renown and international reputation of St Olaf's choir.  Quite fine all the same.

Heathen/pagan folk music, terrific show:

Picked this up from Chandos on a 50% hourly discount. The next day I picked up Vol 4. The hourly discounts are worth exploring.

The playing is superb and the Fazioli grand is captured well.

Terrific album by Mr. Farmer released in 1958. BTW, The Penguin Guide to Jazz includes this album in its Core Collection List.

“She is an accomplished violinist who spent spare time while training in Colorado Springs memorizing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major, all 35 pages of it."

An interesting guitar man, and an even more interesting album: recorded when Lenny Breau was only 20 years old and the record was forgotten for more than 40 years! Great music!

Just stumbled on this in Qobuz new releases. It's a very interesting and ambitious project by Jordi Savall et al.

 

 

I'm still working through it and really enjoying it, although the narration isn't particularly pleasing.

The book is a nice read:

Do you see this one in Qobuz? I can only find it in Tidal.

But this is on the UK site. I'm not seeing it on the US site.

 

Since this is a new release, I wonder what is keeping them from adding it to the US site simultaneously, especially since Tidal US has it, suggesting no issue with the label.

@David Craff Any idea when this will come to Qobuz USA?

Listening to the magnificent contralto and brilliant conductor Nathalie Stutzmann:

Quella Fiamma | Arie Antiche

Orfeo 55

 

 

This wonderful album is on Qobuz (and probably all other streaming services) for those unfortunate people (   ) who don't own every CD she has released:

Was browsing today, and found a copy of Emerson Lake & Palmer's _Love Beach_.  I realized I had never done a needle drop of the album, and when I looked it up, the only version on Qobuz was a remastered version.

 

I barely remembered this album, though I did remember the cover made 'em look like Bee Gees, and it was made in Nassau.  Emerson did most of the mastering, if memory serves me correctly. My album does not have a producer listed, but the info on QuBoz and Wiki says Emerson was the producer. It shows... 

 

I might should have just moved on. Turns out this was a "forced" album, and made only under pressure and threats from Ertegun, who also demanded the album be "commercial."  The first side of the record is a vast wasteland, save for the last track, _Canario_, which is somewhat interesting.  The second side is all Emerson, and a bit better, but you know - the guy must have been burning out about this time. Drugs, too much popularity, British Tax Law, who knows?  

 

It was a bit of fun for the memories, but otherwise, not so much. Perhaps the remastered copy on Qobuz would be more worth the time, but I just don't know.  Caveat Emptor!
