Album of the Evening

[SuperVesnak]

Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood: With Animals

 

 

 

[Melvin]

Looking forward to the season 8 premier this evening ..

 

 

Via Qobuz.

Self released album by The Collegeville Consort.  This was one of the local albums I had hoped to track down at some point!  Now if only I could uncover the remaining Schubert Club releases.    

 

The internationally famous architecture of St John's Abbey church in Collegeville, MN is worth noting for those who participated in the thread on concert hall architecture.  This album was not recorded in the church but the on the St. John's university campus in the Gertken Organ Studio.

Could not trust anything published grass roots. Do they use proper microphones?

Those responsible for the recording and mastering have gold records hanging in their office.  I see no direct notification of the exact models, arrangement, mixing equipment, etc. noted.  The performance space is used quite regularly and was designed to account for the acoustics of the organ, choir, orchestra, and audience's needs.  

 

Since I'm already here...  This might be one of the best album covers I have ever seen and is a masterfully effected fine-art multiple exposure.  In celebration of the first black man to finish the Paris-Roubaix bicycle race that took place earlier today.

Do not be childish. Everybody knows, only respectable recording houses, such as Melodiya or Deutsche Grammophon make good audio recordings.

[sphinxsix]

From time to time some album reminds me vividly how beautiful this hobby is..

(and why I'm not that much into sports )

If you would be so kind, please author a post promoting a more authentic and notably better sounding recording of these works. 

 

Preferably from your first childhood and with all work done by a member of the respectable houses.  How scarce your coin has grown here.  What a welcome change that would produce. 

 

 

¢¢¢¢¢   Without sense for the rarely appreciated one relies on objects shouting their worth. Or I suppose people of similar behavior.

Last opportunity to listen to a Passion this week, so another one on the playlist, acquired in 24/88 from Hyperion following Gramophone’s recommendation.

Notre dame in Paris is on fire now, partly collapsed already. I wonder about the damage to the famous Cavaille-Coll organ. Here is a recent recording from 2019. The toccata and fuge in d minor is really great.

I came back to let @AnotherSpin partially off the hook.  I laughed off his nonsense, but I've been the predominant target of too many complaints not to address him.  One fire apparently consumed a much smaller one.

So uh, this is awkward...

Funny. Or not. Could not understand.

Worked yesterday.  

 

Grandiloquent organ playing steeped in religion this is not. Instead, rather fascinating transcriptions of Rumanian folk melodies that was recorded live in multiple churches across Europe.

 

[WAM]

This album is becoming something of a favorite..

Gorgeous tribal music. It's a pity this one person project went into hiatus years ago.

My less than somber reaction to Notre Dame's roof burning was the correct one. At best there were a few "Scattered Sparks of Sound" distributed in the blaze. Organ, Rose Windows, everything of irreplaceable value survived. Almost as if the hand of God took measures against French construction regulations to assure the safety of all who enter for centuries yet to pass.

 

Lest Notre Dame de Paris be thought the only Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.  Or even the only one with an organ worth listening to.

To early to assume. I am afraid heat would have caused some damage. Let's hope for the best.
