Bostridge performs Winterreise for decades and wrote a book about his obsession with this cycle. Recent live recording. Great cover, imho.

In a crowded field of recordings of Die Schöpfung (The Creation), this version is growing on me...

Agree, listening right now ( not evening, but alas ) , and enjoying it .

Through all of your long history of rambling excoriating behavior I've witnessed in this thread.  Hard pressed to remember an actual album ever being posted!

I can't find that on youtube.  I'm not affiliated with the record company, by the way!  haha!

 

In case you find it and like it be prepared to pay $20 for a single track from this album. 

And they say these are hard times for record labels.. 

(like I said - think twice before opening this link )

@accwai You could spare us testing our Chinese(?)! Предупреждаю - немного говорю по русски! En een beetje (erg basic) Nederlands..

 

As for the album of the evening - an urge to listen to this today was kind of surprise for me. Having lots of fun looking back at my very first music obsession in life.. (it was ..much more.. than 20 years ago today)..

A selection  24-44.

It's Hong Kong dollars!  Not quite so bad.   Just listening to the brief sample of the first track, lots of breathing and rustling of clothing or other non-musical sounds.  Unless it's deliberate "modern" art haha!

 

I think I'll pass, but thanks so much for finding and sharing that link, I was really curious about the album!

Don't they have imagination at all in Honk Tonk.? Couldn't they find another symbol for their currency.? Does everyone have to imitate the USofA.? I'd have a hundred more questions here  but instead I'll give just one answer - as for the non-musical sounds - maybe it's simply an audiophile recording.. You know, many find exciting the fact that they can hear a conductor's drops of  sweat falling onto the floor on their multi $$$ systems...(usually when you listen closely you will hear it also on a $3k system, but it's another story..)

Listening to an old favorite on the somewhat recently released SACD, which sounds wonderful. What a shame that we lost sucn a prodigious guitar talent so early.

I remember watching this when it aired. Great live recording. I've only seen Natalie live once. She was fantastic. That voice ..

Lazy music for an hot summer evening

 

 

[biosailor]

[Musicophile]

In-flight entertainment of the day:

 

 

24/96 from Qobuz. 

[AnotherSpin]

First recording from Pogorelich in 21th century. Those who's been dismissing Pogo's strictly individual approach easily may be relaxed. This recording will not give them a reason to change their opinions. Very unusual, to say the least. Eloquent recording of very strange and individualistic reading from one of kind maestro.

[ripples]

clearing the mind  with these 2 today

 

 

 

 

[WAM]

Great music for another (too) warm summer evening

 

 

[graham]

Excellent 1989 session.

[AudioDoctor]

Thats just the way you make me feel...

[AudioDoctor]

You can never go wrong with Johnny Cash.
