I had read good reviews before I first listened to it years ago. I enjoy Ry Cooder's music generally particularly his guitar playing. I have also since been listening to a little Indian Classical - Ali Akbar Khan - Indian Architexture which is also excellent. Both are on Water Lily Acoustics with outstanding sound. Link to comment
Popular Post TubeLover Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 An award winning composer and pianist that has become a favorite of mine with his recently released 7 album set. This could cover you for album of the evening for a week! And here is an excellent review of this beautiful sequence of music: https://serious.org.uk/einaudi-seven-days-walking-kate-mossman Guidof and phosphorein 2 Link to comment

Abbado is very good indeed. You should also give Günther Wand a listen (he recorded the Bruckners more than once, his recordings with the Berliner are very good). Link to comment

Popular Post austinpop Posted January 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2020 One of my all-time favorite albums. Hadn't heard it in a few months, after which there have been significant improvements in my system. Wow! Even after over 15 years of ownership, this album still takes my breath away. By far the best interpretation of Mahler's 2nd of all time. IMHO, of course. The Redbook version is here: https://open.qobuz.com/album/0002894743802 and has excellent SQ. If you can get your hands on the DSD version, it's even better. coot and WAM 1 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment
