Album of the Evening

[Michaelb4]

Finally with the Granchildren after 15 months-age 5 and 7. Happy and utterly exhausted. Going to sleep soon. Really good music for a really good place.

Tonights pick.

Followed it with Lana Del Rey's new album, Chemtrails Over The Country Club. If you look closely at the cover you'll see one of the women is wearing a very creepy mask. Also, her voice is different in this one, not by much, and I quite can't put my finger on how, but it's there.

Absolutely wonderful!

 

Do you have any other recordings like this that you recommend?

 

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.

Schoenberg made some great chamber transcriptions of Mahler. Here are some examples on Naxos.

Listening to the Chopin right now. It's such a shame that she died so young (49).

 

Thanks again for mentioning her.

It might take me a while to warm up to it as much as NFR, for example, which is fantastic.

It's been a while since I last listened to Lavay.

 

 

[AudioDoctor]

I followed Lavay with Thelonious.

It's the appropriate season to play the "Spring" sonata.

 

24/44 from Qobuz. Truly excellent.

Fantastic album (and recording quality)

Picked up the 16/44 FLAC from Bandcamp. A great example of the performance trumping fidelity. This RFTT, February-July 1975,  is essential for any and every Pere Ubu fan.
