Album of the Evening

[MarkusBarkus]

Not every track has Nancy singing, but it's a solid offering, as is the Cannonball Adderley album.

This new Morcheeba album is great!

This is quite different than Morcheeba, but I ended the night with Lisette Oropesa.

Legendary Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto recording made in May 1941. An entertaining illustration of the difficulties in family relations: Horowitz has not shown proper respect for his glorious father-in-law. He walks by himself, accelerates freely, not caring at all whether the orchestra can keep up with him. Despite, or perhaps because of this apparent conflict, the result is a recording of sheer excitement and stunning power that is unlikely to be matched. Two editions of the same recording to compare. The Naxos version sounds a little more natural than the RCA remaster.

Chandos hi-res for MP3 prices at Presto thru 5/31 (or 31/5 for you Europeans ;)

 

This cycle is terrific in every way (as is his Debussy cycle).  I have Vols 1-3:

Continuing on a Mozart binge. This recent release is delightful! The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin is fast becoming one of my favorite ensembles.

 

 

Haven't heard this one, but love the piece.  Dare I say, every time I hear this I think of the scene in "Amadeus" where Hulce is hiding under the table, and after some scatalogical vulgarities and an affectionate "U-EVOL-I-TUB" to Constanze, his music begins to play without him!

Yes, it's a fine collection of Haydn sonatas, one of the best available.

When I am done with work for the day and my wife goes to get the girls from school, I usually crank up a blues album.

The new Black Keys is great for this purpose as well.

It’s so good, they do a great job of honoring RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough.
