Benny Goodman Sextet - On Stage

 

 

 

[WAM]

Bandcamp thinks I should listen to this one. Bandcamp is right, it's a beautiful album.

Ran the whole album at immersive, room pulverizin' levels - as a test. No problems ... was bought by Bev, way back from seeing them live, when busking - best she's ever heard it, .

My album for the late night after putting the kids to bed!!

After 42 years (the analogue is still in the garage!) I've got a new reference version of one of the worst produced and at the same time important albums in history. Still fun to listen to! 😎 

(24-88)

 

[sphinxsix]

A great example of my typical music day 😎.

First Dead Kennedys remix, next Maria Joao Pires concert (great Debussy, why has she never recorded his solo piano stuff.?!) and now I'm going to play some hip hop (?) poetry (?) electro (?).. dunno.. What I know is that for me it's a brilliant album! Their name is Kae Tempest (24-96).

Do you want to know how Mozart was played in Vienna? No sweat.

Chris, did you like it? Of course, Björk is not the first choice for family listening with young children and elderly grandparents in the afternoon on the radio. Still, I wonder what type of fun others find in her current work.

I like it. It's really different, but that's part of what makes it good. 

 

P.S. My daughter is studying fungi right now in 5th grade, so we listened to this NPR bit, then played the album on the way to school this morning :~)

I have a friend who is really into Mark Knopfler and has shared with me a vinyl rip he did of this album.

Cold and rainy fall day. Music to drink Scotch.

One of the reasons I moved to this little place is because it has a concert series. It's held in the largest venue in town, which might hold a couple of hundred folks. They even set up folding chairs on stage, which is where I like to sit.  So about 3 years ago I found myself sitting about 15 feet from Haochen Zhang, a Van Cliburn Gold Medalist, as he played the piano.

 

Now BIS has him playing the 5 Beethoven piano concertos, and at a screaming discount, so of course I had to have it. The Philadelphia Orchestra here is wonderful. What about Zhang? He's so incredibly gifted that a lot of this sounds easy for him. Technically it's a tour de force; I'd personally prefer a touch more expressiveness. But still, worth checking out.

 

One more note: I screwed up and bought the lower resolution when I meant to buy the higher one (which is currently the same price as the Redbook at eclassical.com). With remarkable promptness customer service at eclassical corrected my error for me, while being apologetic for my trouble at my screwup. Customer service does not get any better.

This rendition considered to be the reference. I still need to comprehend why.

[muski]

Full album released today. Thematically a little different from his other albums. And every piece is recorded twice—once on a grand and once on a close-mic'ed felted upright. Seems odd at first, but actually really interesting and enjoyable.
