Listenin' to Classical Music and Conversation

Old pic. Allmusic says this is also from '56 - Bach: The Art Of Fugue - Helmut Walcha | Songs, Reviews, Credits | AllMusic

 

I'm not much of a C&W fan but I know what I like. I like Waylon and especially this particular gig.

 

Waylon's autobiography, read by hisownself is a helluva story. 3 parts almost 3 hours.



Hank Jr's Stormy fits my style & his Millennium version of Country Boy Will Survive on the Bochephus box set is perfect.

 

The Chesky CD editions were taken from the original master tapes using a customized Ampex tube tape recorder.

 

True. I have that CD as well. BTW, for some reason, Toccata and Fugue in D minor is also included on this CD, I believe because they thought they could improve upon the transfer on the older Originals CD. They did, in my opinion. It sounds clearer on this.

 

First listen to "Close Encounters In Early Music" on Opus111.

Performances by:
Pierre Hamon
Discantus
The Greek Byzantine Choir
Brigitte Lesne
The Russian Patriarchate Choir
Micrologus
Alla Francesca & Alta
Obsidienne
Modo Antiquo

 

NP, one of the great early Requiem settings by Pierre de la Rue.

 

First listen to CD 2 from "Haydn - The Piano Sonatas" performed by Ekaterina Derzhavina on Profil.

 

In a few years there will be no `Picadillo Cubano` left in the wild...........Save the Picadillo Cubano!

 

CD from the Argo Years box.

 

I know Angela Hewitt doesn't have a lot of fans on this forum, but I just love this recording.

 

Good idea to play it as dinner music - you'll be able to filter it out with the conversation!

 

Did your husband end up deciding on a new cart for this deck?

 

Wolfgang Rihm: Music for Three Strings (1977)



Kalevi Aho: Symphony No. 15
Lahti Symphony Orchestra/Dima Slobodeniouk

 

J. S. Bach: 'Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder' BWV 135

 

(CD Deutsche Grammophon German Press 410 615-2) 1983 .... recorded 1981 @ Sofiensaal Vienna Austria .... Claudio Abbado and the Viennese Philharmonic forces do have a really good dance ....

 

Thanks for asking! Actually yes, he decided to go with the Acoustic Solid 113 turntable, the Jelco 850 Tonearm and the Nagaoka MP500 cartridge.
Something like this (different cartridge than the image).



And it has the sound board like this image (but I this is a different tonearm, possibly an SME? )

 

Hahaha....noooo! Something like this doesn't NOT go in my dish. Only regular, grass fed beef.

 

We did not play it after all....mostly rock music and jazz.

 

On the TT...

 

Decided not to get the Pollini. His version of Debussy's Préludes, Livre II lacks humor, it doesn't "sparkle". Someone described it as a "pokerface performance", and that's exactly what it is. I prefer the Daudet, but that one's currently pretty expensive. Back to Krystian Zimerman or Pierre-Laurent Aimard

 

Yes these are great performances. I have the following Chesky CD's (excellent sound) :

 

I have all the Hyperion Bach recordings by Angela Hewitt from early days when I started building out my JS Bach collection at a feverish pitch ...

 

Below are the only two Chesky classical recordings I have. I really did not care much for the rest ...

 

Anyone here familiar with this box?
