Lovely. Like the Willcocks, this cost me 80 cents. Recorded 2/28-3/2, 1997, Mallinckrodt Chapel, Wilmette, IL. Producers: James Ginsburg & Burke Morton. Engineer: Bill Maylone. Microphones: Schoeps MK 21. James Ginsburg, founder of the Cedille label, is the son of The Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Currently listening to my first HDCD, ever.... and it's this: Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra - Wikipedia Also scored some Naxos Bach at the charity shop that has been spun more than once... Wha... what's... happening... to... me...
That is a fantastic Concerto Suite. Maybe a few too many cadenza like parts but it still is a fine composition. An amazing musician.
You must have read my mind.....a few days ago I was about to ask where you have been. I figured you must have gotten busy with the new job IIRC. Good to see you back!
A cadenza is the equivalent of a guitar solo but in classical music concertos. It gives the violin, piano, cello player a chance to show off their stuff. Welcome to the wild and woolly world of classical.
I'm always up for the party atmosphere of a live album, although the guy who keeps yelling for "Whipping Post" got annoying. Recorded in the Chapel of Merton College, Oxford, 12/17-19/96. Producers: Steve C. Smith & Peter Phillips (who is also Director of the Scholars) for their Gimell Records. Engineer: Philip Hobbs. The Producers thank "Sargent Mike Gardner and his staff at Thames Valley Police".
It was probably me yelling for Whipping Post or maybe Free Bird. The Allman Brothers Band Album by Album Thread
Wow you got some snow. None here in the fruit stand capital of Canada for me. Maybe next week. The only pets we have are the Keremeos Quails. Lots of cats give them the eye but never really bother them. Hundreds of them run up and down the block feeding on every front lawn. We put bird seed out for them. Village of Keremeos - Home

Listening to "Classical Kirkby - Orpheus and Corinna" performed by (the lovely and talented) Emma Kirkby and Anthony Rooley on BIS. 17th Century English Songs on Classical Themes
Listening to Mutter’s debut recording with Karajan (sourced from the Originals CD). This is the single most common classical album I find in the used LP bins in my city’s record stores. I must have seen 10 of these in one store only. The most frequent pressing I encounter is the East German pressing on the ETERNA label, licensed from DG, complete with faux DG “yellow cartouche”, albeit without the tulips and the logo.
