In a recent poll on tinkering Chris is always doing to maintain order.  I mentioned a best and worst case scenario for ownership of specific threads.  This and "Song Of The Day" being the ones in mind as a best case, upkeep instead of moderation, not requiring first post structure charts or other in depth summations of points presented.  Basically the ability to remove double posts and reconnect links as called for.   

 

From a technical perspective the only improvement I can see benefiting those of us who post in here is a back end photo analysis software solution linking previous examples of an album being posted.  Not only does that seem pretty far down the road, but almost certain to become a novel feature after limited use exploring one's interests.

 

Anyone have thoughts on this most unnecessary attempt to fix what isn't really broken?

Yes!!! And it really sounds great in the new remastering. (I have the 96/24 download.)

Actually Hendrix 'AYE' was my album of the afternoon (OT post, I know..).

 

The real album of the evening is:

 

 

Just fantastic! But probably everybody knows that already.

You might enjoy the Steinbacher/Janowski on Pentatone of these same works.  Glad to hear the conductor in your selection is finding success in his well deserved new post.

I have these two symphonies on Chandos and like them very much. However I really never met a Russian composer that I did not like!

[biosailor]

Van Morrison during his late career teaming up with jazz organist DeFrancesco. The best track is the opener 'Miss Otis Regrets' (Cole Porter)!

Mozart: Piano Concertos No. 18 & No. 19. Mitsuko Uchida and the Cleveland Orchestra.

 

For both performance and recorded sound, I prefer her earlier piano concertos cycle with Jeffrey Tate and the English Chamber Orchestra:

 

 

Streaming from Qobuz.

New to me artist but this is excellent.  Think Elvis Costello for his sound and composition.  New today from Nonesuch.

A rare foray into something other than classical or Mariah Carey or Patti Page lol:

 

Chris Isaak

First Comes the Night Deluxe Edition

 

 

This man has to be the most consistent artist in pop/rock history.  For me, every album is a winner, for a bit over three decades now!
