Album of the Evening

[biosailor]

Metheny-like, but MUCH better!

Sorry, forgot to include the artists in my previous mail:

 

THE IMPOSSIBLE GENTLEMEN: 'Let's Get Deluxe'

[Guidof]

 

Beethoven: String Quartets, op. 18 Nos. 3 & 10. Energetic and nuanced playing by the Quartetto di Cremona.

 

Admirably, the recorded sound is clear and detailed; less admirably, it is also a bit harsh -- both attributes perhaps pointing to very close miking. A 24/96 Qobuz download.

Indeed we have! I could immediately tell that this is a great album just by listening to a couple of seconds of the first three tracks. I have saved it to enjoy later.Thanks a lot! ?

Great album from a great guitarist!

Another gorgeous Dausgaard/Swedish Camber Orchestra from BIS:

The beauty of Qobuz is I can go on a meandering Dausgaard journey! Ending the evening with the lovely Siegfried Idyll from this album.

 

[Melvin]

Impressive album (2007) from the trumpeter:

 

[rando]

The SQ and performance of the Mozart disc at top of this page convinced me to revisit Membran SACD.   At this point in time examining yet another version of Symphony 6 is akin to thinking you can tell how well a plow works by the impression it leaves in an equally well tilled field.

It's never too early for Christmas music!  haHaHA!!

 

Barbara Hendricks

Shout for Joy - Spiritual Christmas

Excellent recording and performance. 24/96 on Qobuz.

Noël sacrebleu!  I posted a Christmas hand bell album last Summer knowing there was no way I could stomach it come December.  

[DeathFugue]

If you like baroque music, this 9.5 hour recording is an incredible bargain at $27 from e-classical! (24bit/96k FLAC)

I am now officially ushering in the 2018 Christmas Season by playing Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You! 

[Hugo9000]

Oh, what the hell, why not play the whole album?  ? ? ?

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Symphony No. 6

Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture

Thomas Dausgaard/Swedish Chamber Orchestra

 

Something a little different:  Tchaikovsky performed by a chamber orchestra!  Beautiful clarity, and refreshing after listening to so many "normal" versions over the years.

 

 

Battle of the Pathetiques tonight. Dausgaard (above) vs. Semyon Bychkov:

 

 

Both are excellent! My slight preference is for Dausgaard for the outstanding BIS recording.

That was my last nite set of listening - all from ECM new releases. All very good, but I like Tord and Trygve. Barre is unique, not for everyone, but as it goes for the single double bass solo it's drawing and captivating - that's big success for such solo album.

I like also Invisible Paths, very well played as the Temporary Kings - you see, hard to choose one ;-)
