What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[Mark]

Too bad the cover is such a tarting-up, eh? 

Great music, terrible cover. Better that than the other way about, Karl.

[Kullervo]

I think it's the couple from those lowermybills.com ads.

[karlhenning]

I have to confess to really liking those.

Nor do I remember finding anything to dislike in them . . . .

[Hector]

Chopin's nocturnes, sadly by Barenboim... I wish I had a CD of them with another performer 

My partner lent me Pires which I downloaded to iPod.

I deleted them only last week, knowing that I would never listen to these fitful performances again.

Somebody told me Idel Biret is good but I do not really know and am not really bothered any more.

Le Filleulle des Fees, complete ballet, and easy listening!

Breakfast muffin with orange marmalade, coffee, and

Bach Brandenburg Concertos 1-3 Marriner and the Usual Suspects 

Good morning all....how is the "Shosty" treating you this morning Karl.

[karlhenning]

Splendidly, Bill, most splendidly :-)

  Black Knight try the Arrau set of Chopin's Nocturnes they are my absolute favorite...

[Scriptavolant]

Just went through Satie's Gymnopédies e Gnossiennes (la cinquième sortout).

Now Giacinto Scelsi, Works for clarinet (Tre pezzi, Ko-Lho).

[Mark]

Of course, if you think the reissue cover is bad, check out the originals:

[karlhenning]

Well, you can't go wrong with a rose (unless you're Sir Paul).

The other cover, though . . . .

[Mark]

I'll stick with the reissue, thanks.

[George]

Actually Mark, these were the original (CD) covers (my CDs say 86, 90, 92) The sound is supposed to be more natural. They are on Chesky records.:


 

[karlhenning]

All right, another instance of going wrong with a rose 

[not edward]

Ligeti: Violin Concerto (Tetzlaff/NYPO/Gilbert, radio aircheck).
Great performance of this modern masterpiece. I think Tetzlaff is this work's finest interpreter to date.

[George]

All right, another instance of going wrong with a rose 

Yeah, the third one is certainly tacky, but I rather like the first one.

  marvin

Seconded.

[karlhenning]

Yeah, the third one is certainly tacky, but I rather like the first one.

Ah! The first one was slow to load, and I'd missed it.  Complete agreement, George.

[Bogey]

Fortunate for you Karl....it almost poked out my eye at this end.
