What Classical Music Are You listening to Now? III

[pastoralguy]

You're reminding me of John Peel for some reason...

[pastoralguy]

You mean the nostalgia of the original vinyl - those clicks - you know which they were - my Katchen Emperor jumped a groove just after the wind up to the final movement - pay the declick ransom, it could improve your longer term listening!

Yes. I think I will and will keep both versions to hand.

My mother had a very early Cliff Richard album where the very last groove of side 2 ended with 'Rezzle Dezzle baby', click, 'Rezzle Dezzle, baby', click...and so on until someone took the arm off! I took it to a Hi-Fi demonstration once and heard it on an £80k system where it sounded bloody fantastic but, alas, only did the 'Rezzle Dezzle...' thing once! I was most disappointed.

Mainlining nostalgia- it's 1968 and bossa nova with Astrud Gilberto, Walter Wanderley (whither Walter- wow, some Hammond player). So Nice aka Summer Samba. It comes up fresh as ever.

Just noticed a big old Franck Brilliant Classics box which I think is new .

Released in January this year. I'm not sure I am strongly enough taken with Franck's music to get a box of 23 CDs of it even at less than £2 per disc.

For me, at least, there is a pretty heavy dose of "who?" among the performers listed.

[pastoralguy]

Vivaldi & Boccherini. 'Cello Concertos

Mischa Maisky, violoncello.

The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. DG

[gradus]

Elis Regina, Waters of March with Tom Jobim. It just came up on a Spotify playlist in a Susannah Mccorkadale version and I found it on You tube. How did I miss something so good for so many years.

What a shame, a great idea for a box but those performers don’t inspire confidence.

I want (need?) that touch of quality in Franck performances!
