Sneakeater Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Haydn: Folksong Arrangements: Scottish Songs for William Napier (Lorna Anderson/Jamie MacDonald/Haydn Trio Eisenstadt) (Disc 3) (you could listen to this stuff forever -- and there's so much of it, you probably will) Dvorák: String Quartet No. 8/Echo of Song ("Cypresses") (Stamitz Quartet) (every time I think I don't much like Dvorák I listen to him, and remember that in fact I adore him) Neil Young & Promise of the Real: Paradox Mahan Esfahani: Musique? (music for harpsichord by Takemitsu/Cowell/Kaija Saariaho/Gavin Bryars/Anahita Abbasi/Ferrari) Various: Black Fire: Soul Love Now: The Black Fire Records Story 1975-1993 Nat King Cole: Hittin' the Ramp: The Early Years (1936-1943) (Disc 3) Kapsberger: Che Fai Tù?: Villanelles (The Kapsber'girls) (one of those recordings where everything went right: I couldn't imagine this being better -- or more purely enjoyable) Ruthann Friedman: Windy: A Ruthann Friedman Songbook Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Beach Boys: Smiley Smile (God do I love this album) Poulenc: La Voix Humane (Barbara Hannigan//Salonen/Paris Opera Orchestra) (how can Barbara Hannigan have taken up with some Bond villain when she was so clearly meant to be with me?)
