Wilfrid Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Dua Lipa, Future Nostalgia Miley Cyrus, Plastic Hearts. This is growing on me, especially the ballads. The singing is so good (apart from a dreadful cover of "Heart of Glass"), that the big booming drums must, I suppose, be tolerated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I've really been liking Future Nostalgia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Taylor Swift: Evermore (marginally less boring than Folklore) (I hope for her next album she trades in Aaron Dessner for A.G. Cook) Son Lux: Tomorrows II Beethoven: Violin Concerto/Symphony No. 4 (Röhn//Furtwängler/Berliner Philharmoniker) Schubert: Piano Sonatas Nos. 1, 2, 5, 7, 9 & 10 (Badura-Skoda) (these are from his second cycle, on period instruments from his collection -- and boy are they good) Handel: Harpsichord Suites Nos. 1-4 (Hantaï) (people doubt the quality of these works, but in first-rate interpretations like these, what's not to like?)
