Sneakeater Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Haydn: Folksong Arrangements: Welsh Songs for George Thomson (Anderson/MacDougal/Haydn Trio Eisenstadt) (Disc 15) (this set goes on and on -- but the entertainment value of this stuff is just through the roof) Bach: Motets (Pichon/Pygmalion) (certainly the liveliest -- and, I must say, my favorite -- renditions of this somewhat intractable material I've ever heard; the first time I've unreservedly liked these pieces) Webern: Chamber Music for Strings (Sepp Grotenhuis/Schoenberg Quartet) Taverner: Missa Corona Spinea/Dum Tranisset Sabbatum I & II (Tallis Scholars) Sly & the Family Stone: Small Talk (I was hoping this would prove to be one of those albums that seemed bitterly disappointing on release, but that in retrospect seem to be pretty good [think Stage Fright]. It isn't [think Cahoots]. This sounds like Sly is lamely imitating the people who had imitated him. For someone who up until this point had been doing Prince-level work, an album this lame is deflating in the extreme.)

Sneakeater Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Wynton Marsalis/Eric Clapton: Play the Blues (this is better than I expected, but there's still no place in my world for either of these guys) Charpentier: Sub Tuum Praesidium/Messe pour les Tréspassés: Symphonie du Kyrie/Messe à Quatre Choeurs/Domine Salvum fac Regem//Cazzati: Salve Caput Sacrosanctum//Cavalli: Sonata a 12/Magnificat//Merula: Credidi Propter Quod//Beretta: Missa Mirabiles Elationes Maris//Giamberti: Simalbo eum Viro Sapienti//Benevoli: Missa Si Deus Pro Nobis: Crucifixus (Daucé/Ensemble Correspondances) (exemplary -- but not just that, also fairly moving and hugely enjoyable) Nicki Minaj: Queen Southam: Returnings II/Returnings/Untitled in G/Untitled in A Flat/Untitled in B Flat (Eve Egoyan) (great stuff!!!!)

Sneakeater Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Musically reactionary. Trying to turn jazz into something as aesthetically dead as mainstream classical. OR: too comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AaronS Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 the later records are pretty different, but they’re closer to post-rock than what I’d think of as experimental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
