Sneakeater Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Robbie Fulks: Revenge Various: Salsa: Un Homenaje a El Gran Combo Grouper: A I A Hauschka: A Different Forest Ruth Copeland: Self Portrait (you'd think P Funk backing up a White folkie would at least be interesting) Judy Kuhn: All This Happiness (just so you all know, this is very very good) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Various: C90 (Disc 2) Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 28, 35 "Haffner" & 36 "Linz" (Brüggen/Orchestra of the 18th Century) (was Franz Brüggen my ATF "classical" musician of my lifetime? maybe) Toch: String Quartets Nos. 11 & 13 (Buchberger Quartet) (I really like these quartets) Purcell feat. Finger: Devotional Songs & Anthems (La Rêveuse) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 29, 31 "Paris" & 33 (Brüggen/Orchestra of the 18th Century) Galuppi: Complete Concertos for Strings (Ensemble StileModerno) (I dare you not to enjoy this) Gayla Bisengalieva: Aralkum Stan Getz Quintets: The Clef & Norgran Studio Albums (in theory I think this is lame thin White-boy derivation) (in practice I could listen to it all day and all night) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted Monday at 04:32 AM Share Posted Monday at 04:32 AM Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 34 & 40/Notturno for Four Orchestras (Brüggen/Orchestra of the 18th Century) William Parker feat. Kyoko Kitamura & Ensemble: The Music of William Parker: Migration of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World Vol. 4: Cheops Beethoven: String Quartets Nos. 1 & 9 "Rasumovsky No. 3"/Violin Sonata No. 3 (Adolf Busch/Rudolf Serkin//Busch Quartet) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted Tuesday at 05:16 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:16 AM Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 38 "Prague" & 39/La Clemenza di Tito Overture/Le Nozze di Figaro Overture (Brüggen/Orchestra of the 18th Century) Bach: Concerto for Recorder & Harpsichord/Trio Sonata in G Minor/Triple Concerto/Sonata Concerto (Brüggen et al.) Beethoven: String Quartets Nos. 95 "Serioso" & 130/Große Fuge (Busch Quartet) (from a programming standpoint, it's a shame that this box set of the chamber recordings of Adolf Busch and the Busch Quartet start right out with Beethoven, since as far as I'm concerned their late Beethoven quartets are, along with the Louis Armstrong Hot Fives and Sevens, the greatest recordings of anything ever made by anyone; it would have been better to build up to them) (yeah it's dispiriting that recordings made in 1920s [how weird that you can't just say "the '20s" anymore] and '30s are still the best ever) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted Wednesday at 04:41 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:41 AM Loellet/Sammartini/Handel/Naudot/Telemann: Recorder Sonatas and Concertos (Brüggen et al.) William Parker feat. Fay Victor/Hamid Drake: The Music of Wiliam Parker: Migration of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World Vol. 5: Harlem Speaks (oh my fucking God) Naeem: Startisha (I'm Old, but get Swamp Dogg to guest on your album, and I'll probably buy it) Mistresses: Mistresses Louis Armstrong: The Nightclubs Jim Ford: The Sounds of Our Time (he may be Nick Lowe's favorite recording artist, but he doesn't eclipse Lowe on my list) (like, maybe if he knew how to sing) (also, this compilation omits his version of his great song "Juju Man" -- if he ever recorded one -- but I still know to a moral certainty that it wouldn't be as good as Brinsley Schwartz's or Dave Edmunds's) Mukdad/Rothenberg/Lankow: In the Wake of Memories (GREAT) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted Wednesday at 03:21 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:21 PM I wish volume 5 of the Parker was available separately. I managed not to know about Jim Ford, despite seeing many incarnations of Lowe, Edmunds and Rockpile. I was too young to see Brinsley Schwartz live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted Thursday at 05:13 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:13 AM Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 40 & 41 "Jupiter" (Brüggen/Orchestra of the 18th Century) Miles Davis feat. Marcus Miller: Siesta (I guess the idea of this was to make a '90s Sketches of Spain. But I think Sketches of Spain was pretty sketchy itself. And the '90s weren't the '60s, not by a long shot.) Beethoven: String Quartets Nos. 8 "Rasumovsky No. 2" & 16 (Végh Quartet) (1950s recordings) (the transfers on my copies are earbleedingly annoying) Merullo: Toccate d'Intavoatura d'Organo (Tasini) (there is more good music out there than is dreamt of in your [or my] philosophy) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted Thursday at 12:31 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:31 PM @Sneakeater - so how do you decide what you are going to listen to on any given day? Is it mostly that you listen to new stuff you've purchased or received? (By the way, we love robbie fulks - and if you've never seen him live, it's a fun show!)

Sneakeater Posted Thursday at 10:56 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:56 PM The hard decision is the first thing to put on during coffee. After that, it's what catches my eye in a play pile after I think of a rough genre I'd like to listen to next. (My play piles are arranged roughly generically.)

Sneakeater Posted Thursday at 10:58 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:58 PM That's all complicated, however, by downloads -- which I haven't yet figured out how to integrate easily into that habitual process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jean Carla Rodea & Ensemble: The Music of William Parker: Migration of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World Vol. 6: Mexico The Wailers: One Love at Studio One (if you want to hear Bunny Livingston sing "Like a Rolling Stone" [with exquisite backing vocals, natch] in 1966, here's where you need to go) (and if you don't want to hear Bunny Livingston sing "Like a Rolling Stone" [with exquisite backing vocals, natch] in 1966, WHY NOT?) Tigran Mansurian: Double Concerto/Romance/Quasi Parlando/Concerto No. 2 "Four Serious Songs" (Kopatchinskaja/Lechner//Thompson/Amsterdam Sinfonietta) Lassus: Missa pro Defunctus/Prophetae Sibyllarium (Hilliard Ensemble) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
