That's a good one - Griffin's band during those years was excellent!

Is this a new release? How is it?

DVD cover, but on the spot.

I bought it too, and was surprised - large format, low price.Real nice photos! Thanks for the recommendation!

Without damage to the smaller stereo grooves? I have some Japanese reissues cut with mono grooves, and it works fine with them, but these are marked on the label. Most may sound mono but are cut for stereo cartridges. Notice the mono signb in this Japanse reissue:

R.I.P. He also played with Clarke-Boland for a while, IIRC -one of the last members of that band still alive.

Indeed! I'm so glad I got me a copy after many recommendations here on the forum.

I have both. The AAM is excellent, but even Hogwood became more daring over the years as his knowleadge on historical performance practice increased. The British ensembles were a bit restrained - noble British conservatism - and still are, that is why Hogwood played with L'Arte dell'Arco in his last years. So they kind of are now where Hogwood would have gone had he lived longer. They have the Italian temperament the British always admired over the centuries but simply cannot have. Give them a try.

Excellent, but arguably topped by this newer recording - Hogwood worked with them up to his death.

These bonus tracks are not mentioned in Lord and were not in the Mosaic. But they seem to stick to the original LPs instead of completing the sessions - two more tracks were recorded at that session that were in the Mosaic and on a later fourh Candid CD.

Got this yesterday. Excellent - the new reference in Lious Couperin recordings, great playing, elaborate liner notes. It completes the four volumes of the harpsichord works, and the notes mention in passing that the organ pieces will follow, as well as the few chamber music piecxes and newly attributed vocal compositions! Highly recommended! https://www.aeolus-music.com/Alle-Tontraeger/AE10184-Couperin-Louis-Pavanne-de-Mr-Couperin The label sells a bundle of all four volumes at reduced price, for those who don't have any of them: https://www.aeolus-music.com/Alle-Tontraeger/Bundles/AE80013-Louis-Couperin-Complete-works-for-harpsichord Revisiting the previous volumes. too:

Didn't know about that one! Thanks!

Not in my living room. That's the surface texture of the hardwood from which they make the housing. The plastic of the cheaper cartridges has a smoother surface. But the hardwood resonates less.

Lack of space?

Friday in the car:

Played a whole bunch today, the first two are new buys these year. Ella's disc is a nice surprise, she's mot one of my favourites, but I really enjoy her album. The Irvin Mayfiled is tops!

I have exactly that mono cartridge mounted on my second headshell of my Thorens turntable, and I'm very stisfied with the sound it creates. Much less noise compared to the same LP played back with a stereo cartridge. The difference in weight of both is the only inconvenience about changing the headshells. But I just got then idea of getting a precision scale and attaching some weight to the lighter headshell. That would make it a lot easier.

Spinning these right now! They alone are worth the buy! Besides the Basie sides, my favourites are the Teddy Wilson big band tracks. The Glen Miller band swings much harder than in the studio.

This was delivered this morning, Discs 1 through 4 so far. I do not regret the investment ....

I love the first track on this album! Harvey Mason delivers such a great groove.
