  2. Thanks! I totally forgot about that! I almost fell into Aliki Ashman's cleavage - that was my type back then. No more need to buy a DVD or CD now, me thinks ... 😉
  3. I remember watching it on tv back then. I would consider a DVD, but just the music? I want to see this again! Watching the singers raised a 16 year old's hormone levels.
  4. It was a birthday present from a friend who works at the German publisher of Vasks' works. Definitely worth a listen - partly calm, partly energetic, but never hyperactive, the music takes its time to develop, is never bland. He has a style of his own. The CD, btw, plays a few seconds over 80 minutes!
  5. Sometimes it's just sloppiness when filling out the data sheets accompanying a tape box, especially when it's done after the fact. While researching Cal Tjader, S. Duncan Reid was lucky to find out there was a Tjader fan among Californian journalists who announced upcoming concerts and/or reviewed them. The dates in the Fantasy archives often were a week off. Sometimes dates in the album credits had the wrong days of festival appearances. I'd rather not muse about studio recordings involving overdubs over a lengthy time period. How do you date these?
  6. That one convinces me. Just found a nicely priced copy and ordered it.
  7. It's hard for me to imagine some of your examples without the meoldy they are sung to. So I would say it depends. I know a lot of excellent poetry that could not be sung. In classical music, composers chose the song lyrics according to their potential as songs. But these were not written with that in mind, which may be the main distinction to song/sung lyrics.
  8. I wonder what Erroll thought about this cover .....
  9. The weekend bottle: Château Pech-Céleyran 2022 LA CLAPE, APPELLATION D'ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE
  10. I will find the time to listen only tomorrow - I won't peek.
  11. Where did you get this? Me want! Seeing that Monterey performance on TV was a key moment in my musical lfe! No copies for sale on discogs.

    Agreed. It was so nice to have a series of CDs which heavily featured percussionists.
  13. Pic from a surprise family meeting a week ago. We were invited by a friend who had just moved to Lübeck, and my wife secretly arranged that my daughter showed up to congratulate me for my 70th birthday. My daughter in the center, where she belongs, with the two most important men in her life at her sides, me and her husband to be, her mother on the left and my wife on the right. She is blessed to have two mothers now.
