Conjunto La Realidad "Dolor Y Pena" (Salsa Internacional) 1982 .... an "All-Star Band" on 🔥🔥🔥 .... and Ivan Rivera a prime salsero ....

The Flaming Lips „The Soft Bulletin“ (Warner Bros) 1999 ….

Recorded "live" @ Philharmonie Berlin in May 2001 .... Rafael Kubelik was an early advocate for the music of Gustav Mahler and subsequently Claudio Abbado kept the revival going .... a subtle performance for sure ....

It's about asking horrendous prices .... and creating artificial "collector items" ....

When the "Prague Spring" endet abruptly with Russian troops invading Czechoslovakia, some musicians of the CPO fled overnight only carrying their instruments with them. These people received shelter @ Vienna. Many of them went on to Munich and reunited with Rafael Kubelik .... some labeled the SOBR as "CPO in exile" at that time ... I still remember it well ....

That's a good one ....

Yep ....

Robert Wyatt "Rock Bottom" (Hannibal Records) 1998 ....

Horace Tapscott on his farewell recordings session .... still full of energy .... excellent ....

The 1950's were likely the bleakest years in Czechoslovakia's history .... Stalin urged Communistic parties in Eastern Europe to execute full liquidation of democratic principles .... political trials and judicial murder were the order of the day .... these were dangerous times for individuals and Oistrakh was no exception .... never heard about him championing for Ancerl, but who knows ....
