  1. Now listening to Simpson's Fifth Symphony:
  2. Just ordered these classical CDs from a favorite discogs reseller: Franz Schubert: Lieder - The Hyperion Schubert Edition 15 / Margaret Price, Graham Johnson (Hyperion) Johannes Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem; Alto Rhapsody / Bruno Walter, NYPO, Columbia SO, et al (Sony) Arnold Bax: Sym. No. 6; Festival Ovt. / Bryden Thomson, LPO (Chandos) Robert Simpson: Syms. Nos. 2 & 4 / Vernon Handley, Bournemouth SO (Hyperion) Vagn Holmboe: Symphonies Nos. 1, 3, 10 / O.A.Hughes, Aarhus SO (BIS)
  3. Bobo Stenson Trio - Serenity (ECM, 2000) with Anders Jormin and Jon Christensen Disc 1
  4. Now listening to LvB's Fourth Piano Cto as performed by Fleisher, Szell & the Cleveland O:
  5. Unlike my LPs from back in the day, which I kept, I finally gave away my cassettes when my stero system cassette player died. By then, only 25 or so were left because my car player kept eating them. ... So I can't ever see myself going back to cassettes -- but if it works for others, more power to 'em. More evidence that many people still like tangible things when it comes to music. For that subset of listeners (which includes me), streaming and/or downloads just don't make the grade (except for "previews" and such).
  6. Now spinning an LP that just arrived in the mail: Ismael Rivera con Kako y Su Orquesta - Lo Ultimo en La Avenida (Tico, 1971) Craft 180-gram reissue Pre-ordered from Dusty, so it's hot off the press.
  7. Buster WIlliams - Pinnacle (Muse, 1975) One of Buster's best. Gorgeous.
  8. Now: Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5 / Handley, Royal Liverpool PO (CfP) Terrific performance
  9. David "Fathead" Newman - House of David (Atlantic, 1967) as heard on this 32 Jazz set:
  10. Absolutely. On to another terrific Bruno Walter recording ... MAHLER: Sym. No. 2 "Resurrection" ... as heard in this set:
  11. Now listening to Prokofiev's 7th Symphony, as heard in this set: Earlier today, I was listening to the Kubelik/BRSO recordings of these same pieces.
  12. Looks to be interesting.
  13. More BRAHMS: Disc 1 - Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op.15
  14. I think the Liszt PCs by Béroff and Masur are outstanding -- but I've never heard these Prokofiev recordings. What do you think of them, Chuck?
  15. Now listening to Alexeev's masterful readings of Brahms's solo piano works: Disc 1: - Klavierstücke, Op.76 - Fantasien, Op. 116 - Intermezzi, Op. 117 My go-to disc for Strauss' Don Quixote. Wonderful.
  16. Wes Montgomery - Boss Guitar (Riverside, 1963) with Mel Rhyne and Jimmy Cobb
