Yep. One of her many wonderful recordings.

I really enjoy Perahia's Bach recordings. His approach may be too Romanticized for some listeners. But his playing strikes me as well-balanced between form and expression: a sort of happy medium or golden mean.

Serkin's recordings of Brahms' Piano Concertos with Szell are my "personal standard" for that repertoire.

Classical-wise, I'm still enjoying an exploration of music by FRENCH composers, conductors, and orchestras. Tonight's listening:

Yesterday: Chico Hamilton - The Head Hunters (Solid State, 1969) with Steve Potts (as); Russ Andrews (ts); Ray Nance (vn); Eric Gale (g); Jan Arnet (b) No, not those Head Hunters! Stumbled across this LP recently in a local shop. I had no idea that Steve Potts was with Chico before he began his long association with Steve Lacy. ... And Ray Nance is in there too -- using an electric pick-up, which gives him a very different sound. Good stuff!

Various Artists - Chess Blues (MCA) Disc 3

When I Stop Dreaming: The Best of the Louvin Brothers (Razor & Tie)

I'd like this set: Pieranunzi, Enrico The Complete Remastered Recordings - 6 Cd BXS 1004 $20 PM sent.

Willie Nelson this evening:

Disc 7

Dos by Los Lobos.

More Munch:

Don't apologize for the "hyperbole"! I think it's great when folks are honest about the music that they LOVE.

Strength in Numbers - Telluride Sessions (MCA) Outstanding newgrass session with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer. Willie Nelson - Stardust (Columbia/Sony Legacy) I first heard this music while I was in college, and hearing it again always takes me back to that time.

Mahler: Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" / Scherchen, VSOO, et al (Millennium Classics) Forceful and impassioned. One of Scherchen's great recordings.

Dylan & the Band - The Basement Tapes (Columbia) Original '75 release.
