  3. Thanks for all of the responses. I've been listening to a lot of clips and already have a number of recordings in mind to order. My wallet will be lighter and Joan probably won't be happy to see the mail person delivering more CDs, but I know I'll be happy to have some good listening in store. I hope that other folks, including those who have made recommendations, have gotten as much out of this thread as I have. And I hope that the responses continue.

  5. Chuck may offer his opinion, but I much prefer the sound of the new reissues over the sound on the AEC box. If Chuck hadn't done the reissues, I could have lived with the box. Now I'll probably only listen to the reissues. And you get all the great photos, too! I love those in all the new Nessa reissues! High quality printing of the booklets, too! I guess I'm sold anyway... I'm sure you won't be at all disappointed by the Mitchell and Bowie reissues.

  7. Interesting stuff! Hope they add to it. Thanks for posting this, Michael.
  8. From Jonathan Williams' In The Azure Over the Squalor: Every man is his own equal! - Rick Flair (Mid-Atlantic Professional Wrestling Champion) There are people who take the heart out of you, and there are people who put it back. - Elizabeth David Art is always the replacement of indifference by attention. - Guy Davenport Few people have the imagination for reality. - Goethe Show yourself more human than critical and your pleasure will increase. - Domenico Scarlatti There are too many ditractions. You should enter a ball park as you would enter a church. - William Francis Lee III Trying to sneak a fastball past Henry Aaron was like trying to sneak the sun past a rooster. -Curt Simmons The peculiar grace of a shaker chair is due to the fact that it was made by someone capable of believing that an angel might come and sit on it. - Thomas Merton
  9. Happy Birthday, Mark! Just framed one of your photos of Von Freeman. Took me long enough, but it looks great.
  10. Don't think I've ever heard that one, looks interesting! Good one. Diz plays well and the Double Six fit well with him. Some nice later Bud too.
  11. Is it the performance/interpretation or the concerti themselves you don't like? The performance/interpretation, at least as far as I can tell - haven't heard any other performances. Sounds dry and unemotional to my ears. As I say, I'm fairly new to all of this so, to be fair, perhaps I'm not hearing what's there. Thanks for all of the recommendations in your following post.
  12. I'm slowly making my way into the world of classical music, and have done some exploring of J.S. Bach's music. But there's so much there that I could use some help. I have four recordings of the Cello Suites - Wispelwey, Casals, Starker, and Rostropovich - and plan on picking up at least a couple more in the future - considering Bylsma, Tortelier, and Queyras. So I'm in ok shape there. I also have Hogwood/Academy of Ancient Music: Brandenburgs; Juilliard String Quartet: Art of the Fugue; Jeno Jando: Well Tempered Clavier; Pinnock/English Concert: Harpsichord Concertos - all of which I enjoy. And Andrew Manze/Richard Egarr/Jaap ter Linden: Violin Concertos - which so far hasn't done much for me. Anyway, what I'm looking for is Bach recordings that Organissimo members love - that could be different recordings of the works I already have or recordings of works that I don't have. The recommendations I'm looking for are recordings that move you and that you love. Hope that this request for recommendations isn't too personal. I hope that others will find something here that they can learn from too. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
