Two Bach cantatas on different discs - No. 60 and No. 82.

I've been waiting to hear the chorale from number 60 for nearly 30 years, from when I first became besotted with the Berg Violin Concerto. The theme from the chorale is quoted most poignantly. But I've never located a version of the Bach until now.

Well, that's Spotify for you! Thanks for introducing it to the board. Now playing: Oliver Nelson, Fantabulous

Just realised I have Fantabulous in the Mosaic box, so have cut it and moved to Sonny Stitt, New York Jazz. Far too much on Spotify to listen to stuff that's already in my collection! I guess I'm using it to expand my knowledge of the music! :rolleyes:

three hours in the uk and i got spotify working... detailed comparison with deezer will follow in the next few days... ;)

Welcome to the UK, Nico! Access to Spotify is one of the few things it's got to recommend it these days! Still, I guess you'll get a good deal for your euros!

love spotify! big advantage compared with deezer is that there is so much of the emi catalogue (also some enjas)... also much better (though still not sufficient) discographical information... but deezer has more universal stuff, jazz in paris, mps, ojcs (much more gene ammons iirc) but luckily for this week i can have both...

having a great time here i hope, already listened to hank mobley's a slice of the top, had some great indian food and took a walk one a spooky looking cemetery at night...

Take care! What city are you in? Thanks for the Spotify/Deezer comparison; I must give Deezer a try sometime. It's just that I'm somewhat overwhelmed by Spotify's abundance of riches at the moment! :blink:

deezer is even easier to use, you don't need any software you just have to register (in addition to what i said, deezer has a lower sound quality and more ecms - played enrico rava's new york days with mark turner and stefano bollani last night - great one!) I'm in Kenilworth... can't really imagine living in so small a place but for the moment it's more than charming...

Been to Kenilworth Castle? I've been taking school trips there since about 1989! I know every stone! Warwick (just up the road) is more complete and imposing but heavily commercialised and very expensive.

If you stick 'Kenilworth March' into Spotify you'll get an extract from Sir Arthur Bliss' 'Kenilworth Suite' for brass band. Says it's by Harry Mortimer but that's the conductor.

Kenilworth! Probably even safe there to walk in cemeteries at night! Thought you were perhaps unwisely in Highgate Cemetery in London! Kenilworth - your visit anything to do with Warwick University?

a conference in warwick indeed, the cemetery is right across the street and not fenced in (strangely, maybe because it is only old graves from before 1920 or so...) it looked pretty safe at least :) joe albany - portrait of an artist

My younger daughter graduated from Warwick University last year.

I must listen to that Joe Albany album. I saw him playing an upright piano in a room over a Manchester pub in the 1970s during a tour organised by Tony Williams of Spotlite records. Joe looked in pretty bad shape and I read in the reference books of his experience of addiction and prison.

Now that I've dealt with the first wave of finds on Spotify, I decided to follow Nico's example and register with Deezer as well. First find: Archie Shepp's Four for Trane, which is neither in my record collection nor on Spotify. If Bev follows suit, he might wish to change the title of this thread again, as I'll be reporting my Deezer listening here, as Nico is already doing. :)
