paul secor Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yep. The only place of its kind in my area. I was there a couple of times - probably 20 years ago was the last. A friend who lives in Ct. tells me that it's not what it used to be. Then, none of us are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duaneiac Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) I was at Half Price Books yesterday and picked up a few things. The best buy was this It had been marked down a couple of times and I thought the price was $7.99 for this 4 CD Proper boxed set. When I looked at the receipt when I got home, the cashier had charged me $1.99! I looked at the price tag again and it could be read either way.

soulpope Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Last night, a DL from Amazon Lully - L'orchestre du Roi Soleil - Jordi Savall - Alia Vox Anyone got sleeve notes in English for this one? MG Can contribute just an excerpt : The works recorded here are a faithful reflection of the way in which history and art came together. The music was written to be performed by the full range of instruments, in terms of number, quality and diversity, available at the time. Lully had an incredibly rich sound palette to work with: as many strings as he could wish for, virtuoso flautists, the full range of oboes, all manner of percussion instruments, the brass section, keyboard instruments, lutes, theorboes and guitars. Although indications on the scores are rare, the occasional manuscript bearing the inscription "M. Lully joue" (Monsieur Lully performs) provides indirect evidence concerning the diversity of instruments used, indicating that the piece is for solo violin with florid ornamentation, or for guitar ensemble. Stage music of this kind required variety, not only in terms of the instruments used, but also in terms of the tempo, rhythm and means of expression. Diversity, within a context of continuity and development, was also a hallmark of the works themselves. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme was the apotheosis of comédie-ballet, and (together with Psyché) marked the high point of Lully's collaboration with Molière. In this work, the music is not confined to M. Jourdain's eternal minuet. It has an infinitely rich score, as regards both the comedy itself and the Turkish Ceremony (Cérémonie Turque) and the Dance of the Nations (Ballet des Nations). The Spanish or, in the parlance of the age, Gypsy) Airs (Les Airs pour les espagnols) demand a colourful and brilliant execution, as do the Entrée and the Chaconne des Scaramouches. Royal Divertissement (Divertissement royal) gave another facet to art at court: great festive music of the kind that King Louis XIV, at the height of his youth, constantly commanded to be composed. Out of such festivities was Versailles born, and indeed it is the sumptuous, heroic and elegant reflection of Versailles in its early days, before 1680, that we find in this music. The instrumental music in Alceste illustrates how opéra à la française took shape. Choreography, which resulted from the fusion of ballet and tragedy, played a key role in the work, developing the full potential of court ballet: pure dance music (minuet, marches, air des démons), vast choreographic scenes (Rondeau pour la Gloire, Fête infernale), descriptive music for pantomime and dance (Les Vents) and grand, lyrically evocative funeral music (Pompe funèbre).

paul secor Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I volunteer at our local library and occasionally there are boxes of LPs included in the book sales. I'd given up looking through them because I'd never found anything that I had any interest in. Last Friday, I was there and, for some reason, decided to give the LPs a quick look. I came across a copy of Ives' Concord Sonata, performed by Aloys Kontarsky on the Time label. It appeared to be in very good condition, so I took it home for 50 cents. The LP turned out to be in mint condition. The paper sleeve inside the jacket has pictures of various Time releases, many of which are percussion extravaganzas, the sort of thing that some people bought in the late 50s - early 60s to show off their stereo rigs. There were a number of these in the boxes at the library sale. I figure that someone was into those percussion records, bought the Ives because it was on the Time label, played it maybe once and found out that it wasn't a percussion demonstration record, and set it aside. Anyway, I was happy to find it, and it turns out to be a performance that, at least on first listen, I enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Caught a little bit of Record Store Day madness at a local record shop. Picked up: Sun Ra, "Outer Spaceways Incorporated." On "psychedelic" color vinyl. Also: Deerhoof and Marc Ribot. 7" split. And: Charles Lloyd, "Live at Slugs." On "opaque orange-colored vinyl." I was doubtful about this one but figured, what the heck.
