don't overlook Love And Theft, the follow-up to Time Out of Mind. It
too is a good one. Produced by Jack Frost (aka Bob himself). I agree completely. L&T is brilliant. I see that Rolling Stone listed his new Sinatra album as #49 for 2015. |
Tonight has been a variety of music by
composers during the second half 20th Century. At the moment I'm listening to Chaves' "Toccata for Percussion Instruments" (1942) performed by the Percussion Museum and released on King Record KIJC 9207. Next up on this same LP will be Takemitsu's Rain Tree (1981) for three percussionists. |
Yarlung Records’ Janaki String Trio "Debut" - Oh my goodness, I’ve listened yet another time (must be at least 5 now) to the 45 rpm release from Yarlung Records of the Janaki String Trio performing works by Jason Barabba and Krzysztof Pendercki. I continue to stand in amazement at how good the performances are and how great this recording is. I know this has been out for several years in digital formats which I’ve not heard. But, for this vinylholic, this 45 rpm release goes to my top-of-the-pile of demonstration records for sound quality on vinyl. It’s one of those "they are right in front of you in your listening room" recordings. (Yes, I know I’ve mentioned this LP before, but I just continue to be astounded by it. Thanks for bearing with me yet another time. And thank you to Bob Attiyeh for making this available on LP.) What? You don’t care for 20th Century contemporary composers? Ah well, buy it for the amazing sonic experience, then. If you’re a CD/SACD person, buy one of the digital editions on Native DSD or CD. If you do reel-to-reel, it’s available in that format, too. It’s great music, great performances, great engineering. Just get it. . |
