What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I discovered this cd in a thrift store. I admit I don´t like Whitesnake but I was curious.

Pretty interesting versions of some Purple songs, for example, "Soldier of Fortune" or "Stormbringer".

Well, those are the two best songs from the Coverdale era (those two and Mistreated), I think everyone prefered Machine Head era purp, though I prefer the early Rod Evans era.

I have this weird list of bands I'd like to cover 4 songs of, each.  Deep Purple is one of them.  I would  cover "Rat Bat Blue" -- before Helloween covered them, I thought I was alone in this.

And yes, Soldier of Fortune is one of them, too.

An argentinian pianist who a friend recommended. Pretty good, I must say.

I have that album!  Gelber is good.  My favorite South American pianist was Roberto Szidon, though. Szidon is kinda like Gould, though, in that you either love his interpretations or hate them.

I'll have to check that. For some reason I can't guess, I don't particularly enjoy his playing either.

There is something very funny about much of it.  I can't quite put my finger on it, either, but I flipped sides when I heard that boxed set.  I think that, maybe, he is just one of those players that you had to have heard live, in person, to have really appreciated.
