mikeymad Posted October 2, 2023 Report Posted October 2, 2023 Vaňhal: Symphonies, Vol. 5 Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice, Michael Halász 2022 https://album.link/i/1608575307 Example: Overall a nice selection of work, very much in the Classical Era, and well recorded and performed. Would recommend. I didn't really know Vanhal's work (or Wanhal, among others). But known and liked by his contemporaries, and I can see why. 3
mikeymad Posted October 2, 2023 Report Posted October 2, 2023 Hello Nasty (Deluxe Edition/Remastered) Beastie Boys 1998 https://album.link/i/721224205 Example: like you don't know it - I was going to pull a deep cut - but this is just too good. "Intergalactic, kill the children, kill the children, intergalactic.." I know it does not say that... Anyway, a really good album. I would almost put it squarely in the acid jazz category. So many great tracks that hit hard, and with dynamics and diversity. Worthy revisit. 6

mikeymad Posted October 5, 2023 Report Posted October 5, 2023 New contemporary female - pianist. Romance – The Piano Music of Clara Schumann Isata Kanneh-Mason 2019 https://album.link/i/1463178540 Example: A lovely set of recordings of Clara's work (her husband was Robert). I really liked the Romances, and the Scherzo (shared) off of this album over the orchestral works. But all well recorded by Decca. I still think Isata is growing and learning, but I have enjoyed her work. 3

jose Posted October 7, 2023 Report Posted October 7, 2023 Looking for Japanese Jazz recordings (one of my fetishes) I found these guys. Regardless of the rather quaint appearance... these guys sound very 70's metal 2

Are you fond of "City Pop"? Lamp, etc.? But I digress. All I know is Casiopea, T-Square/The Square/3rd Square and related, Hiromi, and Nucleus (Alleycat, etc.). Wouldn't mind some recommendations. 1
jose Posted October 9, 2023 Report Posted October 9, 2023 Sorry, I'm doing changes to my toy room and I haven't been able to connect. I have some Casiopea cds but I like more things by Fumio Nanri, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Isao Suzuki, Toru "Tiger" Okoshi... closer to "classical" Jazz, bebop, etc... one of my latest discoveries was Takashi Matsunaga Trio, great pianist IHO. Another interesting thing is that their recordings sound very well make. I have several Japanese editions on XRCD (does anyone remember this?), Mofi, remasters, etc... 2
TMoney Posted October 10, 2023 Report Posted October 10, 2023 Excited to see this guy tomorrow night in SF so I figured I'd get a refresher on the hits. 7

swt61 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Posted October 11, 2023 It's not Cash. It's not Haggard. Not Jones or Waylon or Willie. Although I love all of those guys. My favorite male Country vocalist of all time is Ray Price. IMO his vocal prowess is unsurpassed. So effortless and smooth. Take that vocal ability and put some Kristofferson lyrics in his mouth, throw some strings behind it and you've got pure Country gold. 5
swt61 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Posted October 11, 2023 I finally got the chance to see him live, but by then he was 81 years old. I was worried that my hero would no longer have the chops to perform some of my favorite songs. That however was far from what happened. He absolutely blew me away! He hadn't lost anything! Amazing show! 2
mikeymad Posted October 12, 2023 Report Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Vladimir Horowitz - Horowitz in Moscow Vladimir Horowitz 2010 (Ed - 1986) https://album.link/i/1452506788 Example: A master playing a masters game. At 81 with his return to Moscow, he really did show that he had very few peers. I remember watching this in the 80's on "CBS Sunday Morning" with Charles Kuralt and being mesmerized. I need to play this more. Edited October 12, 2023 by mikeymad 4
robm321 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Love Horowitz. I'll have to check that out. Edited October 12, 2023 by robm321
