The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra (a sound that is slowly disappearing from the world), and the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra (a sound that has long since disappeared from the world). We won't hear their like again. Ditto for the old Soviet-era Russian orchestras. These groups typified a more colorful, organic style of playing that modern internationalized and standardized conservatory training has just about eradicated. I sorely miss those sounds, and try to collect every decent example of them ever recorded....which has been a huge but enjoyable pastime of mine for decades.
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
I went and purchased two more John Coltrane CD’s, "Blue Train" and "Traneing In", in spite of, relative to other artists, having way too many of his albums already. I do love his music and just now counted having forty-eight of his albums, not even including the ones he recorded with Miles Davis.
Is there anyone else out there at least equally nutty, or has more recordings by any single artist, band or composer? If so, who do you like, and how many of their albums have you collected and play? Miles Davis at thirty-three records and CD’s, comes in a not too distant second in my collection.
Hopefully this topic hasn’t been broached before here.
