What are you streaming tonight?
As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares.
We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media.
I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations.
I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.

Well, was streaming a sampling of the new Cleveland Orchestra upcoming release on Tidal (to be released as a CD box set in June), ‘A New Century’, on their very own new self-label. Very very nice. Found I could purchase the whole set via Apple, so I did. Then converted it to wav files to put on my server. This set is really well recorded, and an interesting mix. Beautiful. Top notch stuff from my home town orchestra, and highly recommended. |
Streaming a live performance by the Berlin Philharmonic via The Digital Concert Hall (have a subscription). Due to the virus, they have been performing smaller chamber pieces. Today, “A tribute to Daniel Stabrawa”, one of the violinists and concert masters. Program: Panufnik Concerto for Violin and String Quartet (live) Dvorak Terzetto for Two Violins and Viola (live) Sibelius Symphony #4, Simon Rattle Conductor (taped from earlier) |
@big_greg @bkeske Interesting observations. That wasn't the reason why I qualified my recommendation with "if you liked her first album". I do love her voice and her phrasing. I missed your original post, and surely wasn’t criticizing your reference to her earlier albums. I think about how Margo is recorded with The Cowboy Junkies, also a wonderful voice, but even on the simplest accompanying music with the Junkies, there was a nice depth and overall sense of realism and soundstage. Something I wish Norah would try. |
Berlin Philharmonic - Live via Digital Concert Hall. Kirill Patrenko conducting ‘Serenades’ - Mozart Serenades for Winds & Dvorak Serenades for Strings. Cant wait for the full orchestra and hall to be filled again, but thanks to the Berlin Philharmonic for providing live music during this pandemic period. |
@uberwaltz I was finishing up listening to some CD’s when I saw your post. So, fired up Tidal to check out Norah’s newest. I have her first three albums, and as much as I love her luscious voice, her albums always left me a bit unfulfilled. It seems her voice is very well represented right smack into the center image, but a bit too much forward, lacking any 3D soundstage, or a feeling of being recorded within a room. Everything seems ‘stuck in the middle’ with not much going on. Somewhat artificial, to me. So, I thought ‘heck’, lemme see if her newest recordings is improved in that regard. But to me, nope, more of the same. My initial reaction, and definitely not something I would purchase beyond streaming. |
