@tomic601 I'm not a huge Span fan, man. I do like their Maddy Prior vocal songs though. The SQ on the compilation is solid. |
Tomaso Albinoni, I Musici – 12 Concerti A Cinque Op. 5 (Philips 1982 Digital)
Super album. SQ is excellent and the vinyl is silent.
|
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Peter Rybar, Vienna Festival Orchestra – Violin Concerto In E-Minor, Op. 64 (Whitehall Records 1962) side 1.

@tomic601 Some day. Imagine jazz clubbing it every weekend? I've never been there. We used brunch every weekend in a diner dive-bar with great local no-name musicians. Miss it.

Judy Bright - This is Judy Bright
(Dot 1964)
Truly lovely voice and left-of-center music. She’s from Chicago and released one album in 1964 at the age of 20. She was fluent in five languages and incorporated the songs of other cultures into her mixed repertoire. Shame she didn’t record more. Tentative recommendation.
