Prague String Quartet Plays Dvorak - Streichquartett Nr. 10 Es-Dur Op.51 & Streichquartett Nr. 8 E-Dur Op. 80. Deutsche Grammophon. Unsure when this was released, but probably late 70’s. German release.
Sounds great. |
Evgeni Svetlanov conducts Alexander Borodin - In The Steppes Of Central Asia, Symphony #2, & Polovtsky March From "Prince Igor". U.S.S.R. Symphony Orchestra. Melodiya/Angel 1968.

James - Streaming Hillary - Paris now…..i may have a crush, again…. how is the tone color on vinyl?
Jim, it’s wonderful on vinyl. Obviously a digital recording, but IMO, still sounds better on vinyl.
Hilary is incredible. Have most her CD’s.
|
Agreed James. It amazes that some like to criticize her for being too technical. I get that, but then, I don’t either, as I feel real emotion in her playing as well. Her recording of The Lark Ascending is a perfect example.

Leopold Stokowski - Rhapsodies. Works (rhapsodies) by Liszt, Enescu, and Smetana. RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra. RCA Red Seal Living Sereo reissue from the late 60’s. Originally 1961.
|
James That music is most dynamic. Maybe a little more on the Marshall and less on the melodic than my usual want. But man, what sound. How did you like it? RCA is usually plentifully. my copy is on one of those fancy audiophile reissue labels. I liked it, somewhat surprised me. As it went along, it kept drawing me in. Yes, very dynamic. And very deep, with great soundstage separation and detail the way it was recorded. Glad I saw your post about it. |
Karajan conducts Sibelius - Finlandia , Valse Triste , Der Schwan Von Tuonela , Tapiola. Berliner Philharmoniker. Deutsche Grammophon 1967 Germany. |
Just arrived back home from being out town, and this was delivered.
Took me three attempts to buy a copy of this before a seller could actually locate his copy in their inventory. Crazy.
This was a reunion for these three as ‘Poll Winners’. Looking forward to this….thanks Jim for the heads up on this trio, never knew these three had a group together before.

@spiritofradio
Kronos Quartet is challenging for me sometimes but in a way that I feel is good. I streamed that record and I think it’s very good. Thanks.
Interesting James. I think it was my CD’s of Kronos that got me more interested in ‘classical’. I had a chance to see them live at an ‘after hours’ party in a huge unfurnished commercial loft space. I believe they had just performed live in town, and accepted the invite afterwards. Pretty surreal actually, they, performing within this big space as others mingled and gathered around them. I was literally standing in front of them, amazed as I watched and listened.
|
Another Joni arrived today.....I now only need Blue to fill in the only gap up to this one...
Joni Mitchell - Mingus. Asylum 1979
This LP is in incredible shape, as is its cover. So many of these are worn, but not this one. |
The Modern Jazz Quartet - The Modern Jazz Quartet & Orchestra. Remix/Remaster. Atlantic, Unknown date, but believe early to mid 70’s. Originally 1961
|
Mingus Ah Um. Columbia/MOV reissue/remaster/repress 2015
|
The Charles Lloyd Quartet - Love-In. Charles Lloyd, Keith Jarrett, Ron McClure, & Jack DeJohnette. Atlantic 1967. Recorded live at the Fillmore, San Francisco.
|
Richard & Linda Thompson - Pour Down Like Silver. Island 1975
|
Played the ‘silver discs’ most the day yesterday ( gifts and thanks to @tomic601 ), and have been working most this morning....so....need some vinyl right now, and kept thinking about this LP...so putting it on the SOTA...
Neil Young - After The Gold Rush. Reprise reissue 1978, originally 1970.
Nice. |
Ahmad Jamal - Rossiter Road. Atlantic 1986
|
Jerry Garcia - S/T. WB promo 1972, originally released 1971 for the UK only.
Still one of, if not the, favorite Jerry ‘solo’ albums. |
Haven’t played this in probably 30 years. What the heck, let’s give it a spin
David Newman - Heads Up. Atlantic 1987
|
@waltersalas Television -- "Marquee Moon" Man, used to have that album, bought it when it came out, but believe I sold it (along with many others) for some jazz albums or CD’s at the time. Never should have sold that one. |
Grateful Dead - Vintage Dead. Sunflower 1970. Recorded live at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, 1966
|
The Warlocks (pre-Dead). Creative Music. Unknown release, and can’t remember exactly when I bought this. Rear sleeve states ‘MAY 3, 1965
LOS ANGELES’. That was not when this was released, but obviously recorded.
|
The Grateful Dead - S/T. WB 1967
|
@waltersalas
I bet you'd enjoy that Green Pajamas LP as well. I knew nothing about them at all until a friend directed me to their music last summer. I'd call it my find of the year. Now I have five or six of their records and love them all!
Saved to Tidal, will have to check them out. Pretty large catalog
|
@tomic601
Brian - I don’t believe i have ever seen that Vintage Dead LP, i have the 1967…
Jim, if you read into it, it was ultimately an unauthorized release as a deal to release it fell apart. I cannot remember to details off the top of my head. But, I really didn’t know that when I got it originally, and me and my Dead Head buddies used to play it often. Somewhat like a bootleg. It’s actually pretty good all things considered.

Seiji Ozawa conducts Schoenberg - Gurrelieder. Boston Symphony Orchestra & Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Philips 2 LP set 1979, Netherlands pressing.
Really nice recording. Only my second spin for this set. |
@noromance
Lester Flatt And Earl Scruggs And The Foggy Mountain Boys – Hard Travelin’ Columbia 1963)
👍🏼

Continuing with my little Dead marathon…
Anthem Of The Sun. WB 1968
|
@waltersalas
Brian, I'd recommend Phantom Like: Northern Gothic, Poison in the Russian Room, or If You Knew What I Dreamed to get started, and if you like any or all of those, start exploring. They've been around for 35 years or so, so it is indeed a pretty extensive catalog.
Thanks for the info. I'll look forward to checking those out later. 👍

Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa. WB reissue 1973, originally 1969
|
Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead. WB 1970

@boxer12
Brian, +1 for the Dead binge! I’ve never seen the 1st two you’ve listed on this page, before.
It’s been fun actually. I wasn’t aware that Vintage Dead was so unknown. You can find it, and worth picking up for the collection. The Warlocks? Wish I could remember where I picked that up from, but as it turns out, pretty rare today, and actually worth a few coin.

Grateful Dead - S/T “Skull and Roses”. Live 2LP gatefold. WB 1971

OK, a little change, although many of the Dead are playing on this album too…

@mammothguy54
Hope you get it sorted. I hate when that happens, especially when the vinyl ‘looks’ great.
But, you got me to pull mine and give it a spin...
Joni Mitchell - Hejira. Asylum 1976
Oh.....and finally, after considering it for weeks....just put my order in for a Hagerman Trumpet phono pre. Can’t wait to get that baby into the chain. I’m excited. |
