Elgar, "Enigma Variations" - Monteux/LSO (RCA LSC 2418, Classic Records reissue) - another excellent Kenneth Wilkinson engineered recording for RCA under contract with Decca. One of the great performances of this work. The Classic Records reissue is a bit bright and "hard" sounding, but with excellent resolution and full range sound.
Schubert, "Symphonies 1 and 2" - Bohm/BerlinPO (DGG 2530 216) - very nice performances
Schubert, "Arpeggione Sonata for Cello and Piano" - Rostropovich -vc, Britten -pf (Decca reissue on King SuperAnalogue 9123) - superb performance
. |
The Doors, "Morrison Hotel" - Elektra 7559-60675 German pressing (320 matrix) from a year ago - very nice. ("L.A. Woman" from the same reissue series is also very good, but not on the table tonight)
|
Kenny Drew, "Undercurrent" - Blue Note, ST 84059 -45 (Music Matters 45 rpm reissue) - Mmmmm, Outstanding!
Vaughan Williams, "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" - Marriner/ASMF, Argo ZRG 696 - a superb performance with my preferred performance of "A Lark Ascending"
on the flip side.
. |
Makes three of us then... Had a couple for friends over and one brought the Vaughan Williams on CD not realizing that the system here was set up for vinyl only. I had that same Vaughan Williams in my hands earlier this evening... |
Celtic music tonight so far...
Patrick Ball, "Secret Isles" - Fortuna FOR 029 (Celtic harp)
Battlefield Band, "The Battlefield Band" Topic 12TS313
. |
An evening with some jazz classics...
Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" - Classic Records reissue
Ray Brown "Soular Energy" - Pure Pleasure
Cannonball Adderley "Somethin' Else" - Classic Records mono reissue
. |
A good part of today was spent doing some turntable finetuning in anticipation of making a few additional changes in the system in the next few weeks (rolling some tubes, adding a Velocitor, power cord, and HDLs). So, today's listening was to multiple repeats of Ravel's "Rhapsodie Espagnole" with Reiner/CSO on RCA LSC 2183 ("The Reiner Sound" Classic Records 33 rpm version). (Yes, the 45 rpm version is better, but we used the 33 which sounded pretty phenomenal after a careful cleaning with Prelude.) Final result after 3 hours? No changes, just satisfaction that we already had everything aligned as optimally as we could achieve. Is this anal retentive or what? ;-)
We also spent some time confirming for Ann my earlier conclusion that the Walker Prelude 3-step cleaning process makes a very material improvement over our long term standard cleaning fluid and that the Talisman makes a consistent improvement and is well worth using before each play.
Tannahill Weavers "Tannahill Weavers" - Green Linnett SIF 3101
Dvorak "Cello Concerto" - Dorati/Starker/LSO, Mercury SR 90303 (Speakers Corner reissue)
Rimsky-Korsakov "The Tale of the Tsar Saltan Suite" and other pieces - Ansermet/OSR, Decca SXL 2221 (Speakers Corner reissue)
"The Reiner Sound" Reiner/CSO, RCA LSC 2183 (Classic Records reissue)
. |
Hank Mobley: "Soul Station" - Blue Note 4031-45 (Music Matters 45 rpm reissue) (This series of 45 rpm reissues continues to amaze. If you love jazz, and if you love vinyl, you will regret not getting these while they are available.)
Frank Sinatra: "September of My Years" - Reprise FS-1014 ("smiling Frank" label, no sonic wonder but Frank is still Frank)
Fleetwood Mac: "Fleetwood Mac"
Stevie Nicks: "Bella Donna"
"Musique Judeo-Baroque" Cohen/La Camerata de Boston - Harmonia Mundi HM 1021
James Taylor, "Sweet Baby James" - Warner Bros 274300 (Because Sound Matter reissue - another excellent mastering job by Steve Hoffman.)
. |
We just replaced the input tubes in our amps, so we've been listening this afternoon to a lot of old favorites (forgive me for so many repeats):
Malcolm Arnold "Eight English Dances" with Arnold/LPO on Lyrita SRCS 108
Ravel "Rapsodie Espagnole" and Rachmaninoff "Isle of the Dead" with Reiner/CSO on RCA LSC 2183 (Classic)
Beethoven "Kreutzer Sonata" with Heifitz on LSC 2577 (Cisco)
Shostakovich "Age of Gold Ballet suite" with Martinon/LSO on RCA LSC 2322-45 (Classic)
Holst "Savitri" with I.Holst/J.Baker/ECO on Argo ZNF 6
Holst "Double Concerto for 2 Violins and Orchestra" with I.Holst/ECO on Lyrita SRCS 44
Holst "Planets" with Previn/LSO on EMI ASD 3002
Sibelius "Finlandia" Mackerras/LondonPromsO on RCA LSC 2336-45 (Classic)
.
Conclusion about the new input tubes? Big improvement: greater clarity; lower distortion; far less congestion during orchestral peak volumes when everyone is going for all they're worth. Next, go back and put Extreme SST on the tube pins and allow that to break in, then on to replacing tubes in the phono stage.
Regards to all, |
Music of William Alwyn, twentieth century English composer: Rhapsody for Pf Qt Str Qt 3 Str Trio (1962) > the Quartet of London, on Chandos ABRD 1153 - yes it's a digital recording, but it sounds great "Naiades," Fantasy-Sonata for Flute and Harp Divertimento for solo Flute (1939) Mirages, Song Cycle for Baritone & Piano > on Lyrita SRCS 61 - wonderful recording! In the process of breaking in a Walker Audio Velocitor and new power cord supplying the turntable and phono stage. All I can say thus far is: "Wow!" This device is not leaving our system. |
More chamber music tonight starting with Franz Berwald's "String Quarter in g" played by the Chilingirian Quartet on CRD 1061. The CRD label (England) is well worth searching out for those who enjoy chamber music. Most of the recordings are by the excellent engineer Bob Auger who consistently captures exceptionally natural sounding, simply miked and transparent recordings.

. |
On the table now...
Led Zeppelin II (a pretty good George Piros mastering, AT/GP, which I need to compare to my RL ss mastering)
ZZ Top, Tres Hombres (early pressing - a bit of surface noise, but good sound otherwise. And great music!)
And coming up after being cleaned:
Ry Cooder/VM Bhatt, A Meeting by the River, Water Lily APW029-45
. |
Late afternoon listening began with, and has moved on through:
Roy Orbison, "Lonely & Blue" (Classic Records mono reissue - always a sonic disappointment compared to the Steve Hoffman mastered "All Times Greatest Hits..." on Pure Pleasure.)
ZZ Top, "Tres Hombres" (not the reissue)
Bruce Springsteen, some sides from "Live/1975-1985"
James Taylor, "Sweet Baby James" (Rhino reissue and original)

WOW! Dexter Gordon's "Dexter Calling" 45 rpm reissue from the Blue Note reissue series by Hoffman and Gray produced by Analogue Productions and Music Matters. This piece of vinyl is simply phenomenol! Blue Note 4083-45.
Did you see that the first two records in the Music Matters series are now sold out? The mail order retailers who still have a few copies have already increased their prices. When these are gone, they will never be seen again.
. |
Mahler, Symphony No. 5, Barbirolli/New Philharmonia Orchestra, EMI SLS 785 - a marvelous performance and recording!
. |
Haydn, Cello Concertos, Orchestra da Camera Roma Classica with Rocci Filippini, cello - Fone 008-45 " Club of 496" I've been listening to several of these limited issue Fone recordings on vinyl and I continue to be impressed by them, particularly the 45 rpm issues. The recordings are all analog, minimally miked (with tube microphones), no electronic manipulation, and capture the instruments very accurately and naturally. The pressings themselves are one-step masterings, meaning that the lacquer is used to create the stamper directly, destroying the lacquer in the process, so only a limited number of LPs can be pressed from each lacquer. What this typically allows is even greater transparency to the finished LP because two intervening mold/plating steps (father and mother) have been eliminated. For the Club of 496 series, Fone presses only 496 records from each stamper. To make more LPs, a new mastering and new lacquer is required (which may or may not happen). This particular LP has a lot of high frequency energy which sounds like it comes from the acoustically very live, and resonant, recording venue. Once attuned to that balance, the instrumental timbre sounds spot on to these ears, with a marvelously resolved cello that is very forward in the soundstage, but not unpleasantly so. The performances are top drawer, with excellent work by cellist Filippini. After listening to these Fone LPs and the various Music Matters 45 rpm Blue Note reissues, my wife observed that they made many of our other LPs sound "cotton-y" - her expression for a bit of veiling over the sound. And that is very true: these LPs sound very transparent and alive. Quite a joy to hear. . |
Brahms, Piano Concerto No 2, Reiner/CSO/Gilels, RCA LSC 2219 (Cisco reissue - disappointing sonics, not my ideal performance) Neil Young, Greatest Hits, Reprise 48935 (Classic Records reissue - worth the price of admission) Thunderbolt Pagoda, st, Mutant Music MMLP025 (Worthy LP. See the post by Atmasphere) . |
Rossini, 6 Sonate a Quattro, Salvatore Accardo and others, Philips 4759648 (2LPs) (This limited edition reissue is one of the most realistic recordings of a string quartet in my collection. Yes, it's expensive. But the performances are superb and the recording quality and mastering are simply outstanding. If you enjoy chamber music, this exceptional 2LP set will rock you back on your heels.) Wagner, Tristan und Isolde, Bohm/Bayreuthe, Nilsson, Windgassen, Ludwig, DGG 2713 001 (a glorious cast in this exceptional performance from 1966) . |
Durufle, Suite, op5 - Torvald Toren at the Hedvig Eleonora Church Organ, Stockholm - Proprius 7854
Torvald Toren is an excellent organist playing on a beautiful organ built and voiced in the French "neo-classical" style, a superb organ for the music of Maurice Durufle. When the 32' Bourdon pipes are called upon in this beautifully recorded LP, you absolutely know it and feel it. (For people who tell me vinyl just can't reproduce bass as well as CDs, this is the LP I'm most likely to pull out to play for them.) This LP and it's sequel (Proprius 7855) contain four of Durufle's great organ works in marvelous sound. Highest recommendation if you love large scale French organ music and can find it.
. |
Listening right now to a delightful performance of Beethoven's 7th Symphony: Kajski conducting the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra, Tacet L 149. A very lithe, dynamic performance; and the all tube recording chain makes for a unique sonic quality - highly recommended! Earlier today: "Blues Jam at Chess" - a great live blues jam captured at the Chess Records studio in 1969 with the original Fleetwood Mac members (Peter Green era) and some great blues players like Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Shakey Horton, Honey Boy Edwards. A great reissue by Pure Pleasure. "Clair de Lune" - collection of orchestral short pieces performned by Raymond Agoult and the London Proms Symphony Orchestra in another great recording by Kenneth Wilkinson. RCA LSC 2326 (45 rpm reissue by Classic Records) . |
Simon & Garfunkel - "Bookends" (Columbia KCS 9529) in an early 2-eye red label pressing. This 40-year old LP has been played to death on low-fi equipment and it still sounds great tonight! (My listening partner wouldn't head off to bed until we'd finished playing the second side, and it's her LP that she bought in high school and played to death on an old "suitcase" model Magnavox player. Don't ever tell me vinyl doesn't have longevity.)
Joni Mitchell - "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" (Asylum 7E 1051). I've read some rave reviews of the recent Speakers Corner reissue of this LP, but the original sounds great to my ears here. The advantage of the reissue is supposed to be the elimination of compression used in mastering the original, but my original copy sounds very dynamic. Anyone heard the Speakers Corner reissue?
The White Stripes - "Elephant" (V2 Records 63881-27148) - OK, I'm impressed with Jack and Meg White. I picked up this LP some months ago and have only gotten around to listening to it tonight. (Somewhat ear shredding in the top end, requiring the addition of a bit of damping on the tonearm to clean up some of the edge, but great overall impact.) Now I have to clean and listen to "Icky Thump."
Telemann - "Trio Sonatas" performed by the Ensemble Rameau on Lyrinx 7908-020. Lovely period instrument performances captured in quite good sonics by Lyrinx, a label with consistently good quality engineering, mastering and pressings.
. |
"Antiphone Blues" (Proprius 7744) in honor of Arne Domnerus, the Swedish saxophonist who died this past Monday at the age of 83. A wonderfully unusual combination of jazz saxophone and organ (particularly at the time originally recorded in 1974); you owe it to yourself to listen to this recording. Domnerus' better known recording likely is "Jazz at the Pawnshop." " Thunderbolt Pagoda" (Mutant Music MMLP025) - I've mentioned this LP before and have enjoyed it once again this evening. Thanks again, Ralph! James Taylor - "Sweet Baby James" in the Steve Hoffman / Kevin Gray remastered reissue from Warner Bros. A very worthy improvement over the original pressing. Too bad other reissues from the major labels are not coming anywhere close to the superb quality of this one. The Nylons - "One Size Fits All" (Open Air OA 0301) - just sensational music making and total fun! . |
Yes, this has been a really nice thread, Joe. It's been a real pleasure to read what others are playing and share some suggestions as we play stuff in our music library. This evening we've been listening to:
Vieuxtemps - "Violin Concerto No. 5"
Bruch - "Scottish Fantasy"
-- Jascha Heifitz and Malcolm Sargent conducting. (RCA LSC 2603-45 Classic Records 45 rpm reissue) Outstanding performance captured in another excellent engineering job by Kenneth Wilkinson. (Another example supporting the argument that the best of the RCA catalog was actually recorded by Decca.)
Paganini - "Il Carnevale di Venezia" and "La Campanella" - Salvatore Accardo -vn, Italiana Chamber Orchestra (Fone 011-45, 45 rpm pressing)
Roy Orbison - "Pretty Woman" - single 12" LP 33rpm/45rpm reissue from Classic Records - a nice demonstration of the benefits of 45 rpm mastering compared to 33 rpm.
Moody Blues - "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor" Threshold THS 5.
Jazz from the Blue Note 45 rpm reissue series from Music Matters and Analogue Productions coming up...
. |
Spending a final day of vacation listening to some marvelous recordings that demonstrate the value of the time and effort we put into getting our systems to sound as good as we can get them to sound:
Beethoven, Symphony No. 7, Kajski/PolishChmPO, Tacet L 149
(yet again)
Sibelius, Finlandia, Mackerras/LondonPromsO, RCA LSC 2336-45 (Classic Records 45 rpm reissue)
Crosby, Stills & Nash, S/T, Atlantic SD 8229-45 (Classic Records 45 rpm reissue)
Nanci Griffith, The Last of the True Believers, Philo PH 1109
Pierre Cochereau, Triptych Symphony for Organ, played on the organ at Boston Symphony Hall, Aeolian Skinner, Volume XII (mono)
John Coltrane, Blue Train, Blue Note 1577 -45 (Analogue Productions 45 rpm reissue)
. |
Good to see this thread again tonight!
For me late today: the 45 rpm Cisco reissue of Famous Blue Raincoat, Jennifer Warnes. Yes, it's really, really good. Fellow Audiogoner Elinor encouraged me to get it and was right in his enthusiasm for it! |
Freddie Hubbard - "Here to Stay" - Blue Note ST-84135-45, Music Matters 45 rpm reissue. Marvelous! Music Matters nails it again with this 45 rpm reissue series.
. |
"Kalenda Maya - Songs & Dances 1200 to 1550" - Simax PS 1017 - one of those LPs that demonstrates that digital recordings on vinyl can sound great.
J.S. Bach "Fantasies" for Harpsichord, played by Alfred Gross in a superb LP from Das Ohr.
. |
Lonnie Johnson with Elmer Snowden -- "Blues, Ballads and Jumpin' Jazz" - Analogue Productions APR 3001. Great music making by these long time blues musicians. The interplay between them in the studio will make you feel like they've walked into your music room and settled down on the couch.
Jackie McLean, "Bluesnik" - Blue Note 84067-45 -- yet another superb Music Matters 45 rpm Blue Note reissue.
Hearing these two records come alive on one's system makes all the effort worthwhile.
. |
Stravinsky chamber music works played by the Boston Chamber Players on DGG 2530 551. DGG's chamber music recordings almost always sonically sonically outclass their orchestral recordings -- this one is excellent!
- Concertina for 12 Instruments
- Octet for Wind Instruments
- Pastorale for Vn and Qt of Wind Instruments
- Ragtime for Eleven Instruments
- Septet (1953)
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: "A Night in Tunisia" -- Blue Note 84049-45 -- Another gem from the Music Matters 45 rpm reissue series.
. |
A favorite listening partner, a glass of port and great music playing. Tonight in honor of the work of the great recording engineer, Marc Aubort: Ravel, "Valses nobles et sentimentales" - Skrowaczewski/MinnO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1004 Ravel, "Pavane pour une Infante Defunte" and "Le tombeau de Couperin" - Skrowaczewski/MinnO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1001 Gershwin, "Catfish Row Suite" [arranged by Gershwin from the music of "Porgy and Bess"] - Slatkin/StLouisSO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1005 Gershwin, "An American in Paris" - Slatkin/StLouisSO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1005 Great stuff!! With each side, my listening partner goes: "Oh, this sounds really good..." and for good reason. These are outstanding recordings, made even better by the outstanding remastering for Reference Recordings by Doug Sax. Read Michael Fremer's recently published interview with Marc Aubort, plus some good recording history: Elite Recordings: A Conversation With Freelance Recording Engineer Veteran Marc Aubort. |
Berlioz "Requiem" - Shaw/AtlantaSO, Telarc (I prefer the Davis/LSO on Philips, but one learns from different approaches)
Last night:
Berlioz "Les Troyens" - Davis/ROHO-CoventGarden on Philips (great music making)
. |
Slipknot - please note your impressions of the Hugh Masekela after you listen to it again.
On the turntable now:

Bohuslav Martinů - "String Quartets 5 and 7" - Panocha Qt, Supraphon 1111 2675 (thorny, challenging music - great stuff!)
Josquin Des Pres - "Missa Pange Lingua" - Tallis Scholars, Gimmell 1585 09 (as always, the singing from this group is sublime in one of the great choral works from any age)
. |
Continuing tonight with music of Bohuslav Martinů, but moving to some of his orchestral works:
..Rhapsody Concerto for Viola & Orchestra
..Cello Concerto No. 1
..Sinfonia Concertante for oboe, bassoon, violin and cello and orchestra

Art Pepper Quintet, "Smack Up" - Contemporary Records S7602-45 Analogue Productions 45rpm reissue
. |
Nino Rota, "Concerto per archi" - I Musici, Fone 026J
(Another in the very nicely evolving series of new all analog classical music recordings from Fone Records - engaging music, nicely performed and extremely well recorded - recommended, but with a very limited pressing run this 33 rpm LP will not be available for long.)
Coltrane's "Giant Steps" in the 45rpm ORG label reissue - yes, it's very nicely mastered and pressed, and the 45rpm resolution, air and detail are a huge help in delineating everything going on in these performance. Recommended if the music suits you.
. |
Joan Baez, Joan (Just bought for $2.99, flawless, blew me away!) Many of the recordings made for the Vanguard/Vox/Turnabout labels were simply outstanding sonically. The Joan Baez Vanguard records were particularly nicely recorded by one of the great recording engineers: Marc Aubort. (See the Mike Fremer interview with Aubort in which he comments about recording Joan Baez and The Weavers, among other topics.) It's no wonder this LP sounds so good! Congratulations on finding a copy in good condition. . |
Today will be a "listening free-for-all" with frineds coming over to share music. By concensus, because everyone will be familiar with the music, the initial line-up to calibrate everyone's ears to our audio system will be:
...a couple of cuts from Hank Mobley's "Soul Train" (Music Matters 45rpm reissue)
...The "Fields of Gold" cut from Eva Cassidy's "Songbird" album
...The last side Stravinsky's "Firebird" from the 45rpm Mercury reissue by Classic Records for a big symphonic piece
From there, the field will be open. Other candidates we considered for calibrating everyone's ears and our system included: Malcolm Arnold's "English Dances" on Lyrita, Stravinky's "Petrouchka" conducted by Danon on Chesky, Ravel's "Rhapsodie Espagnole" with Reiner on Classic's 45rpm reissue, Starker's Bach solo cello on Mercury, Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary" on Classic Records 45rpm, Ella Fitzgerald's "Mack the Knife" or a duo with Armstrong...
What would you have chosen? |
T_Bone, excellent listening session! The Carlos Kleiber recording is my favorite performance of the 5th - what a great LP.
The past Saturday with friends, a very eclectic music free for all for the afternoon:
Hank Mobley, Soul Station
Eva Cassidy, Songbird
Stravinsky, Firebird (Dorati)
Ella Fitzgerald, Live in Berlin
Louis Armstrong, Satchmo Plays King Oliver
Holst, The Planets (Previn, of course :-))
Buddy Miles, A Message to the People
Porcupine Tree (not sure which album)
Laurinda Almeida, Virtuoso Guitar (45rpm D2D)
Chet Baker, Picture of Heath
...and more. |
