From one of the two ‘unusual’ Korean box sets I have; ‘The Great Classical Music of the World’ collection. All within the collection are previously individual releases by Decca, Philips, and Deutsche Grammophon. All in near mint condition, pressed well, and sound great.
The selection; Kirill Kondrashin conducts Dvorak Symphony #9 ‘From the New World’. Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. |
Kurt Elling, "Flirting with Twilight." It's one of the Blue Note 75th anniversary reissues. |

A lot of press and praise for Maria Schneider lately - it’s good and I like it just fine - but I have to say that she learned everything she knows from Metheny and Gismonti. |

My Patricia Barber Cafe Blue one-step showed up from Elusive Disc yesterday. I may let her out of quarantine this evening. |
Just came in the mail, had to take a work break, clean it, and spin it.
Fairport Convention - Self Titled. A&M reissue, probably mid 70’s per label design. Going to guess 1976 from the liner. Originally 1969.
Sounds fantastic. Really great condition. |

@bkeske, Congratulations Brian on the acquisition of a clean copy of that antique record. Such a satisfying feeling isn’t it when they show up and play great.
I went through a fairly serious obsession with Fairport Convention and related music during the late 90s. That period of our history and much of the then new music in it was so bleak to me but the early FC music was something to focus on that was real and good. Maybe it was an imaginary nostalgic trip to a time and place I’d never really lived but wished I had. Anyway, enough to say it’s pretty clear why music of RT & associates continues to appeal. |
@spiritofradio
Thanks James. I never usually spend this much on used vinyl, but really wanted this in my collection since I’ve gotten back into vinyl. But really, $20 + shipping was actually not a bad deal seeing what these copies are going for. The vinyl is in VG++ condition, and cover is very clean and nice as well.
I’ve been a FC Fan since the early/mid 70’s. This self titled from 1969, with Sandy Denny, was a must have for me. I’m not even sure any of my buddies had this one back in the day. I never did.
SQ is actually very nice. Happy camper with this one. |

That Hilary Hahn Bach album is incredible. |
That Hilary Hahn Bach album is incredible. Indeed it is. I may not be the best judge of these things but to me it seems like her playing is exceptional. I also have her Bach Concertos )with the LA Chamber Orchestra) in heavy rotation. Skilled and emotive. *. *. *. Thinking more about Fairport Convention, do you know the work of the UK Folk musicians Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker? If not try Nothing Can Bring Back The Hour. It’s incredibly good. Worthy to pick up where FC left off and phased out a long time ago, I think. @noromance, was thinking you might dig their stuff too if you don’t know it already. |

A voice to fall in love with. MPB is great; absolute incomprehensible lyrics so the music isn’t spoiled. |

@spiritofradio
I’m not familiar with Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker. I’ll make a note and see what’s on Tidal. Thanks.
As far as Hilary, yea, her solo Bach album is spectacular. In the ‘classical circles’, Hilary is a bit of a polarizing musician. Some feel she is too technically ‘perfect’ and doesn’t bring enough of herself and emotion to the work. I can see that as compared to some, but personally, I think she is fantastic, and don’t quite understand that criticism overall. Then, there are others, as myself, who are mesmerized by her playing. I have many of her works on CD, and enjoy them all. |
