"Trouble" is such a wonderful record. |
@slaw +1 on the Dawn Landes. I saw her live with Hem once and was impressed with her modest style and commitment to her music.

Too much Bruckner and not enough Brahms...? |
Ya know, Bruckner is one composer I’ve never been able to warm up to, albeit I do try....so, I’ll always take Brahms before Bruckner ;-) |

Thanks Steve for the reminder...... So good |
The Jayhawks - "Hollywood Town Hall"

Power has been out here for 5 hours. Freezing rain. |
@spiritofradio Apparently Brahms himself didn’t care for Bruckner much. Yes James, as I understand Brahms said Bruckner’s work was ‘unlistenable’. |

@bkeske,
What do you think Brahms would say about, say for instance, Schoenberg? I
sometimes I like to speculate....

@spiritofradio @bkeske,

I doubt anything positive, but to be expected when he could not foresee the future or understand any rationale to move music in a direction as that. As a visual artist, I would think the same for Renoir commenting on Picasso, if he had the chance and was able. Heck, I doubt Haydn would have expressed any good thoughts about Ravel. But, Brahms and Bruckner were both creating at the same time. And it was not unusual for one composer to criticize another; There are a big egos involved in creating symphonies as both Brahms and Bruckner did, even though Bruckner was always described as a humble creator. That has been happening in the arts for a long time. It is interesting though, that ‘modern’ conductors such as Szell embraced both. In fact, it somewhat surprises that Szell directly provided such a great platform (The Cleveland Orchestra) for someone like Boulez, as example, and provided him that platform to express and display his beliefs to what ‘classical’ music could include. And at the same time, fully embrace all the great earlier works over the past 200+ years. |

Deutsche Grammophon Nice, did you get the set? What do you think? |
John Hiatt - Slow Turning ( a lowly recent reissue .... ) |
Got in Mazzy Star "She Hangs Brightly" . Hope to get to play it this weekend. |
@bkeske, yes, on your recommendation, I did. What a bargain! The 4th isn’t my favorite by a long ways but I thought to take them in order. Working up to the 6th which is a favorite. Sonics are good but not great, so far. I think I see what you mean about this version - it seems very authentic. Vinyl is strong NM. Happy to have it. |
Grateful Dead - American Beauty

@slaw
Let me know what you think of that Mazzy Star pressing!

I think I’m having an audiophile moment

This set has been sitting on my ottoman patiently awaiting to be finished after I got through half. Well, tonight, I will finish this.
Karl Böhm conducts Wagner - Tristan Und Isolde , complete opera. Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele. Deutsche Grammophon 5LP box set. Believe this may be a 1966 release, as it has the ‘big tulips’ label, and heavy vinyl. Very clean and quiet. German pressing.
