Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Music

Nicolo Paganini - Salvatore Accardo, London Philarmonic orchestra, Charles Dutoit, Concerto Per Violino (N.1) "Le Streghe" (DG) UK 1976.

@tgilb, how's the SQ on that Steve Winwood record?

The Motels - Little Robbers

@spiritofradio

      how's the SQ on that Steve Winwood record?

The SQ is inconsistant with some songs really good and others not so good. I purchased the album twice a few years ago. The first one purchased had a skip on the second song that I couldn't fix. I returned it and the second copy did not skip but the SQ was about the same. I had the CD first and to me it sounds much better than the record. It's a shame because it's a great live album.

Arrived today:

John Prine "Sweet Revenge"
2021/Rhino

Leonard Cohen "Live in London"
2009/Sony Legacy

Mark Knopfler "Local Hero"
2020/Mercury/Abbey Road Half Speed

Received 23 LP’s in the mail today. Should be a good evening….and no, I won’t be able to spin them all tonight 😁

First up, and the lone non-classical of the 23…..

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Will The Circle Be Unbroken. UA 3LP gatefold. So many versions, but checking, this may be a 1972 pressing.

Looking forward to this, have not heard it in over 40 years.

Jeff Beck Group - with the Orange on the cover. Early 70's Epic Records pressing. Jeff Beck is off the rails on the song Going Down. And with some great Max Middleton piano to boot. 

Been playing with a ClearAudio Maestro 2 mm. Dang thing sounds REALLY nice! A keeper for sure!

Peter Gabriel- So 

Bkeske,
23 LP's? Wow, save some for the rest of us :-)

Puffball,
Thanks for the info, I'll check them out!

Listening to "Infrared Roses" & some moe. CD's tonight

Tom Waits - Small Change

BoDeans - their first album Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams from 1986 on WB's Slash Records. If you're familiar with this band you've got to love the song Misery.

@flennon 

Welcome!   

Roth String Quartet : Kodály - String Quartet No. 1, Op. 2. Philips World Series reissue, early 60’s, originally 1956.

@flennon   Welcome, you're going to love this thread.  I get great ideas of what to play and/or what to buy from here on a regular basis.

The Moody Blues  'In Search Of The Lost Chord'  I love this album.  Saw them in concert just after it released.  My second time to see them.

Leo Kottke  S/T  Great album of guitar picking.

The Motels  'Little Robbers'  Got the idea to play this from a few posts above.  Great album, I have had it since it was first released.  My copy is particularly good with quiet vinyl, pin-point imaging, and great dynamics.  

Note; for you NBA fans, I'm heading to the Clippers/Mavericks game tomorrow night at the Staples Center.  Center court, 7 rows up from the floor.  And I scored them for free!

György Lehel conducts Bartók - Symphonic Poem "Kossuth" Sz. 75a, Bb 31 / Scherzo In C Major From Symphony In E Flat Major Dd 68, Bb 25 / Scherzo For Piano And Orchestra. Budapest Symphony Orchestra with Tusa Erzsébet, piano. Hungaroton 1971, Hungarian release.

Leonard Cohen "Live in London"

@slaw This is a phenomenal album. I also have it on DVD which is essential.

Cowboy Junkies - Caution Horses (again)
Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Imperial Bedroom

Welcome @flennon,


.......................
👍 @noromance

Karel Ancerl conducts Bartok - Concerto for Orchestra. Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Parliament, unknown release date, maybe early 70’s. US Release of an original Supraphon Czech release in 1963.

Bobby Hackett: Soft Lights and Bobby Hackett. Capitol Records. Great dollar bin find. Great SQ. 
Also Teddy Wilson Sextet. B Flat Swing. Jazz archives records 1975. Collection from 1944. Another bin find.  Dont know about you, but nothing makes me happier than than finding a quality record second hand that someone else discarded. Always wish I knew the story attached to these things.

Sir Adrian Bolt conducting Vaughan Williams - Symphony No. 9. London Philharmonic Orchestra. Everest reissue, date unknown, but probably mid-60’s per label. Originally recorded in 1958.

Man, this is very very nice.

Massenet - Placido Domingo, Grace Bumbry, Paul Plishka, Opera Orchestra Of New York, Eve Queler, Byrne Camp Chorale – Le Cid  (Columbia Masterworks 1976)

Cluster  “Konzerte 1972/1977”

Brotzmann/Leigh  “Sparrows Night”

William S. Burroughs “Nothing Here Now but the Recordings”

Maki Asakawa  no title

The Notting Hillbillies - Missing... Presumed Having a Good Time

Maria Callas, Bellini – Norma (Selezione Dell Opera)  (Intl Music Of Italy 1981)

Shelby Lynn
Just a Little Lovin'

oh my 

David Crosby - Here if You Listen. This is a really great sounding record.

@spiritofradio Isn't she fantastic?

@big_greg Yeah, no kidding.  Very nice production values on this album.  

@big_greg, I love that Crosby record.  Becca Stevens is a favorite.   That one and Lighthouse are both incredibly good records.  

Harold Farberman conducts Charles Ives - Orchestral Works : Robert Browning Overture For Large Orchestra, The Circus Band March, Set For Theatre Orchestra, & The Unanswered Question. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Vanguard Cardinal Series 1967

UFO - Phenomenon 

@spiritofradio Sky Trails is good also. 

I had an opportunity to turn up the volume more so than usual so thought I would take advantage of the extra time with a few choice selections.

Led Zeppelin I Side 2.
Led Zeppelin II Side 1.
Pink Floyd Echoes. Pink Floyd DSOTM Side 2.
Crazy Horse Self Titled. This album is a hidden gem.
Wound it down with John Coltrane A Love Supreme.

All on great sounding early pressings. 

I moved on to side one of Led Zeppelin 2 after side one of UFO Phenomenon.

@big_greg  Great selections. Jimmy Page is definitely the king but on Whole Lotta Love the Bass and Drumming is what really gets me and can show off a nice system.

@tgilb I think we're on the same wavelength. That's what I wanted to hear, that great drumming by Bonham.

Yes in deed. John Bonham was definitely the king.

Rafael Kubelik conducting Borodin Polovtsian Dances and Symphony No. 2, Vienna Philharmonic

I wanted to do a full on comparison, symphony by symphony, VonKarajan v. Bernstein. Just 1 problem- I can’t find my Bernstein set. How a guy could misplace a 9 album record set is beside me. Maybe my doppelgänger stole it? I’ve had this set for ages.

@big_greg I have to agree- Crosby’s album is great.

@ctwith3  - lovely - you're putting me in the mood for some piano music!
