| Music trivia anyone? Sedond--nope, try again. It was this group's only song I ever heard played on the radio, but maybe someone from the Bay area around that time knew more of them. The song, which was one of those 10+ minute songs, was about a guy on a train in a tun... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Undertaker, your hint wasn't too much help, as that's one of their few albums I never got! Let me try with their producer, George Martin, who played piano on a number of their albums, including the Help album. Otherwise, how about Billy Preston, w... | |
| 1 track digital demo. What do you pick? For SACD, Delos recording of the Mahler 2nd, third or fifth movements. For CD, Reference Recordings, Bernstein Candide Overture. | |
| Which software are you buying?SACD or LP I'm buying about equal amounts of vinyl and SACD these days, but the vinyl is reissues that aren't out yet on SACD and may not be for a while, if ever (Classic RCAs and Decca and EMI reissues)--my figuring is to get them now before they're out of ... | |
| music you cant live without Tubegroover, I'm going to have to check out the Pratt Rachmaninoff, thanks. My favorite interpretation of that piece has been the unusual Richter one on DG from the 60s, but the sonics are such that you have a gigantic piano stretching across the ... | |
| I don,t Understand ???? Dekay may be right, that doesn't make any sense. | |
| music you cant live without I'll try to add to the minority. Anything by J.S. Bach, particularly his choral pieces, and Brahms, Shostakovich's 1st and 5th symphonies, Prokofiev's 2nd and 3rd piano concerti and first symphony, Rachmaninoff's 2nd and 3rd piano concerti and sol... | |
| So much Bach, where do I start? That one's my favorite; usually they're two to a CD. One more thing I just thought of, you might want to ease your way into Bach's keyboard music through Stokowski's orchestral transcriptions of some of those works (remember the opening Toccatta a... | |
| So much Bach, where do I start? I agree with Sugarbrie, particularly on the Pinnock recommendation for the Brandenburgs, my favorite for its vitality. Rilling's recordings are on the Hanssler label, pretty well recorded and fine interpretations. I suggest you get the Magnificat,... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Frogman, I'll give you points, but it was 2 out of 3 (the last one was a little bit of a trick question). Steve Katz was the lead guitarist for BST, but NOT the Blues Project, where he was the rhythm guitarist (as we called them back then). Lead g... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Undertaker, I'll try again, you got me looking through my old Beatles albums. Would you consider Anil Bhagwat, the tabla player on "Love You To" from the Revolver album, to be a "featured" artist? I was going to guess the clarinetist from "When I'... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Undertaker, in answer to your Beatles question (2), does Revolution No. 9 (no. 9, no.9, no.9) count as a song? | |
| Music trivia anyone? This is a nice thread. Undertaker, on your (1) Beatles question, I don't think Ravi Shankar played the sitar on "Within You, Without You", did he? If not, I seem to recall that Eric Clapton played on one of their White Album cuts--was it "While My... | |
| Best Pressing Recommendations Please I just got my copy of Led Zep 1 from Classic Records the other day, will let you know how it compares, but would expect it to be a superior reissue. | |
| Best Pressing Recommendations Please I agree with both of the posts above. The Classic reissues have been criticized in the past for being less sweet or lush sounding than the originals, but they're just getting you closer to the master tape, IMO. They are quieter, more dynamic and h... |
