| Best recording of Mack the Knife Bobby Darin I used to like "Live at the Copa," but I cannot attest to the recording quality. It's worth checking out. | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Ptss, you should hear his EMI recordings from the 20'w and 30's. Anything but "coolish." It's not the tired old man who stayed on the concert stage decades beyond his shelf life. It's raw and gutsy playing. | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Lloydc, perhaps those were recording mics.I didn't notice them. I noticed the number of people with uncontrollable coughs and there were many. So it goes. | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Ptss, I think he's a fine composer. I really like the Op. 9 Sonata in C. Sort of Beethovenian IMO. You may know he knew LVB and played cello in the premier of the 5th and 6th symphonies... Anyway, he and Sor are my favorite of the 19th-c. composer... | |
| REM by MTV "the Beatles of college radio?" Thou dost blaspheme. | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Lloydc, I saw Segovia in Jones Hall around '75 (give or take a year) and I'm nearly certain there was no amplification. I don't know that he ever played amplified anywhere.The one time I saw Parkening was a large room in Austin and he was not ampl... | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Lloyd, I've only heard a few classical guitar concerts where amplification was used. JW was one of the artists and I think the only other time was one of the times I heard the Assad Bros. I could make a long list of the fine classical guitarists I... | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels I agree, but some makers have gone off in totally new directions which don't please everyone. I'd rather hear John Williams on his old Fleta than on a new Smallman. But, yes, overall it's a golden age for lutherie--for all instruments, it seems. T... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Freak Out--Zappa/Mothers Music from Big Pink--the BandFresh Cream Are You ExperiencedIf you weren't around before they were released these may not make sense to you.BTW, if it hasn't been mentioned, Fragile was not the first album by Yes--I believ... | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Ptss,the players of old each had a "signature sound." I don't know why, but on stringed instruments these days everyone sounds so very similar for the most part. There are a few exceptions, but it's hard to tell most of them from just a few second... | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Ptss, I agree that the younger players are amazing technicians. But I have a problem telling them apart, with noted exceptions (Jorge Caballero, Lorenzo Michele and Ana Vidovic). | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Schubert, Eliot's baroque performances are just unbelievable--more like a harpsichordist than a guitarist. You should check out his Scarlatti (if you haven't already). | |
| Your Dream/Team Rock Band Hendrix/Winwood/Bruce/Mitchell Jimi Hendrix, guitar/vocals; Steve Winwood, keyboards/guitar/vocals; Jack Bruce, bass/vocals; Mitch Mitchell, drumsI'd be willing to substitute Jack Casady for Jack Bruce, but you're losing a great singer/songwriter ... | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Schubert, you give me too much credit but I thank you.Ptss, I think Pepe is a great player for concertos but he makes a sound with his thumbnail which I just cannot stand. I can even pick this sound out on the car radio when I don't know who the p... | |
