Whats on your turntable tonight?

Lousy rainy weekend, so I listened to all 8 sides of Handel's Messiah. - in one sitting lol. It's an old pressing I got from a friend - I have 2 other box sets that I have not listened to. This was on Composer's Concept Series. The London Philharmonic Choir with the London Orch. Walter Susskind conductor. Recorded in London at St. Mary Magdalene in Paddington 1959. Included was a booklet that talked about Handel, the conductor, the orchestra, and, believe it or not, the engineers and the microphones they used. Great performance, and I can't believe I actually listened to this. Will give it another listen. LOVED it.

Also

Diana Krall - Live in Paris - ORG 45 rpm - WOW - great recording and performance - Original mastering by Doug Sax, engineering by Al Schmidt, Bernie Grandma did vinyl mastering for 45 rpm - she got the best of the best on this. 

Eric Clapton - Nothing But the Blues - LIveNov 1994 at the Fillmore, SF. Great performance and some excellent solos by EC.

Pat Metheny - Side Eye NYC - VG live performance post Lyle Mays.

Miles Davis - My Funny Valentine in Concert - MoFi. Miles - love him.

BBM - Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Gary Moore - another WOW. I got this mostly for GM - I think he is very underrated.

😉👍🏼 Nice, that’s the way to do it. I have a few opera box sets I need a weekend like that to dedicate the spinning of the complete opera to.
