Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

Tonight
Sibelius "Symphony No. 2 in D Major Op. 43" Ashkenazy/Philharmonia (London LDR 10014) Unfortunate early digital recording/pressing of a nice performance despite the fact that it was engineered by none other than Kenneth Wilkinson.
Bill Evans Trio "Moonbeams" (Riverside/Original Jazz Classics RLP-9428/OJC-434) Classic Records reissue
Played hooky again tonight and went to the the Curtis Institute's faculty concert instead: Arnold Steinhardt (first violin of the Guarneri String Quartet) and Anna Polonsky, piano, playing Beethoven, Janacek and R.Strauss. Outstanding!

Rushton, Live music... probably the single sound that beats a great turntable, agreed?! Cheers!
R_f_sayles, yep! The audio system is for the dry spells. Right now we are in the height of the classical music live performance season: orchestra concerts on Saturdays and Curtis Institute of Music recitals on weeknights whenever the students and my schedule coincide! For us, it just doesn't get any better that sitting in a wonderful chamber music venue 15' from world class performers; or sitting in the concert hall in 1st Tier Box seats at the same height as the recording mikes with 105 (+/-) of the best orchestral players in the world arrayed in front of you.
