Whats on your turntable tonight?

Hey Don- They were a great band. After Duke is about where I parted company. Am on a Genesis jag the last few days. Listened to Three Sides Live earlier today (actually 4 sides live on the recording I own...but that's good because Paperlate and some of their later studio drivel isn't there)...and Duke after W&W. I will have to dust off my copy of Lamb. There is some good music on that one but it always seemed a bit uneven to me. I'll give a listen to your favs. For me its been TOTT, W&W, ATTWT. Foxtrot needs to be in there too. Maybe I don't really have a favorite as such.

Ciao

Beethoven String Quartet No. 16, The Budapest String Quartet, Columbia - as the first notes emerged, it was simply "Oh, my. This is marvelous!"

I find the Budapest SQ to have an almost indescribable quality--not the best technically, perhaps, but so alive and unpredictable. There's a feeling that anything can and will happen. I think they're great. I especially like their Rasumovxky #3, last movement.

Tostadosunidos, I agree completely!

Vivaldi, Dixit Dominus, RV594 (Psalm 109 for solists, two choirs and two orchestras), Negri/ECO, John Alldis Choir, Philips 6700 116
(Captivating, as always. I have another performance of this work with Corboz conducting, whom I always admire, but the Negri performance is the one I keep coming back to when in the mood to listen to this work.)
