Whats on your turntable tonight?

Michael Hoenig
Departure from the Northern Wasteland - O/P

So cool.  You’ve been there at the source!  It’s obvious from the sound of her records that she and/or her team take great care with the recording and production. I appreciate this so much.  I like her music.  Her classy personality comes through her music and she’s a wonderful pianist.  
I think it’s pretty incredible though (to me) how crazy contrastingly different people, Anne & Sophia just an example, can appeal through good sound.  Maybe it’s kinda simple and dumb of me to be impressed by contrasts - I don’t know - interesting to me though.  

Re: Hoenig.  Haven’t played this in many years (35...?).  Remembered it as far more spectacular.  In my mind it’s upliftingly high bright and light.  On the (“shouty”, “strictly mid-fi”) horns this morning it’s low down, dark and funereal.   

I think I need to find redemption in a spiraling clarinet solo somewhere...
