Whats on your turntable tonight?

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Piano Music
Charles Rosen, Piano
fonè 2020

Sonata in A minor KV 310/300d
unfinished suite KV399/385i
Sonata in A major KV331/300i

The Piano is an 1884 C.Bechstein
made in Berlin and it’s not like other pianos. It’s beautiful and beautifully recorded but it sounds different, hard to describe, maybe smaller and dryer sounding than concert pianos I’m accustomed to.

Oh Me Oh My:
Aretha Live In Philly, 1972
Atlantic/Rhino 2021 RSD

Really cool story about this record and it’s fun music and the vinyl is well produced with transparent sound but it was a mess of a recording with the band out of balance and Aretha only occasionally singing with the benefit of the microphone.
