Back from Vacation, first records since being back and they sound wonderful.

Beethoven

Piano Sonata No.23 in F Minor, Op.57

”Appassionata”

Ikuyo Kamiya, Pianist

Piano: Bösendorfer, Imperial

RCA (Japan)Direct Mastering 45 RPM

Recorded live from the hall directly to the master disc on February 2nd 1977.

This is one of the best solo piano recordings I’ve ever, in my admittedly limited experience, heard. It’s especially beautiful in the difficult lower register.

Welcome back Spiritofradio!

Psychic Temple / Houses of the holy 

Thanks Tim!

Punch Brothers

The Phosphorescent Blues

2015 Nonesuch

I went on a music cruise with Punch Brothers, and 30-40 other bluegrass bands, the year this album was released. The first Mountain Song At Sea. Incredible musical experience. Bluegrass players agree: Punch Brothers are the best string band there is. I love this record. Also the SQ on this record is fantastic, in case anyone is concerned about that.
