The Good Stuff



There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

@danager *L* Actually, no....but am pleasantly stunned by your responses, if all were aimed towards me. ;)  Being given a playlist that would likely take me a week or so to sift through doesn't occur on any regular basis... *G*

I do urge any interested in taking an advantage on this, however....
I like to think I play well with others, given what I do for a living, owning a company that builds playground items... *S*  It does limit my time to 'seriously enjoy' music beyond my 'day to day' 'dreck'. *LOL*

And, after all....Thanks! 👍😃 J

This tread to me is all what the forums should be. 👍

My only wish is that instead of YouTube videos they could be placed on a Qobuz playlist so I wouldn't have to look up each track / artist and add them to by favorites manually.

Well rok , A recording is not a live concert .

I n the last 50+ yearsI have been to over 2,000 live Classical concerts .

A dozen of them were the LSO . They have the power of Berlin and with English

composers (some) the melody of Vienna . It is what I said it is , good as any .

When Previn had it  better at times .I have not heard Cleveland in 40 yrs,

All I know is that Cleveland is THE poorest of any major American city , what

that means for the Orchestral world I now not what..
