Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Bach - "Concerto For Violin and Oboe" Kapp/Ravina/Roseman Philharmonia Virtuosi of New York
Boismortier - "Sonatas For Flute and Harpsichord" Robin Hendrich/Philip Kraft
Haydn - "The Cello Concertos" Robinson/Harnoy Toronto Chamber Orchestra
Handel - "Messiah" in a small group performance by Christophers/The Sixteen, Hyperion A66251/2

The Oslo Consort (harpsichord, transverse flute, baroque guitar) playing music of the baroque period by Couperin, Monteclair, Piccinini, Quagliata, Riccio - Simax PS 1006 (such a delightfully recorded harpsichord)
Cannonball Adderley - "Know What I Mean" Analogue Productions 45rpm reissue of Riverside 9433

Prokofiev - "Lt. Kije" Reiner/CSO

Stravinsky - "Song of the Nightingale"

... both on Classic Records' reissue of RCA LSC 2150
(I love the Reiner/CSO performance of Lt. Kije, but the Song of the Nightingale is the recording engineering's masterpiece on this record.)

Simon and Garfunkel - "Bridge Over Troubled Water"

And coming up -

Shostakovich - "String Quartet No. 8" played by the Fiztwilliam Quartet on L'Oiseau Lyre DSLO 11.
.
Chicago - Chicago Transit Authority. All 4 sides. My first listen in a loooong time and I had forgotten what a great LP it is.
Sonny Rollins Quartet - "Tenor Madness" (Prestige LP 7047/Classic Records reissue)
Dire Straits - "Love Over Gold" (Warner 23728-1)
Rachmaninoff - "Isle Of The Dead" Reiner/Chicago Symphony (RCA LSC 2183/Classic Records reissue
