Whats on your turntable tonight?

Hi Stiltskin. Glad to see your recent contributions to this thread; your comments on "So Long So Wrong" are great to have!
.

Hello Rushton,Yes the M.O.FI./Rounder recording of So Long So Wrong is really something to behold...Perhaps you can weigh in on this,and any one eles...I was blissfully ignorant on what was achieved with monolithic recordings...What a huge mistake.My mono L.P.collection needs to grow for me to purchase a mono cartridge,so I can experience these jems at their very best...Disregarding mono recordings because they are mono...You truly are missing out...

I'm pulling out all my favorites; SRV, Diana Krall, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, Metallica, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Led Zepplin and anything else I can find. I picked up a new Lehmann Cube SE two weeks ago and got my Dynavector 17d2mkII this week...its a good day!!!

Congratulations, Dlwask! The night should turn out well for listening.

Around here, we're gravitating towards a chamber music evening, but "The Wall," "Who's Next" and "Night at the Opera" all stand beckoning in the wings. If the recently acquired copy of "Ummagumma" were cleaned, I know where I'd be heading. Hmmm..., maybe a short cleaning session is in order! Nope, significant other is headed to bed early so chamber music it will be.

Coming up:

Malcolm Arnold's "Fantasies" for various instruments, Hyperion series of LPs (great stuff; often lots of fun)

Alwyn, String Quartets, Qt of London, Chandos ABRD 1063 (nice performance! but a digital LP with that nasty digital edge on the strings)

Crumb, Sonata for Cello, Helmerson -vc, BIS LP65
Hindemith, Sonata for Cello, Helmerson -vc, BIS LP65
(Frans Helmerson is a marvelous cellist who is vastly underappreciated in the U.S. His recordings for BIS in the late '70s are uniformly superb: LP-5, 25, 26, 28, 35, 64. His recordings with BIS continue to date. www.cellist.nl/database/showcellist.asp?id=67)

...{"What? You're a classical music lover and you don't collect BIS recordings?!?
...For shame! You're missing some marvelous recordings.}

Bach, Suites for solo cello, Mercury Speakers Corner reissue (just one or two at a time)

Villa-Lobos, Various Pieces for Guitar, Mats Bergstrom -gui, Proprius PROP 9521 (one of those ocassional digital recordings that sound superb! two mikes and a DAT recorder, 1989.)

That should make for a satisfying evening!

Rushton I played the Wall by coincidence around 7 o'clock tonight and WYWH also
