Whats on your turntable tonight?

Last night:

Arturo Delmoni: "Songs My Mother Taught Me" John Marks Records, originally issued on NorthStar. Romantic works for violin and piano marvelously rendered by a master violinist. If you don't know this record, and you enjoy chamber music, seek it out! Beautifully recorded, beautifully performed (as is all of Delmoni's work).

"Popular Masterworks of the Baroque" Tafelmusik Baroque Orch, Reference Recordings RR13 (45 rpm, half-speed mastered by Stan Ricker). IMO, one of the great Reference Recordings LPs by the (then young) Canadian group.

"Music of Pachabel, Gluck and Handel" Hogwood/Academy of Ancient Music, L'Oiseau Lyre DSLO 594. A beautiful analog recording of music performed in Hogwood's typically light, delicate and lively style. Nicely recorded and quite good sound even through the rigors of DMM mastering.

Pink Floyd, "Wish You Were Here" Columbia PC 33453 - hey, we all have to have some fun!
.

ok it's my CD player again sounding even more analogue than it ever has thanks to GNSC spun Pink Floyd "The Wall" hearing many details previously unheard before.

Tonight:

More Bach:
Starker: Suite 3 for Solo Cello, Mercury, Speakers Corner reissue
Delmoni: Partita 2 for Solo Violin, WaterLily 07, followed by the flip side with music of Kreisler and Ysaye.

Supertramp: Crime of the Century, A&M SP 3647 (I just don't understand people who trash this US pressing. It's very good. But, I haven't heard the Speakers Corner reissue or a good British pressing to compare. Anyone?)

Coming up later:
Holst: Savitri, Holst,I/ECO, Purcell Singers, J.Baker, Argo ZNF6 (and compare to ZK98) (a real treat if your system can generate a deep, broad and realistic soundstage)
.

Ruston,
I can't speak to the US pressing of "Crime Of the Century", but I do have the 180g Speaker's Corner reissue. We'll have to spin it on that Walker of yours one of these days. It's holographic, information far beyound the boundries of the loudspeaker. Very quiet surface.

Tonight:
Ravel "Bolero" Bizet "Carmen Suite" Wallenstein/Virtuoso Symphony of London (Audio Fidelity FCS 50,005) Disc is one of several Audio Fidelity recordings aquired this weekend ata library booksale. Excellent condition, just need to run them through the RCM and put them into fresh sleeves.

Joe, I'd like to hear the Speakers Corner reissue. Let's plan to compare the two the next time we can get together.
