Whats on your turntable tonight?

R f,
I have to append my answer: They weren't all issued in the same year, or in the early 80's. I didn't take into account "Beggar's Banquet" and a couple of others. My other guess would have been that each LP was the second effort for each artist, but the Led Zep is their 1st LP, right? I give up. What is it?

A very entertaining Impulse! 3-LP set called The Saxophone, A Critcal Guide. Don Byas is playing All The Things You Are right now. Great stuff.

A clue is: they contain one key player in all of these recordings....

Nicky Hopkins playing piano?

Montepilot, good to see your list of music! Nice to have more classical music listed for those like me who live mainly in that world.

Slipknot, any reactions to "Il Cornetto"? Hope I didn't lead you down the path of "it must be an acquired taste" on this LP...

Tonight here has been:

John Lill playing Schuman's "Fantasia in c, op 17" on a beautiful all analog recording produced in 2004: Green Room Productions 4001. This is recording engineer Tony Faulkner's label and reflects his return to analog tape for his own productions. A lovely 1964 Steinway piano captured by Neuman M50 tube mikes into a Studor A80 tape deck, then half speed mastered by Stan Ricker and pressed at RTI. Outstanding performance by Lill, captured in outstanding sonics by Faulkner.

Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps performed by Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on Decca SXL 6691 (the Speakers Corner reissue sounds very good! besting my original Decca in many respects).
