Whats on your turntable tonight?

A great Sunday afternoon of listening:
.
Harry James - Comin’ From a Good Place - Sheffield Lab # LAB-6 – A large, large warm grin . Rushton, give this one a try as well .
.
Diana Krall - “The Very Best of Diana Krall” - Verve - 2 LP set - What a Sunday Afternoon is all about.
.
Malcolm Arnold - English –Scottish & Cornish Dances - Lyrita - Stereo – SRCS.109 - If you don't have socks on after listening to this one, it is not because you did not have any on when you started.
.
Mozart - “Mass in C Minor” DG reissue by Speakers Corner - If you do not believe that there is something beyond this existence, listening to this record might make you start to think ..
.
Happy Holidays to you all.

Hi Larry (Cello), great list of music; I like your selections! Yes, the Harry James "Comin' from a good place" is a good 'un. Love the Arnold and the Mozart Mass recordings!

Led Zeppelin....Physical Graphitti, recent events have me thinking about them again :-)

For Christmas Day, we've been listening to a bunch of non-seasonal music:

Stravinsky "Firebird," on Classic Records 45 rpm reissue of the Dorati/Mercury. We use this record to validate final system setup, the third side is a montrous test of one's system. I recently heard this sound just horrible at friend's home and he couldn't understand why I liked it so much; all I could tell him was that it wasn't the record. But to hear it well does take some immaculate system setup.

Bizet's "L'Arlesienne Suites 1 and 2" and Chabrier's "Espana Rapsodie" also on a Classic Records 45rpm reissue (RCA LSC 2327-45). Another great Decca recording that built RCA's reputation: the eminent Kenneth Wilkinson, engineer, in Kingsway Hall.

Joni Mitchell, her self-titled first album in a pressing my wife has had since it first came out nearly 40 years ago -- still holding up exceptionally well!

Rossini-Respighi, "La Boutique Fantasque" from the Royal Ballet Gala Performances set, Ansermet, RCA LDS 6065-45 (another Classic Records 45rpm reissue) and another great Decca recording on contract to RCA, again with Kenneth Wilkinson engineering the recording at Kingsway Hall.

Adam, "Giselle: Introduction" also from the Royal Ballet Gala Performances set (above).

More to come later in the evening...

Rushton - good to see you back and listening again. It's been some time since I posted here as well. Spending some time at home recuperating from illness, feeling good enough to listen to some music - finally.
