Whats on your turntable tonight?

.
I second and third Rushton's recommendation that you don't miss out on getting the Bach Cello Suites / Janos Starker on Speaker's Corner.

It is all he says and more....

Tonight was loud for me too:

Nick Lowe - Labour of Lust
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy
Pink Floyd - Meddle

Recording quality in the 70s was all over the map, sometimes even track to track on the same album, but there was a lot of great music made...

Last night was a Celtic night again with:

Ossian - "St. Kilda Wedding" Iona IR 001
Ossian - "Seal Song" Iona IR 002
- a great traditional music group with Billy Jackson on harp

and some good "new" folk from the '70s with John O'Connor "Songs for our times" on Flying Fish FF 331. The 30 minutes spent with Mary O'Hara just doesn't count.

Tonight is starting with Haydn symphonies played by Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields on Philips. I really enjoy Marriner's way with Haydn. It's not period instruments, but it has the light touch and sympathetic performance of Marriner and the Academy that I find very enjoyable:

Haydn, Symphonies 52 and 53, Marriner/ASMF, Philips 6500 114
.

Arturo Delmoni: Songs My Mother Taught Me
Bill Evans Quintessence Analogue Productions 45 rpm, esp. Sweet Dulcinea
Prokofiev: Love For Three Oranges Suite, Classic Records 45 series.

Has anyone heard the Buck Clayton album "How Hi the Fi" on Pure Pleasure Records? I have heard the performance is outstanding. What about the sonics?

Thanks,

Sorry, haven't heard the Buck Clayton, but I really like the three selections you've been listening to. I find the Delmoni particularly delightful.
