On the table now... Led Zeppelin II (a pretty good George Piros mastering, AT/GP, which I need to compare to my RL ss mastering) ZZ Top, Tres Hombres (early pressing - a bit of surface noise, but good sound otherwise. And great music!) And coming up after being cleaned: Ry Cooder/VM Bhatt, A Meeting by the River, Water Lily APW029-45 . |
Herrmann "The Mysterious Film World of Bernard Herrmann" Herrmann/National Philharmonic Orchestra (London SPC21137) "Phase 4 Stereo" Rachmaninoff "Concerto No.3" Van Cliburn/Kondrashin/Symphony of the Air (RCA LSC 2355) Tchaikovsky "Concerto No.1, in B-Flat Minor, Op. 23" Van Cliburn/Kondrashin (RCA LM-2252) |
Listening right now to a delightful performance of Beethoven's 7th Symphony: Kajski conducting the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra, Tacet L 149. A very lithe, dynamic performance; and the all tube recording chain makes for a unique sonic quality - highly recommended! Earlier today: "Blues Jam at Chess" - a great live blues jam captured at the Chess Records studio in 1969 with the original Fleetwood Mac members (Peter Green era) and some great blues players like Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Shakey Horton, Honey Boy Edwards. A great reissue by Pure Pleasure. "Clair de Lune" - collection of orchestral short pieces performned by Raymond Agoult and the London Proms Symphony Orchestra in another great recording by Kenneth Wilkinson. RCA LSC 2326 (45 rpm reissue by Classic Records) . |
