Stravinsky chamber music works played by the Boston Chamber Players on DGG 2530 551. DGG's chamber music recordings almost always sonically sonically outclass their orchestral recordings -- this one is excellent! - Concertina for 12 Instruments - Octet for Wind Instruments - Pastorale for Vn and Qt of Wind Instruments - Ragtime for Eleven Instruments - Septet (1953) Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: "A Night in Tunisia" -- Blue Note 84049-45 -- Another gem from the Music Matters 45 rpm reissue series. . |
A favorite listening partner, a glass of port and great music playing. Tonight in honor of the work of the great recording engineer, Marc Aubort: Ravel, "Valses nobles et sentimentales" - Skrowaczewski/MinnO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1004 Ravel, "Pavane pour une Infante Defunte" and "Le tombeau de Couperin" - Skrowaczewski/MinnO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1001 Gershwin, "Catfish Row Suite" [arranged by Gershwin from the music of "Porgy and Bess"] - Slatkin/StLouisSO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1005 Gershwin, "An American in Paris" - Slatkin/StLouisSO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1005 Great stuff!! With each side, my listening partner goes: "Oh, this sounds really good..." and for good reason. These are outstanding recordings, made even better by the outstanding remastering for Reference Recordings by Doug Sax. Read Michael Fremer's recently published interview with Marc Aubort, plus some good recording history: Elite Recordings: A Conversation With Freelance Recording Engineer Veteran Marc Aubort . |
The Radiators--Law of the Fish The Producers--The Producers Pete Fountain--Pete's Place The Black Keys--Thickfreakness Godspeed You Black Emperor--"Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven" The last on the list was something introduced to me a couple of months ago by a college student working at the local music/head shop a few hundred feet off the campus of Tulane University. I figured what the hell--I'll try it. It reminds me a little of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"--it is very mellow and flowing. What a great recommendation! I have listened to it about 10 times already and it gets better with each play. It is a double LP on Constellation Records out of Canada (cst012). It seems to be from the year 2000. Pepe |
