Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Stunned again tonight by how incredibly good this record is:

"Power of the Orchestra: Mussorgsky's Night on Bare Mountain and Pictures at an Exhibition," RCA VICS 2659 -45 (45 rpm reissue from Analogue Productions) (The Kenneth Wilkinson engineering is simply awe inspiring in this superb new 45 rpm mastering.)
.
Rushton-

That recording is on my shopping list.

Tonight:
Mahler "Symphony No. 2 in C minor "Resurrection"" Mehta/Vienna PO (Super Analogue Disc KIJC 9139/40 reissue of the original London)

David Gilmour "Live in Gdansk" (Columbia 88697344701 DC1) 5 LP set of 8/26/06 concert at the Gdansk shipyard in Poland

Wrapping the evening up with:
Bill Evans Trio "Moonbeams" (Riverside RLP-9428)
Rushton: I love most of your recordings. We could have a good time together listening. The Holst Savitri is a very interesting piece, and with Janet Baker how can you lose?
I have the Shostakovitch piano concerto on Chandos with the son conducting and the grandson playing the piano.A really fine LP even though it is a digital master. The ever popular FBR is always fun.Love "Joan of Arc. Though I prefer my original issue over the reissue. Of course that is IMHO.
Keep up the great listening and listing.

Emorrisiv, I agree that we seem to travel similar paths musically. It would be a lot of fun to get together and share some music. If you're ever near Richmond, Virginia, you have an open invitation to join me here! I think we will also find Slipknot1 traveling along many of the same roads with us.

Cheers!
New Dire Straits debut LP 180 gram remaster. Sounds very good but not sure I like it better than the Phonogram 1/2 speed remaster import from several years ago. Funny thing is that my Straits LP is 11.99 inches and not 12 inches in diameter. My VPI peripheral ring keeps falling off one edge of the record!

Also listening to:

Thelonius Monk - Something in Blue

The The - Mindbomb (great and underrated LP)

Elvis Costello - This Year's Model MFSL release
