Whats on your turntable tonight?

For tonight's listening:

Shostakovitch Symphony #1,"The age of Gold" RCA/ Martinon LSO
original 1959 pressing and quite extraordinary.

J.S. Bach "Magnificat" Proprius just arrived from Sweden.Typical Proprius;wonderful, but I like the Kings College reading better.

Sphere "Flight Path" Elektra Musician
If you have never heard this LP you owe it to yourself to find one and try it. Amazing recording by T.Monk's old mates.

Pelleas et Melisande collection Phillips/Zinman/Rotterdam phil.
A box set of incidental music for the famous play/opera. Sebelius,Faure,Schoenberg. The Faure is a particular favorite of mine and this LP has the rarely recorded soprano solo sung by Jil Gomez.Sublime

cheers

Sit: A friend went to see the current Yardbirds with McCarty and Dreja in concert yesterday and gave a very good report -- and he's not even a particularly big fan who owns the old records like I do (I'd planned to attend with him, but unfortunately wound up unable to make it).

Led Zeppelin - II Japanese Promo copy - WOW, best pressing I have ever heard. Like brand new too. I'm sorry I bought it, now that's all I want to buy is these super expensive Japanese pressings.

The Beatles - Beatles Forever (Hey Jude) another sublime Japanese pressing. It was worth the money.

Frank Sinatra - Live in Paris (MFSL) my first Frank on vinyl, a great place to start

Madeliene Peyroux - Bare Bones (MFSL) not my fav album of hers, but still better than most

"The Wall" - Pink Floyd

"Laudate II - Baroque music from the Duben Collection" - DrottingholmBarEns, UppsalaAcKammarkor, Anne-Sophie von Otter - Proprius PROP 7860 (a prize among all of my Baroque music LPs with a young and incomparable Anne-Sophie von Otter)
.

I'm listening to some recent acquisitions tonight:

Dire Straits - Dire Straits
Mink DeVille - Return to Magenta
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
David Bowie - Hunky Dory
Spencer Davis Group - Very Best Of...
Dr. John - Gris Gris
Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle
