Whats on your turntable tonight?

Chamber music this afternoon!

Mendelsohn and Schubert Piano Trios #1 - Previn, Kyung Wha Chung, Tortelier - EMI 065 03667

William Walton and Elizabeth Maconchy String Quartets - Alberni String Quartet - Argo ZRG 5329
.

You have good taste Rushton, Haven't heard the Argo, but music doesn't get any better than EMI 065 03667 !

eddie floyd, big bird--mindbogglingly great r&b tune from the curiously underrecognized singer/songwriter (he wrote "knock on wood" and many others)
elvis perkins, ash wednesday--tony's son; very talented; unusually structured folk-rock with dark lyrics; sorta hypnotic

Schubert, if you find any enjoyment in 20th century composers, Elizabeth Maconchy is well work seeking out. These quartets by Walton and Maconchy are simply scrumptious.

This morning: Mozart Piano Concertos #14-19 with Peter Serkin and the English Chamber Orchestra, RCA ARL3 0732.

And now moving on to Smokey Babe (Robert Brown) on Arhoolie 548. Recorded by Harry Oster in 1960/1961. Just superb blues.
