My wife likes the Josh Stone, "Mind Body and Soul" that I just bought.
Music Your Wife Will Really LISTEN To with you ?
It seems that many of us would like to have their wives/girlfriends/"significant others" more involved in the audiophile experience. To that end, I thought it might be interesting to compare notes on what pieces / types of music that we find they will actually sit back and REALLY LISTEN to in an "audiophile" kind of way. Maybe we can seduce our wives to come sit with us on the couch and listen a little bit more. And who knows where that could lead...
Here's a few that I recall my wife being wowed by, and some NOT wowed by, in no particular order:
Glenn Gould - Moonlight, Appassionata sonatas - but NOT Goldberg Variations.
Pink Floyd - The Wall (not all 4 sides at once) but NOT Dark Side of the Moon.
Carlos Kleiber conducting of Beethoven's Fifth
Supertramp - Crime of the Century, Side 1
Ry Cooder - Jazz
HOFFERT Concerto for Contemporary Violin - Steven Staryk on Ultrafi Records
Joe Sample - Swing Street Cafe
Living Presence lp's more than Living Stereo lp's
Elton John - Funeral For a Friend from Yellow Brick Road (played loud with lights down).
Gershwin's Fascinating Rhythms - Clive Lythgoe
Glenn Miller - In A Digital Mood
Joan Baez - The First Ten Years
Nancy Griffith - Other Voices, Other Rooms
Bizet/Shchedrin: Carmen Ballet conducted by Arthur Fiedler
Well that's a start anyway. I'd like to hear your success stories.
