Default LP finds yesterday

I had a gig up in Palo Alto yesterday, so I stopped by my favorite
Northern CA LP and stereo shop, The Analog Room in San Jose. So many
new LPs on display, I could have spent a bloody fortune. I settled on
6, new and used:

New:
Stacey Kent: Dreamsville Candid Records

I know that I'm not supposed to know about these things because I'm an
"ivory tower professor" at a "rural community college", but this is
GREAT female jazz vocal singing. And the recording is simply marvelous,
in a "singer and combo is in the room with you" kind of way. Very
highly recommended.

Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale and smaller works
Speaker's Corner/Mercury

Mendelssohn and Prokofiev Violin Concerti Heifetz/Munch/BSO
Classic Records/RCA

Prokofiev Lt. Kije and Stravinsky Nightingale (again)
Classic Records/RCA

Better than the original RCA and the Chesky reissue, I think.

Respighi The Birds Dorati/LSO
Speaker's Corner/Mercury

Used:

Kodaly and Bartok works Mercury Dorati/Philharmonia Hungarica

A decent copy of a fine recording, Side 1=great Side 2=fair

Berlioz Harold in Italy Munch/BSO

A pristine copy of a great record. Expensive but worth it.

A great day: making music and buying recordings! ;-)

Is that the same Mendelssohn as paired with the Beethoven? and the same
Prokofiev as on the Prokofiev/Glazunov/Sibelius? Anyway, some of those
are available on SACD in the original three-track.

I have several of these on junk vinyl. Heifetz might help me forget
Leila Josefowicz in the Beethoven (not bad, but not Heifetz).

Sorry Jenn but I have taken the liberty to edit your last
statement there :-) Otherwise when I stumble onto some of
my daughter's new Rap music (or some other total rubbish) it
is not so great and I usually end up regretting that I
actually found it ;-) I am sure others share a similar
opinion of styles they detest too.

Cheers TT

I like finding LPs. I seldom pay retail. I have too much fun finding
bargains. I found a 1/2 speed Journey in perfect shape about a month
ago. I paid $4 for it.

I had to adjust my turntable to play at 66-2/3. That was kind of a
hassle, but the LP was so cheap I did it anyway.

I note that treatment for mental conditions has been available for
much longer than CDs have been available. Ditto for various drugs that
help combat hallucinations. While they don't use it much, prefrontal
lobotomies have been around for a long time too.

I'd have to guess from the evidence that GOIA is an insanity bigot.

You obviously did not buy the LPs for the love of the music, because you
already have recordings of the music.

Idiots like Art are just another reason why RAO is known as the septic tank

Good point to bring, out on, loT"s. We've long known about the Krooborg's
all-consuming envy. We also know that he didn't invest in a good TT setup
before CDs came out because he couldn't find the dough.

It's sad to see a grown 'man' in the autumn of his life still consumed with
envy over trivialities like recorded music.

I had a gig up in Palo Alto yesterday, so I stopped by my
favorite Northern CA LP and stereo shop, The Analog Room
in San Jose.


LP Bigotry noted.

Impaired hearing and evangelical zeal about CDs noted! (Again!)


Available on both CD and SACD.

WHAT?!!!!! You are actually recommending a Hi-Rez format? Or was that a
typo?

It's the only way to get three-channel, but all that matters is that
it's not an lp.

New:

I know that I'm not supposed to know about these things
because I'm an "ivory tower professor" at a "rural
community college", but this is GREAT female jazz vocal
singing. �And the recording is simply marvelous, in a
"singer and combo is in the room with you" kind of way.
Very highly recommended.


Available on CD since no later than 2002

Stravinsky: �Song of the Nightingale and smaller works

Arnii, you should take a walk on the wild side of Detroit. You still have
your Discman from 1986, right? Pop in that tinny "Transformed" CD and
boogie 'till the spooks get you.

No meltdown. I note your glaring character flaws with objectivity.
For instance, if you look at your online behavior and couple it with
your religious beliefs, you can objective state that you are indeed
going to hell. Lying and bearing false witness are indeed sins, and I
seriously doubt you possess the self-awareness to go to church every
Sunday and pray for forgiveness for your activity here.

For instance, what would Jesus do in this thread? Would Jesus see a
group of individuals discussing a hobby with obvious enthusiasm, and
then descend on them and call them bigots? Or would he take joy in
the fact that these people are enjoying music and life, and pass them
by with a gentle smile and a nod?

Better yet, ask Susan and Pastor Matt what they would do in similar
circumstances. What would they say to you if they could read this
thread? Do you think they would approve? Do you think Jesus
approves? Or does Jesus weeps every time you show up in church and
declare yourself to be a Christian?

The real Jesus had a hard-on for hypocrites. The imaginary 'jee-zus' that
flits around Krazy Krooger's shredded 'mind' is a sculpture made of out
feces and energized by millions of lies.

Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale and smaller works
Speaker's Corner/Mercury

Mendelssohn and Prokofiev Violin Concerti Heifetz/Munch/BSO
Classic Records/RCA

Prokofiev Lt. Kije and Stravinsky Nightingale (again)
Classic Records/RCA

Better than the original RCA and the Chesky reissue, I think.

Respighi The Birds Dorati/LSO
Speaker's Corner/Mercury

Used:

Kodaly and Bartok works Mercury Dorati/Philharmonia Hungarica

A decent copy of a fine recording, Side 1=great Side 2=fair

Berlioz Harold in Italy Munch/BSO

A pristine copy of a great record. Expensive but worth it.

A great day: making music and buying recordings! ;-)


Anyway, as I was saying...

I spent last evening, my first available since getting these recordings,
carefully listening to one of them. I had a lot of time with the
Classic Records Prokofiev Lt. Kije. This is one of my favorite
recordings of all time. I have the original RCA, the really good Chesky
reissue, and all of the CD reissues. The two RCA CDs and the JVC
release are all quite good. I could easily live with them if I had to.
There is minimum "damage" to the instrumental timbres on each of these
CDs. But the current Classic Records issue is another matter all
together. This is the best of all of the recordings, IMO, and the best
Classic Records release that I've heard. It's a stunning recording.
Bud Herseth's solos are so believable. The string section, especially
the first violins, are incredible sounding in their timbres and their
stereo imaging. I believe that this is now my favorite recording in any
format that I've heard in my home.

It's most notable feature is the vocal soloist in the Prokofiev. IIRC,
the part is usually given to a saxophone.

Lord, an incorrect apostrophe. It must be the one missing from my other

I love Prokofiev, so i think I may have to check this out as well. Do
you have any favorite recordings of Romeo and Juliet? I've been
listening to my London CD of Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra for about 20 years, and I want to try something different. I
had an LP with Ozawa conducting for many years, but it was a very
condensed version with all of the selections out of order.

I love the Leinsdorf/L.A. Phil on Sheffield, both CD and LP. It's a
suite of excerpts, but in the right order, and about 40 min long. SUPER
playing on a recording made in the great old MGM soundstage.
Secondarily, I like Previn (though I usually don't on other things) and
the LSO on EMI.

Kodaly and Bartok works ?Mercury ?Dorati/Philharmonia Hungarica


A decent copy of a fine recording, Side 1=great ?Side 2=fair


Berlioz Harold in Italy ?Munch/BSO


A pristine copy of a great record. ?Expensive but worth it.


A great day: making music and buying recordings! ?;-)


Anyway, as I was saying...


I spent last evening, my first available since getting these
recordings,
carefully listening to one of them. ?I had a lot of time with the
Classic Records Prokofiev Lt. Kije. ?This is one of my favorite
recordings of all time. ?I have the original RCA, the really good
Chesky
reissue, and all of the CD reissues. ?The two RCA CDs and the JVC
release are all quite good. ?I could easily live with them if I had to.
?
There is minimum "damage" to the instrumental timbres on each of these
CDs. ?But the current Classic Records issue is another matter all
together. ?This is the best of all of the recordings, IMO, and the best
Classic Records release that I've heard. ?It's a stunning recording. ?
Bud Herseth's solos are so believable. ?The string section, especially
the first violins, are incredible sounding in their timbres and their
stereo imaging. ?I believe that this is now my favorite recording in
any
format that I've heard in my home.-


I love Prokofiev, so i think I may have to check this out as well. ?Do
you have any favorite recordings of Romeo and Juliet? ?I've been
listening to my London CD of Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra for about 20 years, and I want to try something different. I
had an LP with Ozawa conducting for many years, but it was a very
condensed version with all of the selections out of order.

I love the Leinsdorf/L.A. Phil on Sheffield, both CD and LP. ?It's a
suite of excerpts, but in the right order, and about 40 min long. ?SUPER
playing on a recording made in the great old MGM soundstage. ?
Secondarily, I like Previn (though I usually don't on other things) and
the LSO on EMI.


I'll look for it...thanks! How about the First Violin Concerto? I
have the one with Itzhak Perlman, which is really good, but my copy is
getting beat up. I'd like to hear another version.

Is that the one with Barenboim and the Chicago? That's an excellent
recording, IMO. I like Cho-Liang Lin with Solonen on Sony, but I REALLY
like (both for performance and sound) Shrah Chang with Rattle and the
Berlin on EMI. Just great.
