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! ;-) |

Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale and smaller works Speaker's Corner/Mercury Mendelssohn and Prokofiev Violin Concerti Heifetz/Munch/BSO Classic Records/RCA 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). 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 I like these pieces.

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.

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. |

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. |

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? Boon |

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. |

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! ;-) 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. |
