What Classical are you spinning?

Karajan & Anne-Sophie Mutter with Berlin Philharmonic - Mozart - Violin Concerto2 No. 3 & No. 5

Lucile Boulanger - Bach & Abel: Solo

Current listening - -

One of the great ones, Holst The Planets, Zubin Mehta Los Angeles Philharmonic.

This lacks fidelity but who cares when playing like this is captured.

so smoooth cello! with Piano

Perfecto Relaxing!

One of my favorite discovery this year

Old-fashioned process for the recording

An excellent performance of this Mozart masterpiece.

Still viable and playing Birdland in November. Those in NYC may want to check it out.

As far as releases, not much since 2021’s Data Lords, which I couldn’t relate to and can’t recommend. Since Data Lords a 2024 30 year anniversary compliation triple LP, and recently a CD-EP, three tracks, American Crow.

BTW, this most recent tariff announcement sucks.

Maria Schneider Orchestra

From a a Shostakovich symphony cycle I find to beat.

very talented pianist new generation

A composer new to me, a fresh perspective on a familiar masterpiece, and three superb musicians working together. And all in a lovely Pure DSD256 recording. That’s a very satisfying combination.
