Yesterday's listen's - and this morning. 

Tiny Things

Tiny Things
by Tiny Habits (2023)

https://album.link/zhq9tcbphnd6p

Example:

More of an EP at just under 19 minutes. A good listen, they play a strong harmony game, and they play it well. It was not quite what I expected from the album cover, but rewarding on multiple listenings.

and

More Alfred...

Schubert: Piano Quintet - "Trout"
by Cleveland Quartet (1978)

There are a few more in my queue, but you get the idea...

Words Fall Short

Words Fall Short
by Joshua Redman (2025)

https://album.link/jhxqg6xc93kz7

Example:

Second Blue Note release, instrumental with the exception Gabrielle returns for the final track. This is going on the high rotation playlist. Playing with full confidence on this set, and they are playing tight together. Worthy Blue Note release, and the sonics match.

My priorities and listening queue are out of whack... 

Finally

Arcadia

Full of audio treats.

Piazzolla, A.: Suite Punta Del Este / Bragato, J.: Graciela Y Buenos Aires / Arizaga, R.: Passacaglia

Piazzolla, A.: Suite Punta Del Este / Bragato, J.: Graciela Y Buenos Aires / Arizaga, R.: Passacaglia
by Camerata Bariloche (1994)

https://album.link/8gdjrv5h0tsx7

Example:

This was a staple in my high end listening for a long time. I just happen to think about it the other day. It took a little bit to find it on Qubuz, happy I did. I do miss Dorian Recordings, they were a reliable brand back in the day.

Edit: forgot to add that it is good on a warm day.

I love Piazzolla, and was just starting to listen to some Nuevo Tango (or Tango Nuevo, I don't know which is more correct) the other day, but not familiar with that recording.  Thanks for the rec.

The Secret Of Life: Partners, Volume 2

The Secret Of Life: Partners, Volume 2
by Barbra Streisand (2025)

https://album.link/vjjdhqmm20qzk

Example:

So I thought I would give the new Barbara drop a listen. Mainly because the Album cover photo scared me a little bit (creepy no?). 

I am not mad at it, but there isn't anything really there as well.  A series of 'nice' tunes and 'nice' production. Along with creepy love songs with Sam Smith and the like. 

 

What I didn't expect was the Credits --- This for ONE song!  And the entire album is like this. Crazy:

This is lovely.  And even I can hear what a clear recording this is.

Earlier today:

Mozart

Mozart
by Andrè Schuen (2025)

https://album.link/zc3gjd890sm4w

Example:

 

Released today - I usually don't go in for much choral/opera recordings other than full operas. But I thought I would give this a try and was very happy I did. Mostly selections of Figaro and Don Giovanni, along with a few others. The performance is good, and the recording is impeccable. When the hour was over, I wanted more, good testament to the album.
