mikeymad Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 The Wigmore Hall Recital by Antônio Meneses (2013) https://open.qobuz.com/album/rt6bp6hxqcjgb Example: A pretty and mostly mellow listen and then there was this powerhouse of a Brahms work. Very symphonic for just a piano and cello. 3
jose Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Magnus Öström "Thread of Life" (Drummer E.S.T.) Every time I listen to this album... I get goosebumps. Especially "Longing". It gradually builds in intensity, the final minutes.... ufffff a masterpiece. And then; Dan and Magnus together again... 4
blessingx Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Have listened to this four times in the last 48. Cluster & Eno's Cluster & Eno. 2 1
mikeymad Posted May 18 Report Posted May 18 Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20 & 21 by Friedrich Gulda (1975) https://open.qobuz.com/album/fp84x72ff06ca Example (One I could find): I have been checking out Gulda's work recently, including some of his jazz work. This is very nice, I may not agree with all of his choices, but with Abbado and the Weiner/Vienna behind you it is hard to stray too far. Also being some of my favorite works does not hurt. The 1975 recording is a little thin, but not in a distracting way. The 24/192 on qobuz helps as well. 2 1

(since it is your birthday). --Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man, Appalachian Spring & Symphony No. 3 by Minnesota Orchestra (2012) https://open.qobuz.com/album/ip2njewvqsrsa I do wish for a high bitrate, but the performance and recording are first rate. 1

blessingx Posted May 23 Report Posted May 23 Every 3-4 years I listen to Paul Simon's The Rhythm of the Saints, and with apologies to Graceland which I love, but has never quite resonated the same, think it's international mix fills a hole no other album does or likely ever will. I'll listen to a dozen or so times in quick succession and promptly stop again. Two times today... so far. Maybe you will find a love That you discover accidentally Who falls against you gently As a pickpocket Brushes your thigh Further to fly 8
mikeymad Posted May 23 Report Posted May 23 I had her new album in my queue and then this showed up. so Let X=X by Laurie Anderson (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/syta310h4wo50 Example - Just the album opener: Always a treat to have more Laurie. 2 1
robm321 Posted May 24 Report Posted May 24 Hard to believe this came out in 1972. It still seems ahead of its time in 2026. Ex. 6 1

jose Posted May 26 Report Posted May 26 I have to admit I prefer Magnus Öström's style but last night I started reviewing Dan Berglund's discography with Tonbrucket. Then, I felt the need to put on this vinyl: an old friend of this thread but for me it is still magical. 6
mikeymad Posted May 26 Report Posted May 26 Because reasons... Speaking of friends of the thread. Way Out West by Sonny Rollins (1957) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0088807201473 Example: My first Sonny album I purchased, heavy vinyl from 1992 Analogue Productions. Always stuck. And lives in my queue rent free. I looked and I had three others in my queue, so they just moved to the top. RIP Sonny... 'n thx... 7 1

As a diehard KJ fan, I have my "more favourite" and "less favourite" solo piano concert albums of his. I will have to revisit some of them now, thanks for the unintended rec! 2
jose Posted May 27 Report Posted May 27 Today my postman left this in my mailbox... I took the opportunity to listen to it and get some sleep. These guys from Gondwana usually have a lot of artists that I love. Jasmine Myra "Where Light Settles" 5

robm321 Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 I'm finally getting around to listening to Sonny Rollins. We've been at the lake house for a few weeks. Will listen to, Way Out West, when I get back to my vinyl rig. Till then, Qobuz will have to suffice. 7
