What are you listening to now?

@renauda I agree 100%!

My former teacher studied along side of Martha in Italy under Michelangeli. He considered Martha a good friend and spent quite a bit of time with her and her family. That fact still gives me chills when I think about it. That I was so fortunate to have studied with him.

[Renauda]

Wow!

Which reminds me did you have a chance to watch that documentary on Martha and her family I linked?

[mark]

I have not yet. I will get to it.

@mark

I imagine you would appreciate it.

It’s a really well done documentary.

I have to VPN into Canada to watch it. Not sure I can watch the entire 1.5 hours tonight. I have to get up and drive to Pennsylvania in the morning.

Rick Beato interviewed this delightful young lady recently. Makes me want to learn bass guitar.

Best comment: Even the guitar blushed and asked him for his number afterwards.

Yunchan Lim The Goldberg Variations Live at Carnegie Hall. I ordered this not realizing that it would come in what is essentially a hardcover 46 page book full of wonderful photos, quotes, and multilingual write-ups about this young pianist.

It's a double LP that is expertly mastered with a very good, silent, dark background free of surface noise. Meticulously produced. A little static on rare occasions, but that is easily rectified and is mostly due to the dry nature of this season.

I must say that he does an excellent performance of the Goldberg Variations.

I have heard just about every recording ever made of the Goldberg Variations and this one definitely stands out as one of the best I have heard.

Mark - agree - a very fine performance.
