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.

@Horace Well that was different. I am wondering how you came across that. 555

Did you notice the crushed corners of the book? It was delivered that way. I sent photos of it to DECCA and they are replacing it no questions asked. They didn't even ask for me to return this one. I will wait to see if they include a pre-paid return address label before I gift this one to my audiophile buddy.

Symphony No. 1 for Orchestra and Organ, Opus 42 by Felix-Alexandre Guilmant

Paul Jacobs played at the local music hall last week. I never heard of Guilmant before.

He's still got it. Pretty cool guitar solo midway through too.
