    @sd-tav said in What are you listening to now?:

    My favorite set is the one of all the symphonies played by the Boston Symphony conducted by Colin Davis.

    On your recommendation, I listened to #1, #2 and #5 today.

    I found #1 just a bit too "contrast-ey" for my taste. Davis's pauses seemed to interrupt the flow of the music.

    I'll continue this week.

    @george-k I’m comparing Bernstein’s Sibelius cycle with the NY Phil and later with the Vienna Phil. Quite a difference in the tone quality between these orchestras. I’ll post my impressions later.

      Mrs. George went shopping.

      I'm alone in the house, and I've got Gardiner's recording of the Beethoven #7 playing.

      Really loud.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Listen to the use of the pedal in the repeats. Also, how heavy-handed...

            Another one that's just too much.

            Not my style for Scarlatti.

              I've always enjoyed Chris Isaak's music. I was unaware that, about 9 years ago, he released an album called "Beyond the Sun" in which he covers some of the classic songs from the Sun Studios - "Pretty Woman," "I Walk The Line," and a host of others.

              I've not been able to find them on Spotify or Apple Music, but if you look around on Youtube, they're there.

              There's a playlist to the right - give it a shot, you geezers.

                                  What do you think of the Joe Pass?

                                  I'm humbled by his ability, which is clearly immense, but I've never really been able to connect with solo jazz guitar - there's just not enough tonal variety for me to listen to it on its own. As part of a bigger band, it's fine.

                                    Yeah, it's a bit difficult. His meanderings seem to be journeys away from the "tune" and I found myself wondering where the HELL he's going with it. When he gets back to the tune, it's almost a relief.

                                    It's almost like Art Tatum, but without as much coherence.
