From Musical Heritage Society 3290 A Very Special Night in the Seraglio

This is a collection of songs played on instruments from the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, many of which are scarcely in existence today. The Qanun, the keman, the tanbar, the kemantche, the nay, and of course, the oud. The music is traditional music from Turkey to Iran. I liked the kemantche, sort of an eastern cello sound.

Very special indeed S Clark. I'll have to take a lantern down into the basement and search through all the Musical Heritage lps for that one. Thanks for sending.

I just came in to cool off and I' listening to Philip Glass's soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi.

That's so sad and true and disturbing it's depressing.

Tchaikovsky - Philadelphia Orchestra, The, Riccardo Muti ‎– Suites From The Ballets: Swan Lake / Sleeping Beauty

One of the 1000 or so classical albums I pulled out of Bill's crackhouse in Allentown.

Untouched vinyl from the look of it.

Most pianists make a mess of Debussy's Etudes - they alternate boring and histrionic. Ohlsson on the other hand plays them very well indeed. Less flinty and more nuanced than anyone else I've heard. 24/96 is the way to go:

Holst / Sir Adrian Boult, New Philharmonia Orchestra, With Chorus ‎– The Planets

Put this on to see how the amp would handle Mars, it did fine.

But Venus showed me that the new tweeter not as 'expressive' as the original in other box.

How much break-in time do tweets need?

I ordered this set from Arkiv and received it yesterday. Lots of good interpretations to enjoy. I've got a lot of the music in this set in other formats and performers, but for about a buck a disc, I couldn't resist.

Brooklyn, tell us a bit about those recordings. I've often found Turnabout recordings to either be excellent, or horribly noisy with little in the middle. Phillips have been sort of in the middle of the quality spectrum. How are these lp's?
