Vicente Gomez... as a child played in bars and brothels around Granada, discovered and sponsored by A. Rubenstein in Madrid...after various tours ended up writing and performing in movie scores. This one is the "Blood Wedding Suite".

Orfeo ed Euridice- La Petite Bande with the Collegium Vocale (Accent). If Harry Pearson and I were listening to this and I said, "Harry, name a digital recording that sounds this perfect". He wouldn't even look at me for being transfixed to the music, he would simply say, "you know better than that". Or, he might just say, "please, hush".

Cavalleria Rusticana (Mascagni) and I Pagliaggi (Leoncavallo)- Teatro Alla Scala, Von Karajan conducting (DG). The vocals are a little spotlit but the way the orchestra is recorded is positively supreme. I mean it.

Know what chaps my you know what? Try finding a copy. In analog.

Know what else? Know why digital can't recreate the recorded event and space as naturally as analog? Cause bits are bits and have to be resolved. Analog is vibration. And vibration is life uncurling.

Vivaldi: Le Quattro Stagioni
Kuijken, La Petite Bande

Recording engineer Teije van Geest made this recording with two close pairs of microphones,
two directionals and two omnis for ambience(pic)

You "see" what you hear - all analogue of course ...

I'm sure Harry Pearson has a copy ...

Nighthawks at the Diner- Tom Waits (Asylum). "Eggs and sausage, coffee and a roll. Just thought I'd drop in and join the crowd . . had some time to kill". Sit down, man, and talk to me. I won't tell anybody.

One of my desert island records. The cd is good but the lp is amazing. More depth, more presence, new levels of detail, more life! I just learned it had ever been pressed on vinyl about a year ago and I've been trying to track down a copy ever since. I got this one for a king's ransom from Italy. It is worth it.

And some other ladies . .

Joan Baez- Diamonds and Rust (A&M)
Jennifer Warnes- FBR (Cypress Records)
Joni Mitchell- Blue (WB)*
and Laura Nyro- Smile (Columbia)**

*the most romantic and beautiful illustrationist in music of her history and impressionist of ours (to me) over frickin four decades.

** The guts of this little angel. Richard Davis, David Friedman, the Brecker's, and how they support her justs slays me. Their accompaniment and more in this album is testimony to her daring reach and to whoever or whatever was guiding her. I admire this album, and this pretty artist, heartfully.

I been busy tonite, most nights listening to records since I got a rack up in my room (

IKEA) but don't let me be a boor . . thank you. Hurry up and post something!
