What are you listening to? (Music)

[James]

Interesting, I listened to the short sample, it sounds like a performance (and recording), with good dynamic. I love that in music, got to explore this more.

Thanks for sharing!

If you liked that, you might like a performance on a modern piano even more - they have a broader dynamic range:

Album Schubert: Piano Sonata D568; 6 Moments musicaux , Franz Schubert by Mitsuko Uchida | Qobuz: download and streaming in high quality

She takes more liberties with tempo, but is arguably more expressive.

Also, for great dynamics, you might check out Beethoven symphonies:

Album Bruno Walter Conducts Beethoven , Ludwig van Beethoven by Bruno Walter | Qobuz: download and streaming in high quality

Walter makes Beethoven sound more beautiful than Beethoven probably intended, I think. And musicians loved working with him.

Tears for Fears: Rivers of Mercy
Bill Frisell: East/West Album
Julian Lage: Love Hurts

More Keola Beamer last night:

The new Jack White record "Fear of the Dawn" is his most consistent effort in a long while. All of his records have great songs, but this is the first one I've heard with no filler tracks that I want to skip over. Sounds great on my Sierra 2EX's as well!

Last night I listened to Harold Budd:

Album The Room, Harold Budd | Qobuz: download and streaming in high quality

I hadn't heard of him - he's apparently a pretty well-known minimalist/ambient composer who worked with Brian Eno, among others.

If you don't like that genre, you won't like this. I found it interesting, and will listen to more of his stuff.

Lee Ritenour: Rhythm Sessions

[PersonalTriumph]

I always operated the assumption that REM made a couple interesting records in the 80s then turned into whiny sellout beyatches. The other day I saw their record "New Adventures in Hifi" recommended over and over in a 90s music thread on another forum.

Gotta say...it's pretty damn good. Been listening to it ever since.

Last night Horace Parlan:

Album Musically Yours, Horace Parlan | Qobuz: download and streaming in high quality

One of my favorite jazz piano recordings.

Bill Frisell: East/West Album

I am really loving this one.
