You can recommend much faster than I can listen to it. So I’m working my way up from the bottom and not neglecting the other genres. I’m afraid this method leaves me with some gaps despite top recommendations from you as well. Today Ruby gave me a rediscovery and a new discovery almost simultaneously.
We got the recommendation fever because we know there are so many music lovers out there in our community and some dare to contribute for the first time.
I only had one recommendation today, which I stopped before the second song, not because it wasn’t a good recommendation, it just didn’t fit my taste in music.
This follows on well from the Haydn @Andreas_Philipp1 posted earlier.
Kraus was follower of Haydn. Interestingly Haydn admired and respected him as a composer. The allmusic bio of Kraus found within Roon is a good read.
I’m liking this from the Academy of Ancient Music.
It’s mentioned within the following article. It’s shame that Gramophone push Apple Music and not Qobuz or Tidal. It wasn’t easy to find with Roon, due to the poor metadata.
On Milky Clear Vinyl.
Just pre-ordered and was about to post.
It would seem rude not to! (pre-order - that is.)
I agree with Allmusic’s reviewer that here we have one of the best recorded versions of the beautiful and sensuous six Gautier poems set to music by Héctor Berlioz. Karen Cargill really is breathtaking with this repertoire, and that Robin Ticciati’s Scottish Chamber Orchestra may be somewhat underpowered or too ‘light’ for this music doesn’t really matter at all… this is only about Miss Cargill’s wonderful singing, without having to strain herself too much in order to not be overpowered by a full-sized orchestra. The balance is right, the playing is sensible and the singing is pure, sensuous and gorgeous gold. Very much recommended!!
Just black vinyl.
Not an artist that I’m particularly familiar with but decided to give his latest album a spin tonight. Glad that I did. It’s awash with 80s synths, but at it’s heart, it’s a wonderfully confessional work. Genuinely engaging.
EDIT: Wow, this is really good. It’s sliding up my “albums of 2021” list.
