stuff of dreams....3000 classical records inbound.

[Mike Lavigne]

5 that are great listens (if you can get your head around the music) and i'm sure cheap cheap to acquire. sonically all winners.

i took a month off after my push push to get my project done, just needed to be away from it to recover. but today walked over and grabbed 5 consecutive pressings on the shelf and am just finishing listening to all 5 all the way through. each one sounded excellent, fresh and new. before i had just briefly sampled each one of these.

fall started on Sunday and today it is suppose to rain all day. getting cooler outside. great time to listen to vinyl and get back to it.

--Peter Maxwell Davies---Vasalii Icones---for cello, small instrument group, and dancers. Nonesuch (Robert Ludwig mastered)
--Franz Danzi---3 Woodwind Quintets, Nonesuch
--The Play Of Daniel--Ludus Danielis, Nonesuch
--The Cozens Lute Book, Anthony Rooley, L'Oisea-Lyre
--Couperin, Trois Lecons deTenebres, Judith Nelson, Emma Kirkby, L'Oisea-Lyre

ok, after just doing a quick look at my 'B's, this is not anything i can do quickly. the name is followed by the number of pressings. i can say that in each case, these are records i want to listen to all the way through.

Frantisek Benda---2
Franz Berwald--2
Heinrich Biber--2 (had heard this name before)
William Boyce--3
Frank Bridge--4
William Byrd--12

Franz Berwald stands out enough to be curious if your gentleman scholar happened to collect this LSO / Sixten Ehrling LP that stands among my favorite recordings.

Very easy to get your head around compositions when placed against your recent explorations of early music.

Yes, got the London pressing version. Recall that I very much liked it from when I cleaned it.
