Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off today’s exercise routine and continuing on with Mary Chapin Carpenter and release from this past August and she and the band are sounding sublime! I have loved her music throughout her career and have been fortunate to see her perform on a number of occasions.

The original Black Uhuru Black Sounds Of Freedom LP
Produced by Jammy when he was still Prince
Frédéric Chopin / Felix Mendelssohn, Cello Sonatas. Janos Starker, cello; Gyorgy Sebok, piano. Mercury Living Presence LP (Speakers Corner reissue).
This LP features two very interesting cello sonatas: Chopin’s in G minor op. 65 was his last work to be published during his lifetime; it’s also one of the very few works he composed for instruments other than the piano. As for Mendelssohn’s No. 2 in D major, its interest lies first and foremost on the extended use of counterpoint, a by-product of Mendelssohn’s passion for Bach’s music.
Interpretation is first class: Janos Starker is generally recognized as one of the best cellists of all time. A child prodigy, he started teaching cello at the age of 8! Gyorgy Sebok and him played together for years.
Sound quality of the Mercury Presence / Speakers Corner reissue is excellent. It may sound a little too laid back for some, but to me that’s exactly how chamber music should be recorded.
