Fink - Hard Believer
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… continuing on this afternoon as I start up today’s exercise period with some background music from this double CD set of Fink’s Hard Believer! It has not been out for a spin for some time and a mention above from @adeypoos had me place in the queue. Fink and the band are sounding sublime!
Is it a song about Scrabble?
Try it, bloody good country album (maybe not, poppier at the start, Anastacia like), at least from that track - a song of revenge…my daughter mentioned it.
Mrs AC has just listened and told me her version would be putting my Naim kit in the bath. 
Will do 
If you look at her discography and cover art, that looks like one where the record company wanted mainstream and were pushing sexiness, shed does a lot of gospel I think, but can’t be sure as I’ve only heard about her tonight, but heck how album art can sell or potentially be exploitative.

Schumann - Humoreske / Piano Sonata in F Sharp Minor / Angela Hewitt
Headphones on, easing out of today, looking forward to a Good Friday - this will do it very nicely.
Last listening of the evening…
A new release of an old (2009) recording that he ‘kept secret for a long while”. In his words
I remember how I had to squeeze the music out of the grand piano in the Graz sessions, and while I enjoy listening to it now, I kept these recordings secret for a good while – they sound like a much younger version of myself to me, and a lot of the musical expressions from that time would be impossible for me to replicate today
Not heard him before, but it won’t be the last time this gets played.
Nils Frahm - Graz

Anouar Brahem - Souvenance: Music for Oud, Quartet and String Orchestra
Anouar Brahem (Oud), François Couturier (Piano), Klaus Gesing (Bass Clarinet), Björn Meyer (Bass) and Pietro Mianiti (Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on into the mid to late afternoon hour with one of my favorite albums from Anouar. It is simply a beautiful album written in time of, as the album description states, “The music of Souvenance, by turns graceful, hypnotic, and taut and starkly dramatic, was recorded in 2014 – six years after oud-master Anouar Brahem’s last ECM album, “The Astounding Eyes of Rita”. "
I truly love this album and it is sounding sublime!
Ry Cooder & V.M.Bhatt - A Meeting by the River CD Rip
