Listened to this today for the first time after noting it had been awarded the album of the week in The Sunday Times.

A very fine album indeed and I’m sure it will grow on me more after further listens.

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… while finishing up today’s exercise routine I am continuing on through the noon hour with Arilid and this fantastic quartet and they are sounding mighty sweet!

In terms of song choice, presentation, packaging and sound, this has to be the best Nancy Sinatra compilation ever…

This is fun:

Evening Dave, yes it’s a cracker. I always enjoyed it more when the mags actually featured singular artists on a freebie, instead of those " tribute " ones where many acts murdered popular songs by somebody featured in the mag that month.

Malia and Boris Blank - Convergence

Streaming on NAS (44.1/16)… returning home from an afternoon shopping with the wife for vegetables at a local Seattle Tilth for vegetable starts to plant in the garden and returned home with a tray of assorted goodies. She happily headed for the garden to get to work and I headed to the living room for some ‘Malia & Boris’ and they are sounding sublime! …it has been awhile since I have had this album out for a spin and with a little lift in the volume Malia voice is sounding even better.

Excellent choice. I also have the Speakers Corner LP and it’s just wonderful.

Arcangelo Corelli, Concerti Grossi, op. 6. The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock harpsichord and conductor. Archiv Double CD.

Altough Arcangelo Corelli published relatively few works as compared with other Baroque composers like Bach, Vivaldi or Telemann, he was very famous in his lifetime and is generally recognized as the father of the modern violin technique. His concerti grossi op. 6 (published after his death) are famous, in particular the no 8 in G minor “Christmas Concerto”.

This 1987 recording from Trevor Pinnock and his English Concert is the only version I have, mostly because recordings of the whole work are somewhat rare… and because I just never felt the need to get another one. The Archiv recording is exceptional for what I call the “early digital” era, without the annoying highs of many recordings of the time.
