Spinning this again as I enjoyed it earlier in the week

Mozart
Piano Concertos
Jeno Jando
Andras Ligeti, Concentus Hungaricus
Digitally Recorded in May and June 1989

I am not a big aficionado of Classic Music but I am still enjoying this wonderful CD while I am sorting my Vinyl collection….again. It is almost done and there will be room for another dozens of records

The CD is part of a 5CD set from 1997 which I bought for 15 DM or so. As time goes by. Nothing for audiophile Classic Lovers but the Piano Player here is really good.

Sad news today. His voice on some of the old albums is stunning. This one recorded only a few years after he had been serving in WWII, Boulevard of Broken Dreams my favourite from 1950.

Just downloaded 1st listening…

I’ve just re-read that, excellent review Dave, I really should pay more attention to who plays at The Barbican.

AlanP · July 21, 2023, 4:25pm

Joining in with the Tony Bennett appreciation

The Beat Of My Heart, this must have been so cool at the time, nice concept with some excellent percussionists.

Loving on Vinyl

IainO · July 21, 2023, 4:56pm

Discovered this artist recently with this release, she has a few albums in back catalogue too.

The collaboration with Waxahatchee is decent.

ewemon · July 21, 2023, 5:21pm

3 trax due out 8th Nov.
Video is first trax released off the album.

patk · July 21, 2023, 5:28pm

Hi @IainO. Thanks. I first heard her on the Waxahatchee collaboration, then went through her back catalog. Good stuff.

Best,

Cool deck!

I was at college when this was released, a flatmate played it to death, I hated it.
I bought it a few years ago on vinyl and I love it, stand out tracks for me ‘I am the Law’ and ‘Seconds’

Alley_Cat · July 21, 2023, 5:45pm

Entirely agree, they are superb tracks but probably wouldn’t have worked as singles.

Thanks for reminding me as I’ve moved away from some albums I’ve probably played hundreds of times but need to revisit Dare.

Alley_Cat · July 21, 2023, 5:46pm

Rolling around with laughter!

Ripley · July 21, 2023, 5:47pm

Probably one of my top ten favourite albums, “Matty Groves” and “The Deserter” stand out tracks.

Alley_Cat · July 21, 2023, 5:51pm

How on earth do the music companies mess up the artwork so often?

Only one of these looks true to the album cover.
