What are you listening to in 2024 and why might anyone be interested?

The In Tune Mixtape on BBC R3 FM.

It follows In Tune where the Rev Lucy Winkett discussed the liturgy and music of Holy Week. There was something for Leonard Cohen fans, too, I think, in the Liszt with which the programme ended.

Roxy Music
For Your Pleasure
Island first press 1973.

I pretty much lost all interest in Roxy after Eno left and the band increasingly became MOR wallpaper. Their first two albums, though…:ok_hand:t3:

I love Simone Menezes – a great conductor with vision. I worked with her a couple of times in 2021-2 and she is a lovely person too.

Glass as in Phil I guess, Kev?
I’ll have to look this one up, ta.

I’ve liked the quality of the Alpha releases I’ve heard…yet to hear a poor one.

It’s been a weird month all round, so seeing the Yoko exhib would be a real tonic…as will seeing Ese in April! Been too damn long.

Garry Naxos are a great label and superb value for money aren’t they for classical.
If they where a hifi company they would be Rega
Chandos and Decca are great for CDs and Deutche Grammophone and EMI are always very well recorded.
Wishing you a relaxing Easter
Best wishes Ian

Excellent series. I remember one particular observation by I think Elliot on growing up. He said he never did ( grow up) until the day he lost his Father. Something about always having someone to refer problems to.
