Sibelius, symphonies 3,4 and 5, yet again. Utterly sublime.

I always find myself mouthing along to the tune, and when I was at a live performance of the 3rd, I realised that so were two-thirds of the audience.

^^^ So am I, as of now. Best idea I've heard so far today.

Träume Wesendonck Lieder - Wagner

On Radio3 In Tune mixtape tonight. A new one for me. Superb though it was a male voice rather than female.
The Sea by Maya Youseff earlier was lovely too.

Hookworms. New faddy music for the youngsters. Actually very good psychpop type stuff that reminds me of the coral, cooper temple clause etc. And also probably older bands than that...

John Coltrane - a random playlist courtesy of Alexa. Can't beat a bit of bebop. Nice.

NOT listening to:
Nick Knowles, 'Every kind of people'

The comments on Amazon are nearly as good as those for Price and Andre.

The BBC Singers: Mendelssohn's arrangement of Bach's St Matthew Passion on Radio 3 tonight.

I thought I wouldn't like it, I thought I would think it was a bowdlerized version of something sublime but you know its really rather lovely if not historically accurate in any shape or form.

Daughter's A Hole in the Earth. Makes me tingle in all the good places.

Considering Music From Before the Storm is a soundtrack to a game it is an excellent album, and A Hole in the Earth is one of the highlights for sure. Elena Tonra has a beautiful voice. I listened to that in the car last night, and then Luciferian Towers by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (mentioned upthread by Mr Larrington). That GY!BE album gets better with every listen.

A recording of a recent performance of Wagner's Parsifal, from the Met.

I may be some time...

A pile of old cassette tapes that have been in a storage box in the loft for years. When the girl who is now Mrs Redlight was at uni, there was guy who must have had the hots for her as he made her a whole bunch of compilation tapes. Some of the tracks are pretty good. I only wish they were labelled as I haven't a clue who many of the artists are (and nor does she)

Hmm - that might be fun, although very time-consuming. Sometimes it's as much fun to continue in ignorance and wait for a random moment of revelation.

For example, the first time I heard Van Morrison's song "Moondance" was when I was about 18 and heard it played at a festival by an American fingerpicking guitarist named Dan Crary. He must have assumed everyone knew the song because he didn't introduce it, but I carried that tune in my head for another three years before a friend whose flat I was visiting put the original album on and I had a 'eureka' moment.

Monster Magnet. Loud and stupid. Perfect for a soggy March Thursday.

CD grabbed at random from my rack: Dvorak 7 and 8. Forgotten how delightful they are.

Supersonic Blues Machine - Californisoul

I had missed that they had released this second album. Its very good if you like their kind of thing. Has stellar guests like the first album.

A random selection of Quireboys tracks chosen by Alexa.

I remember them as being very Faces influenced but there's a lot of late 70s Stones in some of this stuff too.
A lot better than I had remember, should have been more successful than they were really.

Like a lot of their contemporaries, they were just getting in their stride when along came grunge...
