Townes van Zandt's first album, inspired, like a lot of recent listening by True Detective

Saw him live at a pub in York years ago. A genius song writer.

Waking myself up with strong coffee and a bit of Led Zeppelin - first Physical Graffiti, then Led Zep IV.

Radio 2: Sounds of the Sixties with Brian Mathews

It's the Classic FM annual hall of fame and they've got to the top four; no.4 is Beethoven's "Emperor" piano concerto, which is deservedly there (if only for the few bars in the last movement when it unexpectedly goes all baroque). The tedious Mozart clarinet concerto has already been and gone, thank goodness. Suspect no.1 will be Rachmaninov's no.2 piano concerto (the Brief Encounter/All By Myself one) or one of Vaughan Williams' pastoral efforts. I don't think they've had Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis (the Master and Commander one) or The Lark Ascending yet.

I thought The Lark Ascending got in every time?

rogerzilla · « **Reply #4256 on:** 21 April, 2014, 08:01:04 pm »

Nah, Mozart's clarinet concerto has won, as has Rachmaninov's no.2. The Fantasia is much better than the Lark anyway IMO.

Ah...that bloody lark again

Last no.1 in 2010.

The only winners since inception have been The Lark Ascending, Rachmaninov's no.2 piano, Bruch's no.1 violin (can be excellent dependiing on the soloist, as it contains a bit of improvisation) and the only Mozart piece I don't like, the clarinet concerto.

I am baking, so I am listening to George Michael's Ladies and Gentlemen, (For the Feet). Sometimes when I bake I listen to ABBA or Stevie Wonder, but it's usually George.

Whilst building TLDs bike I was listening to The Go Team then swapped to the best Unplugged album ever made, that being the one by Nirvana.

A colleague has put me on to Karl Jenkins 'The Armed Man', a piece I had never heard before. Currently listening to a poor youtube recording but even that is stunning.

Before I YouTube that DM, can you put a genre on that piece for me?

Hocus Pocus – (Best of) Focus. The intricate guitar, the Hammond organ, the yodelling. What, as they say, is not to like? Well, the yodelling obviously.

Rodrigo y Gabrielas new LP more of the same but maybe a touch less frenetic in places . I like.

I've just been dabbing tears of joy and pride from my eyes while watching/listening to the opening seven minutes of last Saturday's performance of Rachmaninov's Vespers, feat. Mrs R on the alto line: http://youtu.be/kZB4P7l90Wg
