Chic : ' Good Times '

Currently having an Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) renaissance: "Livin' Thing" by ELO...

[Pop music that actually contains modulations...]

Stick "Mr Blue Sky" on next!

Then 'Confusion'

Palestrina on BBC Four. Then it's switch off the computer and settle down for a night of Top of the Pops nostalgia

Oh gosh, that was all goooood stuff!!!!!!!

Listening to the Hollies on Pick of the Pops now

Zorg, One Night in Monte Carlo

The Beatles, The Ballad of John and Yoko.

Ah. Brilliant. I remember the B side too. "Old Brown Shoe". Fantastic.

Brilliant indeed. When the Bootlegs perform it I start being very embarrassing and bounce up and down, squeaking, when it's announced..

'Turn the Music Up' (12") : The Players Association

Didn't like the play on radio 3 so we turned it off and reached for the pile of CDs.

I bought a double CD of Pierre Cochereau playing French organ music (icluding his own) in our local charity shop (who "don't accept classical discs" as I was told when I tried to take in some LPs) I had heard him live in a theatre years ago in an all-improvisation concert.

This is so different from any organ disc I've ever listened to before - not really a fanatic - and it's stunning. The Notre Dame sound and style is such a world away from Bach

The Human League, Mirror Man

Soft Cell - Where Did Our Love Go?

FAB!

The joy of the iPod shufffffffffffffllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee................

80's-Bag (BIIIIIG Hair....) x

Elgar-Cello Concerto in E Minor

We're playing it in orchestra, it's just gorgeous

The wonderful Bobby McFerrin - this was new to me...mesmerising and beautiful...(he sings all the parts)...

What a clever guy! A big fan here

Seconded. Thirded, fourthed and fifthed as well!
He's on my Dream Dinner Party list

I mean, any guy who can do this

AND don't worry, be happy

cuts anyone's delusions of grandeur down to size

PS Had to LOL at one of the comments on the Air on a G String, where someone said "I first read that as Yo Mama!"

Schnittke - String Quartet No.3

Top of the Pops with Noel Edmonds : 8/4/1976

Debussy- Nocturnes, am on Fetes at the moment. All three are such great pieces, I genuinely don't have a favourite!

have just listened to Holst's Planets suite for the the first time in my life (with the exception of Mars and the famous fragments of Jupiter). Feel quite bad for being in my final year of university and never having heard it before... I definitely like though. Neptune especially is just something else

Dmaathen by Xenakis played by New Noise.

Matthew playing the ****** organ!!! It's nearly midnight.

Found a nice Clarinet duet album on Spotify.

Not sure about the Poulenc....

I've got that. It's rock hard...

I won't offer to duet with you on that then....
It's different. maybe one of those things that could be fun if you could manage to play it?

Yes. It's a more fun play than the single clarinet sonata, in my opinion. It's for a Bb and an A clari : the A part is somewhat easier than the Bb one...

I'll listen to it some more some time I think.

Good plan!

I'm being trained...

Glad to hear it!

Don Jaun By Strauss.

First time I've heard it, I got the shivers.

Cello sonata No 1 by Brahms.

Stephen Micus, Bold as Light

Brahms' German Requiem on CFM

Watching Don Giovanni...it's good!

Valentina Lisitsa


Which version?

Birdsong outside my open window.

The Average White Band : 'Let's Go Round Again'

James Galway and Kazuhito Y a m a s h i t a (sorry, it won't accept it typed normally!)
"Italian Serenade"
Just love listening to flute, amongst others

Bryn Trifle (or whatever) singing Wotan in Die Walkure at The Met.

Sea Pictures - classic recording with Janet Baker.

Jacques Loussier's Play Bach - absolutely SUBLIME!



Bx

I think I have the LP somewhere!

You going to hear Red Priest at the end of June?

Dunno - maybe if not too trashed after a long day's teaching. Have mentioned it to Top Tottie...

Red-Bag x

Bach's concerto for violin & oboe in D minor

I am listening to a remix of Nusrat fateh Ali Khan by Massive Attack... awesome!

The recording of my Dip programme from my lesson last week
My colleague just listened to my French song and said she understands about a quarter of it - and she is French!! Some work to do there, me thinks...

Berlioz, Waverley Overture
