Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So what are ya listening to tonight?

Maybe so, Randy. I have "only" about a thousand, so he has me beat. Of course, I'm still adding to my collection, although at a slower rate. If you get a chance to listen to some of those it'd be interesting to see your comments on the music(naming the specific performance).

Just got done listening to my Joe Walsh Anthology. I love some of the old stuff.

That Joe Walsh Anthology is great package! I'll have to pull that out for a listen this weekend...

Picked up the Eagles Farewell Tour DVD today and just finished watching/listenung to it. Done very well.

I just purchased that DVD as well. Haven't had a chance to watch all of it yet however what I have seen so far is very good!

JohnK, I was going to send you a PM, but since it seems you're following this one...
How about a nice trumpet concerto? I have the first mov't from Giuseppe Tartini's Cncerto in D Major and I cannot tell you how much I enjoy that piece. It has a lot of pomp and atmosphere, not too busy, but not too quiet, structured, but not rigid. Is the whole thing like that?
What would you recommend along those lines?

I'm listening to the live sounds of The Tragically Hip, who happen to be performing just down the road from my house. Wish I had gone to the concert.

It's still pretty loud here though.

Mark, the second andante movement of the Tartini has a change of pace(as second movements are supposed to do)to a slower, gentler theme that's quite attractive. The third movement returns to quicker, more vigorous material. Tartini composed the piece as a violin concerto and it's been transcribed for trumpet specifically for the great Maurice Andre, and a fine bargain set of trumpet concertos including the Tartini is done by Andre here . If you're interested and if despite my suggestions you haven't expanded your Rachmaninoff collection, you should add this set to get you over the $20 for free shipping.

Thanks, John, I'll grab those in the morning.
I am stunned, but not surprised, by your knowledge.

The sound of my head ringing after 67 takeoff and landings from a narrow a$$ rock road on this, the 7th day of my work week with not a day scheduled off untill the end of August...although not a huge Sting fan, he's sounding not too terribly bad from the 80s this evening. Nice and mellow, a good way to get yet another 7 day work week started tomorrow.

I'm thinking a system upgrade is in order come September.
