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

I found some at B&N Online

Also, their latest album has samples at Amazon.

You're forgetting jazz, classical and the blues - or are those all Marxist genres, as well?
As long as we're talking about liberals and such... Have you noticed how nostalgic they are for the '60s? And here I thought conservatives were the ones who supposedly cherished an idyllic past era that never actually existed.

Hey JohnK, do ya copy
quote "Ravel Ma Mere is included in a fine collection by Ozawa ; absolutely sure-fire is the Holst Planets in my favorite version by Mehta ; a bargain is the nearly complete orchestral output of my favorite composer, Rachmaninoff, by Ashkenazy ; Dvorak's delightful Slavonic Dances by Kubelik . "

Just wanted to let you know a friend of mine that I work with has tons of Classical CD's. He just moved back from New York where he has lived for 15 years. His is an opera singer and a very good one. Anyway, he said there is a very good chance he will have these CD's you mentioned, can't wait...thanks Randy

If it weren't for commies and liberals, all you'd have is country and that crap foisted upon the unsuspecting by the American Corporate Machine

While I am of a conservative nature (politics) I do agree that all the music I love is made by those evil liberals. I can't stand conservative music (country). yuk!

That is why we live in the real Midwest

Randy, I suspect that he means that he has versions of most or all of the music mentioned, not necessarily those specific CDs, but I'm sure that he has good ones which you'll enjoy listening to.

You might be suprised, when in New York he managed a record/cd store. He has thousands of Classical CD's

Right now I am listening to the new Dave Matthews Band cd "Stand Up". Bought the dual disc version. The DVD side in "Enhanced Stereo" sounds fantastic on my M60's!!!! Anyone else have this cd? BTW, the Buena Vista Social Club is a great cd. My wife introduced me to that cd when we first met.

Speaking of Rachmaninoff, one of my favorite anecdotes, speaking of complete outputs; was one of the stunts he used to pull while giving a recital. He would play a particular theme in virtually every key and fugue form imaginable while waiting for the coughing from the audiance to signal when they'd had enough.

Then He'd move on.

Oh yeah; what am I listening to tonight?

Tonight the kids are at a friends house painting model cars but will be home any minute, so I'm keeping the cable on for them, but listening to the "Music Channels" "Classical Masterpeices"

A variety of reasonably good stuff tonight.

I'm listening to Spiffnme's mix. So far, I like it a lot! That said, I've only heard 5 tracks or so. Next up is dmn23, then BrenR, then BigWill. Then Gillian Welch. Ah, the wonders of 5 disc changers...
