http://howtohear.blogspot.com/2009/01/listening-diary-live-at-village.html
Music, musicians, cds, dvds, audio equipment, books, websites, music blogs and general audiophilia. Listening Diary: Live at the Village Vanguard, Wynton Marsalis Septet. Ps: There is a single-disc highlights version. Of these concerts, but I don't see how it could do justice to the box. If you see it used and for sale for a few bucks it will possibly give you an idea of the sound of the complete box, but then you'll have wasted your precious dough: after you hear one disc you'll want to hear all of ...

how to hear: Plucking the Baroque: Walter Gerwig and Bach
http://howtohear.blogspot.com/2009/02/plucking-baroque-walter-gerwig-and-bach.html
Music, musicians, cds, dvds, audio equipment, books, websites, music blogs and general audiophilia. Plucking the Baroque: Walter Gerwig and Bach. I am a devotee of thrift stores, not least because it is easy to pick up great music for (ahem) a song. My latest find: a Japanese import cd (Nippon Columbia/Musicaphon, 1992) of Walter Gerwig. S Bach recordings on the lute. The photo at left is the same recording, but not as cool as mine- my liner notes are entirely in Japanese. Bach's music for the lute (and ...

I know what you're thinking, "another Argerich-gasm (yawn)". Well, maybe, but what's not to love? That served notice there was a major talent on the scene. Also of course, she was a lithe and beautiful Argentine stroking (and pounding) the behemoth grand piano, that most masculine of instruments. Cat No: CDC 5569752. 12 - I. Dan...

Music, musicians, cds, dvds, audio equipment, books, websites, music blogs and general audiophilia. Sunday Smiling: Beirut on Letterman (YouTube video). It was nice to see Beirut on the Letterman show the other night. A bit curious, though, that they didn't play anything from the forthcoming March of the Zapotec/Real People: Holland.

http://howtohear.blogspot.com/2009/01/pretty-lights-stereophiles-big-fat.html
Music, musicians, cds, dvds, audio equipment, books, websites, music blogs and general audiophilia. Pretty Lights: Stereophile's Big Fat Website. A safer bet is to read the magazines in the same way one reads Car and Driver. Better than some others. A potentially costly revelation, but I am not currently in a financial position to buy any more of this stuff, so I confine myself to the actual pages of the mags, both the paper and internet varieties. There is some nice content over at The Absolute Sound.
