Currently Listening To (2019)............

Boris Johnson puts me in mind of the musical climate that came about in the eighties as a response to Thatch.

 

Either you are the exception to the rule or all the women that I've had in my life are/were faulty! Libby is just 29 but now she (almost exclusively) listens to Joy Division, Bowie or obscure'80s stuff that I've introduced her to. But Neil Young - forget it! In the 16 years that Sue and I were together it was the same reaction. And the list goes on.

 

Oh how strange, lots of my friends liked him as well ( male and female).
Another great one of his that I can recall is The Needle And The Damage Done

 

That's my wifes view and I can kind of understand it (in a way)

 

Great track... but Id say that of most of his stuff (apart from the shocking pinks stuff)

 

I have quite a few albums of Arvo Part's compositions but the one I always come back to is "Fratres" with Tasmin Little's incredible violin playing, a brilliant performance and easily one of my top 20 albums of all time!

Arvo Pärt - Tasmin Little • Martin Roscoe • Richard Studt • Bournemouth Sinfonietta - Fratres

She plays solo violin on my favourite rendition of "The Lark Ascending", too! The original version with a fifteen year old (!) Julia Hwang on violin is also wonderful.





Listened to these today.
