The Kate Nash song brought tears to my eyes. Haunting.

I'm a Bach girl so enjoyed the Harpsichord concerto, Trevor pinnock is one of the best harpsichirdists around. I also enjoy Angela Hewitt's interpretation of the Well Temered Clavier, and Catrin Finches Goldberg Variations (played on the harp.) I'm very much a classical girl with the odd bit of Pink Floyd and other groups/soloists mixwed in for variety.

I'm very much a classical girl with the odd bit of Pink Floyd and other groups/soloists mixwed in for variety. Angela Hewitt is definitiely top notch. I too have her Goldberg Variations and The Toccatas. I have Trevor Pinnock playing on the concertos for 3 and 4 harpsichords but Karl Richter on the Harpsichord. All lovely. I love Pink Floyd too - and dsepite having seen a very large number of bands over the past x years, only saw them once at a charity gig (they did 4 tracks) - I know I missed out big time. Incidentally, I smiled at James's reference to Mark King of Level 42 in his latest book- another band I saw a couple of times in the 80s! Here's a Level 42 track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt7mtdLha-cHaven't played them for quite a while so it was good to see James give them a mention |

Scissor Sisters' new album. Oh yes. Good in the car, plus I would like to post some of the lyrics in Songs/Song lyrics that remind you of James, but by gum! They're much too mucky!.
Sorry to lower the tone. (I do classical as well, but am really enjoying this at the moment!)

I was given that album as a gift but haven't got round to playing it - I will have to do so by he sound of it..... .......but not for a while as I have devised a Big Project for myself. I love Chopin and, having been given an HMV gift voucher was going to buy some CDs with it - until I realised I couldn't use it online and the shop selection is derisory. So! I looked at my vinyl selection and counted 13 albums by the likes of Rubenstein, Pollini, Argerich and other luminaries. I'm lucky enough to have invested in a CD recorder when the last player died so I'm going to convert these albums on to CD. As the recorder isn't able to distinguish between tracks, this means painstakingly recording each track individually. How lovely that will be. Here's some Chopin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGRO05WcNDk |

(It's just) talk - Pat Metheny Group followed by (on the shuffle setting)
Voodoo People - The Prodigy
Quite a contrast.

Ah Pat Metheny. Haven't listened to any of his stuff in years. Must dig out the CDs!
This afternoon I'm mainly listening to the sound of the rain thudding down and waiting for it to stop so I can go out to the shops without getting soaked!

I know!! I hadn't either - but I heard a track off this album on the radio while we were our hols and it reminded me so I dug out the albums and downloaded another off itunes dead cheap.

Miles Davis : Kind of Blue. There's something about a stormy afternoon that suits the mood. Pat Metheny. I had a friend who had some of his stuff. I shall consult Spotify. |

I know how Mark feels, xjs!  But in an effort to cheer myself up, I'm listening to Aussie band Little Red and their song "Rock It" - I highly recommend it for the blues - www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSfSjkW5E6U |

'Let the Bright Seraphim', from Handel's Samson. Performed by my all-time favourite soprano, Dame Joan Sutherland, whose death was announced earlier today. RIP, Dame Joan.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nZmdreKkss |

I didn't realise she'd died! My childhood was full of her voice and Kathleen Ferrier's - my mother was a musician and loved both of them; played their records often. I always wanted a soprano voice but ended up as a low contralto. Ferrier's "Blow the Wind Southerly" is well within my range (as, strangely enough, is all the Pet Shop Boys stuff, as Neil Tennant seems to have exactly the same range as mine!)

I love Kathleen Ferrier. No-one could sing Orpheus as well as her. I'm a soprano, so I tend to be drawn to that particular vocal range more than any other. To my shame, I didn't really know about Dame Joan until I saw the TV coverage of her farewell appearance at Covent Garden in 1990, after which I went out and found a compilation album of her earlier work, and became instantly hooked. I spent my teenage years and beyond listening to her voice and trying to sing her repertoire - although I had to be careful with the really high stuff, obviously! I'd even listen to her while doing my homework. Happy memories. |

Yes, Kathleen ferrier and Joan Sutherland were certainly the best of the best. I also like Elsie Morrison, who sang with the Huddersfield choral Society, her rendition of 'Rejoice Greatly O Daughter of Zion,' is wonderful and can always brighten my day.

J.C. Bach's sonata in G major for two keyboards, it's a wonderful piece of music which never fails to cheer me up. I had a copy on CD but have somehow 'lost' it. I have just been trying to locate another copy on various internet sites and it has taken me ages to locate one, and then it was a used copy, but that is better than not having it.
