I was curious about the 2 "modern" passacaglias on this disk. And, with some meisterwerke of Buxtehude and J.S. Bach thrown in with the deal, how could I resist!

Well, that name certainly brings back some happy memories of southern Indiana. I had the privilege of seeing him perform at a small club... "Bear's Place" just off campus in Bloomington during my college days... ... more |

Ok.. I finally gave in and bought a copy of this set. Luckily, I could find one on sale. But now after having listened to this set several times, I think I'd even pay retail. It's that good!

In addition to that, Copenhagen had to deal with 2 major fires and the ... more |

I was looking for some of NEOS's Maderna SACDs when I came across this one.
WOW!!
"Popol Vuh", a kind of Mayan "Rite of Spring", shows the influence of Stravinsky, Bartok and Prokofiev... , but Alberto Ginastera has created his own unique & exotic world. It's amazing what sounds he was able to ... more |

| I have no idea what's up with those shipping fees? Sometimes I can get reasonable rates but other times... Kyaa!!!
Haven't seen Jurassic World. Generally, I don't have very high expectations for most sequels. Some friends said it was the best one after the original. But I kind of enjoyed the third along with the first one. And even the second one ... more |

| I was lukewarm on Hannibal for the first 2 or 3 episodes. Then, things started to develop quite nicely. Let's hope Man in the HC gets better too. That's what the commentor said on the link above at any rate. Anyway, I am intrigued because it's based on story by Phillip K. Dick (Bladerunner, Minority Report...) ... more |
