What Are You Listening To?

I had heard the Saltarello by Piffaro... but if Corvus is able to bring new audiences to the old music more power to them I guess...

You mean this?  Clearly, the official link to iTunes  is the issue... gotta give the pieces of flesh to CrApple you know.  Bow to our masters of overlord...

Yes, that's the one.

I just got, ripped and listened to two lovely CD's by the UK singer,  Zoë.

The two albums are, Scarlet Red and Blue (1992) and Hammer (1996).  I was delighted at both groupings.  She made #4 in the UK, but not quite all the way, back then.   As far as I can find, she's joined a folk group called Mama.  I plan to get their album next, it's from 2008.

But I can highly recommend these two.

The sounds of a music video being shot in the restaurant.

I saw Bucky do this live in the summer. Always brings a tear to my eye..

The video of my son and his buddies playing Dvorák this morning for the county evaluation:

Interesting. Sounds a good deal lower-pitched than I remember it. Is it because the bassoons are relatively overrepresented?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

The cello and double bass were added later, I imagine that the bass line (which frequently doubles the bassoons) was getting lost in where ever they were playing it for the first time.
