What Are You Listening To? April 2022

Dmitri Shosktakovich - Shostakovich Plays Shostakovich (2019)

The most amazing piece on this essential collection is a performance by the composer of his 10th Symphony arranged for two pianos :oops: . The other pianist is his disciple, Mieczysław Weinberg.
 
Stan Kenton - 1945 (Classics, 1996)

Last evening, I also listened to a Georges Brassens compilation, entitled Vol. 2.

I cannot locate any mention of the disc, anywhere.

Mark Sloniker ~ True Nature (1988)



True but un-interesting story.

I never liked this as an album designated as New Age, but I have appreciated it on some level.

Perhaps it was because of the tenor and soprano saxophones.

So, re-designating it as a New Age-Smooth Jazz amalgam, it works.

You possess an artifact from an alternate timeline? :oops:

Allz ah knoz ez ah cain't fahnd et! :drink:

It's a Universal Music compilation from 1987. It has a blue cover, with a closely-cropped photo of Georges Brassens' face smoking a pipe, as in Vol. 8, but he's not smiling, just looking contemplative, as in "Will you get this damn photo shoot done, already?"
