Beethoven* / Claudio Arrau / Alceo Galliera / Philharmonia* - Piano Concerto No. 5 In E Flat Major, "Emperor"

I was reminded this is Beethoven appreciation month, bought this during my classical buying frenzy over a year ago and never listened to it.

Getz & Gilberto
Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto | Format: Vinyl

Had this on cd, finally found it on vinyl during a recent business trip. Bossa Nova beat to Sunday brunch can't be beat. And hearing Atrud Gilberto sing 'The Girl from Ipanema' is worth the cost of the record alone, she has a great voice for this music.

Hope you're enjoying them.

I liked the classical a lot.  I will have to get some more similar to that.

Enjoying a good steak, better wine, before driving north to MA. tomorrow to subject myself and son to the madness that is my family.

Case in point, my sister, who's house it is, just posted on fb a pic of the full grown white pine my bro-in-law lust dropped in the middle of the yard. wtf????

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Like nothing you've ever heard.  The are reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies, not in their sound, but in their mood.  Minimalist, not for the sake of minimalism, but because when they do it, less is more.

The xx- Crystalised [Lyrics in Description]

These are from their first album, xx, which I believe every track is strong.
