Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fizzywiggs41]

Spent yesterday eve listening to this classic in great surround.


Genesis -The Trick Of The Tail. CD/DTS DVD

 

[fizzywiggs41]

And the other day gave this disc a re-spin

Very good surround for a disc that mixes live and studio tracks.


Jackson Browne -Running On Empty
DVDA

 

[Spock]

Love this disc, great songs in excellent surround

 

[Clint Eastwood]

After listening to this concert last night...I still can't get this song out of my head...it's been there before...I've loved this song since the first time I ever heard it...and even in this "milder" acoustic version...it's still rocks

How do you like it ?

I only just got it the other day, but I like it very much.

Recently I usually don't compare different performances of the same work. I just tend to listen to and appreciate a performance on its own merits. But, I decided to compare this one to Joseph Kelemen's performance on Oehms SACD. It was fun. https://www.oehmsclassics.de/artikel/3631/Kelemen_Joseph_Norddeutsche_Orgelmeister_Vol__3/en

I chose to focus on Schildt's Magnificat. Quite different approaches from the 2 organists. Kelemen's performance is much bolder with a quicker tempo. This makes the piece feel like a large, powerful work. The large Arp-Schnitger organ (built in 1692) also adds to the overall effect.
Berben's performance is more intimate with a slightly slower tempo...bringing out the solemn characteristics of the music. Built in 1624, the Hans Scherer organ is of an earlier generation than the Arp-Schnitger, but contemporary to Schildt.

The surround channels are ambient, but both Oehms and Aeolus do an excellent job recording these 2 wonderful instruments. There is plenty of resonance of the recording venues to make the soundstage naturally immersive.

If you're new to this music, Kelemen's recording on Oehms might be good because it includes major works by Nicolaus Bruhns and the performance is a bit more exciting.

Berben's recording on Aeolus is also very good. It contains music by Delphin Strungk, a little known contemporary of Schildt. And the Hans Scherer organ gets us back to Schildt's teacher Sweelinck. It's a good disk to chill to.

Thanks for the response. Nice to see another organ buff . Do you listen to organlive.com music station by any chance ?

Moody Blues SACD's to start the day.
On The Threshold of a Dream
To My Children's Children's Children
Then
PorcTree Fear of a Blank Planet & Deadwing

Many years ago I wore out several plain old 8 tracks of Moody Blues On The Threshold of a Dream (1969). This and A Question of Balance (1970) remain my favorites.
Not really a big fan of TMCCC but thought I'd give a listen for old time's sake.
