Recommend Anything

[Baroque]

It looks like I'm snowed in alone at my cabin for 2-3 days. Feel free to recommend me any music you think I'd like or that you like a lot. I'll listen to whatever you post. I'm open minded to any genre at all.

I highly and wholeheartedly recommend this Sandy Denny record, in it's entirety.

 

[Baroque]

Watching some youtube videos of her performing in 1971. Damn, she's an incredible musician. Not technical but masterfully soulful, and the chord changes are subtly complex.

 

[CiG]

Going by the way you described your situation, that record will be perfect as a moody comforter.

If you're into what your username suggests then I would recommend this recording of Albicastro's concerti. He's a pretty underground guy but I got this recommended from some czech classical music experts on a different forum and I have to say it is indeed tasty if you're into this kind of stuff.

 

[Baroque]

I am indeed a huge fan of Baroque music. It's all I listened to for a couple years of my life. I attend a Bach festival every year. Although I haven't given it nearly enough attention lately, and I haven't heard of this particular composer. Thank you for this! Sounds wonderful so far. I'd like to recommend Pietro Locatelli in return if you're not already familiar with him.

^ I've sure heard Locatelli before but I will check out more of his stuff if he's your favorite. I myself listen to great amounts of Bach lately. He's already surpassed everybody else in my last.fm charts. It takes a while to get to know all the piano stuff alone and to find your own favorite interprets. Everybody talks about Gould obviously, and I really like him, especially his english suites, but on harpsichord I like Keith Jarrett for instance, who has a shitload of his own jazzy stuff that I can't get into for some reason, but his harpsichord recordings are great. And then there's András Schiff, I love all his stuff.

EDIT: Oh and Gould's Goldberg Variations ofc.

 

[Baroque]

I wouldn't say Locatelli is my favorite (obv Bach) but he's probably the most obscure in my top 5. Not everything by him is great, but at his best he's amazing. Yeah I own a few cds of Gould playing Bach including Goldberg, Art of the Fugue, Musical Offering and such. I like Andras Schiff too. Mostly I focus more on the classical guitar side of Bach personally, for example I listen to lots of Segovia and John Williams. And the festival is usually very good about using period instruments which is a big reason why i keep attending it. It's hard to find that stuff. I haven't heard Keith Jarrett's recordings, will check those out next.

[Baroque]

I'm about halfway through this. It's really surprisingly good for a baroque composer I hadn't heard of. I'm intent on finishing it tomorrow (and listening to the other new stuff) but for now I'm going to bed.

 

[Burkhard]

I recommend the album "Løsrivelse" by Kari Bremnes, especially the following songs:

 

[Draehl]

 

[AllShallFall]

Great Finnish band. One of the few melo death bands that I like. They put on a great show.


Grungey hard rock from Norway that I really like. Not normally something I'd like but I do.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Excellent B-movie mystery/horror style funk tunes. Very 'city' sounding. If you dig it try out the whole album.

 

[Baroque]

Finally got around to listening to all of these, thanks! A lot of interesting stuff that is definitely off the beaten path for me.

What is that last video Carpe? The link has broken unfortunately

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Shit. Summertime Killer by Calibro 35, hope they didn't take it all off the YouTube's.

 

[The Butt]

ANY genre?

Zomboy - The Dead Symphonic EP. :v
