My mother is a big fan of Lang Lang recently she catched a feature about this CD on TV. So this was an obvious christmas present. I quite like it too.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Xmas is not complete without the Nutcracker and as part of my $.99 cent special CD's I found the suite that Tchaikovsky wrote. Not sure if you all know it but the entire ballet is twice as long, in fact it's two CD's.

Williams' concert work is as avant-garde as it gets. The same goes for some of his scores, for example Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I especially like the solo pieces inspired by Rosewood. -

NP: REBEL (John Miles)
My kind of old-school prog/art rock, heavily inspired by Alan Parsons' producing influence (Miles performed on several of their songs later on). Too bad Miles didn't stick with this sound for more than a couple of albums and instead deteriorated into crappy 80s cheese pop.I am extremely serious. -

I wouldn't have thought you'd even acknowledge that "crappy 80s cheese pop" exists, Thor! -

My dad had those on LP, and I copied them to cassettes in the late 80s or early 90s. Remember playing them quite a bit. I never re-bought them on CD, though.I am extremely serious. -

A friend of my big sister had the "blue" LP back in the 80s. There was a Beatles hype back then following the murder of John Lennon. Both, my sister and I, copied it from her.
I bought both anthologies on CD in 1993. I also had three albums on CD.
Later in 2009 I would buy all the remastered studio albums and the "Past Masters". In 2010 I would buy the compilations again. I gave the 1993 edition to my niece. I adore those "Remasters". One of the best projects of this vein. One reason those remasters stood out so much of course was that they did such a sloppy job on the original CD releases.
I also have the "Love" album that George Martin produced for Cirque du Soleil. Some really nice remixes there.

Wow, you're apparently a much bigger Beatles fan than I. Never a big fan myself, even though I was obviously exposed to their music from an early age -- them being what they are.I am extremely serious. -
- CommentTimeJan 4th 2015 edited
Actually I don't listen to their music all too often. These things came and go in waves. But those albums are cultural testaments. I like to see them sitting on the shelf. Indeed the Beatles CDs are among the few that I did not store away in a box. It's like the works of Sheakespeare or Goethe that I have on my book shelf without reading them every day.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Speaking of Oldfield I was just listening to some PEKKA POHJOLA
The superb Finnish bass player/composer once did an album with Oldfield. It's bloody excellent too but unfortunately, I believe, hard to get. ( nothing on Spotify )
NP : KEESOJEN LEHTO - Pekka Pohjola
This is that album I had featuring Mike Oldfield ( it also features his sister, Sally ), I used to have it on LP too, here in the UK it was released by Virgin as a MIKE OLDFIELD album under the title THE CONSEQUENCES OF INDECISIONS ( and very hard it is to find too ).
My favourite track can be found at the 5 minute mark HERE with Pohjola playing Harpsicord followed by Sally Oldfield's wordless vocals and Mike's guitar, this is musical nirvana for me.
The whole album is great, maybe both Volker and Thor should check it out here on the YT post above, unfortunately the album isn't available on either artist catalogue on Spotify.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

THE ROCK from Rachmaninoff. An early work that borders slightly on the macabre. Been touched by this work for over 40 years.
