I don't think we'd know what to do without you. I still discover and rediscover films, streets, and trains expressly because of your blog. Some ECMs I have returned to repeatedly with great pleasure, and recommended, lent, and not infrequently re-purchased:<br />1. Gesualdo: TENEBRAE (Hilliard)<br />2. Dave Holland/Derek Bailey<br />3. Chick Corea: MUSIC FOR CHILDREN<br />4. Werner Pirchner: EU<br />5. Gavin Bryars: THREE VIENNESE DANCERS<br />6. Paul Hindemith: SONATAS FOR VIOLA ALONE<br />7. Thomas Tallis: LAMENTATIONS...<br />8. Perotin (Hilliard)<br />9. Paul Giger: SCHATTENWELT, and maybe also CHARTRES<br />10. Heinz Holliger: SCARNDANELLI-ZYKLUS<br />11. William Byrd (Hilliard)<br />12. Federico Mompou: MUSICA CALLADA (a supreme favorite, recently)<br />13. Schubert: TRIO IN ES-DUR<br /><br />And on and on. I have reservations about what seems like an overproduced staidness that mars the approach for me, but that is a common argument and is countered often enough. And I could easily name another 30 or 40 albums that are at least as essential as those above...those have simply been spinning in my head this past few years....<br /><br />And all the items on your list (of the Bleys, I have a special fondness for the solo OPEN, TO LOVE recording, though Bill Frisell's playing on the two "quartet" records is a thing to behold...gorgeous; nothing like his last 15 years as much mellower fare. And the Jimmy Giuffre 2cd set (1961), which is excellent in every way, as soulful as it is rarified.graspreleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028883826393523427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579754230116285540.post-25499023491268600022010-04-05T07:07:27.032-07:002010-04-05T07:07:27.032-07:00I've been meaning to delve into ECM records fo...I've been meaning to delve into ECM records for a while...don't really know where to start.zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153690298069536409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579754230116285540.post-77474510089210045602010-04-04T21:13:49.035-07:002010-04-04T21:13:49.035-07:00need a break from the art of memory after this, ne...need a break from the art of memory after this, nearly killed me...<br /><br />any errors, let me know, still have to get "closer" to these cds, will take a while but a list is good for me to start things in getting clearerthe art of memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748087818232571209noreply@blogger.com
