Soaked but entertained...

Playlist
Various - Jukebox on shuffleplay
Helene Grimaud - Reflection:R Schumann/C Schumann/Brahms
Maria Joao Pires/Ricardo Castro - Schubert "Resonance de l'Originaire"

The HMV sale strikes again as I find a great little 2 disc set of Schubert's piano music for four hands reduced to £5 and also for £5 Helene Grimaud's 2005 album "Reflections" comprising a Robert Schumann Piano Concerto and 3 songs by his wife, Clara Schumann, along with a sonata for piano and cello and two rhapsodies by Johannes Brahms.....

Lovely...

Tonight I'm out with James Jamieson to the "Out of the Bedroom presents" evening....

So I don't miss first act, Impossible Songs, I forego the offer of waiting till 8 to get the car from Anne, who will have returned from her aerobics class by then and, instead walk for the bus - and get soaked in a horrendous rainstorm (at both ends of the bus trip, during which Ms Grimaud keeps me company)...

Also on tonight are Hannah O'Reilly, Acoustic Idol of a couple of years back, and the excellent Steven Carey, who played on the same bill as me back in July at Pol's house gig in Lasswade...

An entertaining evening all round - and great to see Jamie again...

I leave around 10 or so and the rain's off...

Back on the bus to Corstorpine and up home to Crispycat Towers...

Finish off the night with the SPL Football highlights including Hearts' victory over Aberdeen...

Highlight of the Day : Another Helene Grimaud album - I have quite a few - she's my favourite modern day pianist...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
