Paris and Vienna...

Playlist
Weather Report - Forecast Tomorrow
Santana – Welcome
Ferry Corsten – Right of Way
City and Colour – Bring Me Your Love
Haydn – The Paris Symphonies Nos 82-87

Awoke with, aptly, the sounds of Weather Report on the cans...

Festivities over...

Dreadfully cold today and, it seems, worse is on its way...

Three LPs soundtracked the day, Santana on the journey into town, Ferry Corsten at lunchtime and City and Colour on the way home...

FOPP beckoned at lunchtime but nothing was partaken of...

However, on the way home, a stop off at HMV resulted in my first purchase of 2010 – a three disc set of Haydn’s Paris Symphonies...

He never actually visited Paris of course...

This set, by Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the “authentic instruments” orchestra, Concentus Musicus Wien, seems to split critics but I found it to be most beautiful and exhilarating as I listened to it this evening...

And of course, reduced as it was from £31 to a mere £5 in HMV’s sale (£25 on Amazon), I could not resist...

The set was recorded in Vienna, which we will visit later this year...

Highlight of the Day: Mr Haydn’s delights...

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!
