A box of quartets...

Playlist
Laura Pausini - Inedito
Alban Berg Quartett - The Teldec Recordings

A day of Italian pop and 70's recordings of string quartets...

The latest Laura album when I was out and about...

Back home, a package had arrived - the 8CD box of recordings by the original line up of the Alban Berg Quartett...

The first disc was enjoyed while cooking my tea - a horrendous mix of tinned salmon, tinned tomatoes and baked beans - as you will have guessed, Anne was now out and about - hillwalking with Lynn...

Two "Big Bang Theory" episodes and then I found myself absent-mindedly watching "Hollyoaks", which I don't watch...

Ten minutes in I suddenly realised what was happening, switched off the TV and spent the rest of the night upstairs ripping and listening to both Ms Pausini and the Alban Bergs and reading about Portuguese faves Madredeus on the net...

Now that's what I call entertainment...

kind of...

Highlight of the day : A box of quartets...

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!
