The Divine your vinyl of the week


Let's build up a REAL Records 2 die 4 List

What's your favorite vinyl of the week?

And why?

One of my time jumps :

Oistrakh Bruch Scottish Fantasia Violin Concerto

London CS 6337, 1962 1E/!E

His pressure onto the bow linked with the superb orchestra recording is unique. This record really "breathes" and serves a kind of "warmth" which is hard to find in violin recordings. There is an "easy-going" from Oistrakh I never heard again in any Violin recording in combination with a full size orchestra. Even in the "big tutti" you'll never get the impression of compression.
Golden Age of Analogue?
Here it is.

Some of my essentials include:

Charlie Christian with the Benny Goodman Sextet and Orchestra, Columbia CL 652 (recorded 1939-41)

Gene Ammons--Light, Breezy and Moody, Mercury-Wing MGW 12156 (recorded 1947-48)

Johnny Hartman--The Voice That Is, Impulse A-74

Barney Kessel-Vol. 1 Easy Like, Contemporary C3511 (recorded 1953-56)

Only the Hartman is in stereo. The other 3 are in glorious mono. Nevertheless, each LP is a sonic treat as well as a musical delight.
