Relativ Violin Night, The - Mel

Advantages: Mutter's eloquence and sensitivity in older recording are enhanced here.
Disadvantages: None at all!

...As a fantastically talented eighteen-year-old, Anne-Sophie Mutter already awed me with her sensitive and thoughtful eloquence in her 1981 recording of the Brahms violin concerto (with Herbert von Karajan directing the Berlin Philharmonic). However, there’s an even deeper understanding in Mutter’s reading of the Brahms piece on this newer disc. This performance was taped live at the Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, New York City, in 1997. Kurt Masur conducts the New York Philharmonic in particularly inspired fashion. A difference of fifteen years separates the two recordings. In the time between, she married, had children, and then was widowed at a very young age.

Advantages: True Baroque Classics and fun to play
Disadvantages: None really, apart from some can get difficult, but nevertheless enjoyable and problems are easy to overcome

Absolutely Amazing!... Read review

A lot of these tracks I find very difficult to describe in great detail as the instrumental sounds from the keyboard and from the DJ's studio prove quite difficult to identify. They are very random and varied. ~Moby Last Night~ 1 oOh Yeah: The first track on the album starts with the title of this track. It does sound strange with its electronic repetition, which is then followed some 90 seconds where the music breaks into some mellow singing, the largely repetitive voice stops for a while and comes back later. It does sound a complete contrast to Moby's more well known and much more famous songs. This would count as a good disco tune in the right venue and a very good opening track. 2 I love to move...
