Love this. I have the vinyl. And he just released a redux version, though I haven’t figured out what the difference is. lol

Nice!
I think I found the new version you mentioned, will try this next, but looks like another performance so perhaps changes are subtle?
Found this short review that describes it as a “software update” to the original.

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything by Max Richter. After Seasons Recomposed I particularly love his Opus 2020. I regret missing his Sleep live in NYC several years ago. I read about it at the time, but that was before I went ALL IN on the audiophile thing, so his name didn’t mean anything to me at the time.

I actually learned of him in last 6 months or so when I was looking up Arrival soundtrack which was deemed ineligible for academy award due its prominent use of Max Richter’s “On the nature of daylight” whose traces I thought I could definitely hear in some songs on this reinterpretation of Four Seasons as well.
But coming back, I agree, Max Richter is pretty cool. I don’t really listen to a lot of traditional audiophile music but maybe I should 
I really would love to catch someone like him at the Carnegie Hall some time.

Alva Noto has long been a favorite of mine, and with the vinyl remastering & re-release of his 5 collaborations with avante-garde piano virtuoso Ryuichi Sakomoto, I have become obsessed with their brand of hypnotic rhythmic compositions. Ambient perfection.
(*point of interest: the first letter of the 5 collaborative albums, released over the course of 11 years, spells out “V-I-R-U-S”)

Been going down a jazz bass / piano rathole.
Charlie Haden & John Taylor, Bill Evans & Eddie Gomez, Jan Johansson, Charlie Haden & Kenny Barron, Duke Ellington & Ray Brown, Charlie Haden & Hank Jones, Joe Sealy & Paul Novotny, Keith Jarrett & Charlie Haden, NHOP, and on and on.
Getting the ZMF Verite Open’s together with the Folkvangr has made me want intimate music with textured acoustic bass and close mic’ing of piano. Gosh it’s good.
Here’s the one that started me down this path:

There was a girl who sang the blues.

She always gave me chills.
Hey people this is Janis with Jorma in 1964. Mono. Lots of problems with the recording at first. Best fuckin’ honest music you’ll ever hear.

Listened to Keith Jarrett Vienna Concert last night on my Focal Utopias in the dark. An amazing experience. Jarrett led me on a journey through the stars, through my memory, and through my heart. I was in awe.
I have always been a big fan of his, but had never heard this performance. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Hey there, glad you enjoyed it! It is an intense event at times, for me his most complete, mature, solo (that I have heard). I know what you mean about him, there are times where I am just not at all in the mood for his idiosyncratic playing. But when I am, if I can listen without distraction, it can be amazing.
If you like really intelligent solo piano, check out Yaron Herman. He also has incredible ensemble recordings, but recently I listened to this three times straight through on a flight just in awe of his ideas:
With the added bonus that he does not make vomiting noises like Kieth!
Enjoy!

Very nice. I think “intelligent solo piano” is a good way to characterize his performance. He really engages the listener. Jarrett does something else; you are not just engaged, you are transported. I am a big fan of Bill Evans, used to see him live in New York, and got the same sort of experience. I am looking forward to exploring Herman’s work in more depth.
I have a flight coming up soon and will listen to the whole album. I just received a Focal Bathys, so this will be a good opportunity to try them out.

I suggest you add also Paris Concert to your KJ listening, it comes in as my second favorite of his solo concerts, La Scala 3rd.
Safe travels!

Here’s a very offbeat album that ROON stuck in my face this evening. It somehow creeps up on you. Latin electronica pop with a sci-fi theme. It’s slow, generally. And has eerily creaky instruments. I think I really like it. Don’t tell anyone.

Listening to Keith Jarrett Paris Concert,on my Focal Bathys on a flight and loving it. Hard to pick a winner between Paris, Vienna and Koln. All great. All different.

Louis the child released a new album recently. Very different from their previous stuff, but if you’re into ‘deep’ electronic you might quite like it
90% of the time I’m not into this sort of stuff but then every now and then something comes along that just tickles the right nerves.
The whole album is songs from about 1:30 to 2:30 in length, and a continuous mix. If you have just over half an hour to listen through it, it’s good fun.
The new Gorillaz album ‘Cracker Island’ Isn’t out til February next year but the stuff from it that IS out is a bop!
My favourite genre of music has pretty much always been ‘electro-orchestral’. Stuff such as the Red Bull Symphonic or deadmau5 ‘Where’s the drop?!’ album.
But it’s so hard to find content that fits into this, stuff that marries really well done acoustic aspects, preferably more classical in nature where possible, with clean, well engineered electronic aspects.
Reid Willis is someone who does an astounding job at this and I’ve listened through the ‘Thirst EP’ several times lately.
Go to this song, and listen from about 3:20 onwards if you want to skip to the ‘good’ bits. The recording, engineering, and song itself is brilliant imo.
Proper goosebumps when listening to this!
His other stuff, ‘The Longing Device’ album in particular, is equally spectacular

It’s definitely the best on the album…and possibly the best song in two decades. What’s your overall opinion on the album in its entirety?
That was superb, beautiful, amazing! The change of pace at 5:30 was awesome!
