Magic Marmalade 14th Dec 2016		something very odd about this title... ...It seems to be an exception to the rule that the stereo version is both rarer, and by virtue of that, more expensive. You can find listings for the "Red Stereo" on popsike, and a couple can be found on ebay for around the thirty quid mark (and under)... but no mono copies can be found except on discogs, where there are 3 listings from £40 - to over £100! (where the stereo listing on discogs starts from about £6+) What weirdness is this? ... I only wish my copy was in better condition than it is as regards the cover :(



Magic Marmalade 28th Jan 2016		Review Perfect rainy day music. If you find yourself stuck indoors, just staring out the window at the rain, this could be a perfect piece of music to listen to. You could easily settle back and read a book with this on in the background without it being a distraction. It's a solo piano recital by Wilhelm Kempff.... just him, alone with a piano. No other instrumentation. In fact, it would be a great thing to listen to if you were studying piano at a high level I should imagine, or maybe even learning, as it is delicate, meditative music with an occasional flourish. It begins very delicately, and is a little on the quiet side, which I initially thought was the recording itself being that quiet.... but by degrees it lifts as it moves through the pieces so rather it's just the delicacy of his piano playing at the outset. The pieces become only a little more vigorous as it goes, which leads nicely to the vinyl and pressing itself: Because curiously, side 1 comes in at about 28 mins. whereas side 2 only has about 12 minutes of music, to give a total of approximately 40 minutes of music. ... this great length for side 1 I attribute to the sparse music being undemanding of the grooves, so they could press it with a "tighter spiral", and get more on it, and so side 2, which has a little more purpose in Kempff's playing, and a little more weight, they opened it up a little more... of course, they could have comfortably put more on side 2, but the length and number of the pieces by Brahms decided this. As you'd expect, the vinyl is nice, super silent around the piano, with room for power where it's needed (as much as this is the case), and has great detail in the quieter parts. I've had a little mosey on the web, and this record is quite a difficult one to find online... not that it may necessarily be considered rare in the sense that it'll give you goose bumps on your eyeballs, but rare in that it just doesn't seem to be generally considered at all (There are probably hundreds of copies languishing in charity store record bins all around, but I did find a listing on Amazon for a stereo version... ... but this being a mono or stereo record I think in this instance is a redundant point, as it is only one instrument that encompasses the entire audible "field of view". I may be listening to this quite regularly actually. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
