#5DebutAlbums50s60s Probably just too large a category (considering there was one for 1990-1994). Top 5’ll be Beatles/Stones/Zep + prob Velvets & maybe Crimso. All of jazz/reggae/soul most likely little chance due to there being 20 years to choose from. Your own list is the only one that counts tho!

#DailyCDBox 22 Mostly Philip Glass
Box a day, playing 1 CD. Enough boxes to last over a year
Of the 18 possible choices of discs by Mr Glass, I chose his soundtrack to the film “The Hours”, while probably not seen as one of his major works, for me, it’s one of his best!

Today, the beautiful cello concertos by Durham’s own John Garth, a 2CD set.

This set is one of only two available recordings of his work - it’s sublime…

Today, Dvorak to Elgar
An Einaudi disc. Reasonably early, with much electronics in the arrangements
Disparaged by many but his music is a template for almost every currently feted “new classical” piano based artiste

If you follow me but don’t listen to these, please do me a favour and let me know why that is? Every week, I put together a playlist of superb, in the main, just released music - some of which I then see you guys discussing in my timeline, oblivious that I’ve played it. Any feedback appreciated! Ta!

Today, Dohl to Dvorak
Chose Dohnanyi’s SQs 1 & 3 by the Avivs. Superb. Really must get round to getting the others. Been a fan of Dohnanyi since attending a performance of a string trio in a library in Dublin, May 1997
