Saturday recording...
ha ha, yes! haven't transferred much yet, but there's a local thrift store that has 99 cent records. Most of them are kinda scary and moldy, but I can usually find a few gems. so today I'm recording new to me things....
Christmas Hymns and Carols - Mario Lanza: mostly traditional things here, some interesting arrangements. Jumped when the deep voice announced each king before his verse in We Three Kings. One of the peppiest O Holy Nights I've ever heard, NTTAWWT. and one thing I hadn't heard before, Guardian Angels.
Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice - Highlights: okay, this didn't come from the thrift store, but anyhoo, it's got Marilyn Horne singing Orfeo, so I figured it was worth the somewhat higher Half Price Books price. meh. everyone sounds great, this just isn't my cup of tea musically speaking. probably should be, but not today.
