December 4
1. Hariprasad Chaurasia with Zakir Hussain: "Rag Ahir Bhairav -- Alap &
Jor, Slow gat in rupak taal, fast gat in teentaal" from "Venu" Rykodisc
2. Gidon Kremer with Milva (Astor Piazzolla): "Preludio para el ano 3001"
from "El Tango" Nonesuch nr
-Two perfect recordings of Piazzolla in two years (last year Gidon
Kremer released "Hommage a Piazzolla" also on Nonesuch), Gidon Kremer is a
wonderful violinist who understands Piazzolla perfectly. Milva has a
stunning voice on the several pieces where she sings.
3. James Keane: "Slan le Maigh" from "That's the Spirit" Green Linnet
4. Regis Gizavo: "Mpembe" from "MikeA" Shanachie nr
5. Xenos: "Sao Roma" from "My Mother Said" indie
-This is now the sixth version of the gorgeous song Erdelezi I have
played on my show. This is also one of the best.
6. Panegyris with Dora Stratou: "Portos suite" from "Greek folk
Favourites" Tradition
7. Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band: "Drei Neytorinis" from "Fire" Flying Bulgar
Recordings
8. The Karelian Folk Ensemble: "Kaski Meitou" from "Ingrian Folk Songs"
Gadfly nr
9. Pekel: "Douwe Jongens, Douwe" from "Van de Maas Naar de Oost" PAN
10. Einsteurzende Neubauten: "Ein Stuhl in der Holle" from "Strategies
against Architecture II" Mute
11. Ludwig Van Beethoven: "Musiz zu Friedrich Dunckers Drama "Lenore
Prohaska" WoO96" performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker under Claudio
Abbado with Sylvia McNair Duetsche Grammaphon
12. The Buena Vista Social Club: "Chan Chan" from "The Buena Vista Social
Club" Nonesuch/World Circuit
13. Paul Simon: "Born in Puerta Rico" from "The Story of the Capeman"
Warner nr
-Well! Something out of the past it would seem. It's been a bloody
long time for a new album by Paul Simon. Is it worth the wait? There's
some good stuff on this album, particularly the Latin influences, but I
think I would have rather had a collection of songs than this "musical" or
whatever you would call it. I'll reserve further judgement until I get a
better chance to hear it.
14-15. Celso Machado: "Parazula" & "Ponteado Africano" from "Varal"
Surucna c nr
-Brazilian Celso Machado has some very nice guitar music based on
numerous Brazilian sources as well as other influences.
16. Imaginary Heaven: "O come, O come Emanuel" from "Christmas Come in
Darkness" Mageda c nr
17. Gidon Kremer (Giya Kancheli): "Instead of a Tango" from "El Tango"
Nonesuch
-This great piece by Kancheli is always approaching a tango, yet
never really gets going. Almost frustrating in that way.
18. Gidon Kremer with Milva (Astor Piazzolla): "Che Tango Che" from "El
Tango" Nonesuch
-Just so the listener is not left frustrated, this fast tango with
the brilliant wordplay should serve well.
19. Shu-De: "Kadarchynyng Yry" from "Voices from the Distant Steppe" Realworld
-I have a feeling that I played so much Latin music today as a
reaction against the increasingly cold weather here. Denial is not the
answer however, so I ended the show with cold music from an equally cold
place. A beautiful album tho'.

due to the very large amount of promotional material which CKCU receives
regularly and the lengthy delay in processing CD's, any CD cannot be
guaranteed immediate attention on my show. If you wish to be sure
something receives my attention, please send a SECOND copy
either to CKCU's address with that intention clearly stated, or to my home
address which is available by request (simply e-mail me).
