I went and saw Death Spells open for The Architects. The latter's bassist was sick so Frank played in. On Sparkles. Three feet from our faces, Frank on Mikey's bass. My friends and I got all teary... Too soon, man, too soon...
I'd run into him earlier in the evening selling merch. I wanted to bite him. I wanted to cry. I fought the urge to start demanding "Put my favorite band back together RIGHT NOW" by running the hell away. They laughed when I told them... once they saw Sparkles they went to the same place.
I'm not sure if anyone can help me. The only things on my Dad's Xmas list are some books and some suggestions for music.
He'd like to get a really good recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and a CD (or CD set or something) of Strauss's Viennese Waltzes.
can anyone point me to some good recordings?
Four Seasons:
Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony: [link]
Joshua Bell and the Academy of St. Martin's in the Fields: [link]
Vienna Philharmonic and Strauss waltzes: [link]
Another set by the Vienna Philharmonic, except the titles are in German, which might be a bit perplexing: [link]
Oh thanks! The titles might be perplexing but it's more about the music.
Hey, if you buy the CD with German titles, it seems more special!

Never mind. I was able to refine my google search. I had some details wrong, but it was Arthur MacBride.
