[Sokel]

A really interesting performance of Vivaldi's Bajazet.
Act 2,7th scene,Sposa son disprezzata by Oya Ergün.

Not the best performance out there but emotional and clean.
(after all we're in ASR,pure sines are a must and Ergün comes as close as possible)

The Holly Cole Trio version of I Can See Clearly Now on CD was better but check this out. For a YouTube - especially for one 11 years old - this ain't bad.

 

[Mr Swing King]

Love me some female vocals - just about everything ranging from Diamanda Galas and Renate Knaup to Susanne Sundfør and Annie Haslam.
These days I’ve been diving back into some 80s pop such as Siouxsiee & The Banshees and Cocteau Twins. Speaking of the latter:

[Dunring]

I just moved a bunch to a Google Music playlist (no videos so it won't melt your wireless connection) that really stand out for female vocals.

I haven't closely listened to all 4 albums X3 mixes yet but the Court and Spark Atmos mix is the most beautiful mastering of this recording I've ever heard. Joni's voice is smooth as butter with the rest of the music about as clean sounding a production as I've ever heard from a popular 1970s analog tape recording. The same can be said of the 2ch 24/192 Hi Res offering, and the original 1974 Quad mix is a stellar example of a immersive 4 channel presentation.
If your any kind of Joni fan, get this BluRay set with the lovely booklet before they sell out?

I just recently started to appreciate her, as I was mostly into stuff heavier than her. I happen to like some other things that Bruce Botnick has been involved in & I particularly like Quad (now with a pair of subwoofers).
Thanks for pointing us in this direction.

Great album! Look forward to hearing the Atmos mix.

PS. If you like this era of Joni Mitchell, check out Don Juans Reckless Daughter from a few years later. Featuring my favourite bass player, Jaco Pastorius.
