Harmonium - The Bells  - #551

Rachmaninoff, Sergei; Adams, John

1996 Telarc 1/1/976

More minimalist music represented in the Grammy award winner 1997. Best Choral Performance   I like it, wish I were informed enough to say more.

Saint-Saëns and Roussel - #156

Radio Luxembourg Sym

1988 Black Pearl 1/1/88

Cheap classical but not of much interest

Purchased: 1/1/88 - Tower Outlet $1.99

Rated: 2

Fundamental - #588

Raitt, Bonnie

1998 Capitol 4/7/98

Bonnie’s songs are pretty much standard Raitt so it is good as she usually is.  Fundamental Raitt is a good name for the album,  I will probably play the Madonna album, the one I bought this same day, again because it is novel enough for me.  I doubt that I will play Bonnie much again at all.

Luck Of The Draw - #185

Raitt, Bonnie

1991 Capitol 1/1/91

A Grammy winner that really honors talent and perseverance.  She has both.  Sometimes the best do win, not just the flash in the pan.  She works hard for her honors and this album she deserves them.  A great woman rocker.

Boléro/Le Sacre Du Printemps - #37

Ravel, Stravinsky,

1977 London 1/1/74

As a piece this is a classic, not to be matched for Drama.  As a recording, 'tis is a version that is okay.  Bolero is extremely erotic, climax.

Rated: 5

Portrait Of The Blues - #186

Rawls, Lou

1992 Manhattan 4/1/92

This man's deep baritone will get you every time.  It would be a 5 if there was more good material here

Purchased: 6/21/93 - Columbia House $16.97

Rated: 4

Wunjo - #353

Reaves, Giles

1986 MCA Records 1/1/86

A close out album and a good listen, considering the price.  Like it.

I Remember - #184

Reeves, Dianne

1991 Blue Note

Some good American Standards but a few "progressive" jazz riffs make it a little over my top.  This woman can stylize a song very well, I would buy her music again even tho this one is only a 3
