Helmuth Rilling is an excellent conductor and interpreter of Bach's sacred music. Recorded from 1969 to 1985, over a longer period of time than most other sets, there is a lot of change throughout the series. Rilling's recordings are more dense and lush than others, and his tempi are often slower than HIP recordings - no "original instruments" for Rilling. But he creates such a detailed sound-world that any fan of these works should want to hear Rilling's versions to compare with others. This said, Rilling often uses a technique that I find a bit disturbing. He'll have one instrument or group of instruments sequestered to one track, and others on the other track, giving a sound similar to that of early Beatles' stereo mixes, where vocals were on one track and instruments on the other.
For the final performance of the 2018 Summer Tour, Dave Matthews Band returned to the historic Hollywood Bowl for the first time in 6 years. The band was joined by multiple guests over the course of the evening including the addition of a string section for new album standouts such as “Here On Out” and “Come On Come On,” and an augmented horn section for a sweeping “Squirm,” and joyous “Jimi Thing” and “Shake Me Like A Monkey.” Longtime friend and collaborator, Mark Batson, makes an appearance on piano for the live debut of “When I’m Weary” and sticks around for the uplifting “Louisiana Bayou.” No matter what era you prefer your DMB tunes from, this concert has something to offer from "One Sweet World” to “She.” Add this one of a kind night to your music collection!
