Nope is it now what extraterrestrials would love but rather we would be able to offer to them to demonstrate what our Earth Classical Music (let say Western music) is all about.

Yep, the Gorecki 3 is a famous work. There was some controversy

There are many conversations out there about the fact that many music people do not “get” audio. In most cases this is correct. They are many conversations, we had some of them at this site and the reasons of the phenomena that were brought are ...

JP, when I was in Avery Fisher Hall I very much did not like the sound of the Hall. I am not a huge fun of sound of Boston Symphony Hall, despite what people commonly say. However it it not a macro-word of the total Hall sound is what important b...

It begs in interesting question. How much in the tendency of
today musicians to “homogenize” sound and to play with a genetic color might be
attributed that nowadays a recording media is a main avenue how music is consumed
but recording playbacks ...

If you one of those who feel that playback make difference then I do not think that better playing of Bruckner music would require any different playback efforts than an y other better playback. Still, practicing “better playback” and loving t...
