Today WGBH broadcasted Antonio Pappano leading Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 2 with a Korean cellist Han-Na Chang. I never head this girl and I had no idea what to expect. Anyhow, it was superb performance. Han-Na ...

I'd still like to find that store, it was kind of cozy and entertaining to browse. I don't know how I lost the link and why I stopped checking it. My bad. Maybe it doesn't exist already.I got a fake copy XRCD of a jazz album at Amazon. I try being ca...

Shostakovich string quartets have long been favorites of mine as well. For years I listened to them and the Bach cello suites more than any other serious music. I tried to get into the symphonic works but it never seemed as profound...

Well, glad to hear you are starting to 'get' Shostakovich, Romy. He has been one of my very favourite composers for many years. The 10th is my fave DSCH symphony - I have 10 recordings in my collection. I don't hav...

As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...

Thank, Okan.
I will be there. Any good concert in Mechanics Hall worth to attend even under a penalty of two hours of driving.
This might be very much an interesting consent. The State Symphony of Russia use to be the main state sponsored symphony ...

Chris,I wonder what your like in the Quads, the actual performance of the loudspeaker or the way in which those delay lines shape the front of the attack wave? Anyhow I thin to mention the Quad in the Vitavox S2 thread would not be ethical… :-)...

[quote user="HDTT"]I beg to differ with Romys assesment of my signature sound, one thing I found out is people are very,very different in what they like and dislike. An example is a "quote" reviewer (which will remain nameless) did not like my Stravi...

The new Super Milq is running for a days, amplifying burn-in tracks; the MF channel is loaded to 12R resistor. After a couple days of disgust even to look at the amp I decide to see tonight what happening with sound now and to my surprise Sound did c...

Hm, I did not know that they spited the file on two halfs. I presume that it was their “catch”. Immediately uninstall the software they made you to download and run the intrusion detection procedures on your PC.
The Sound you heard on Schumann Conce...

[quote user="mats"]I agree about the fragility but perhaps less so about "toy like". I am just now hearing for the first time Beethoven's 7th by Nanut and the second movement is very lovely, beautiful, mesmerizing and as the Eroica seemingly well und...

Unquestionably to me, piano concertos are the very much The Concertos for an instrument and orchestras. My second favorite is Cello Concertos. The violin concertos are popular and they great but I frequently find that they might be annoying, particul...

This past weekend I was able to have an extended listen to the revised Melchiades amplifers. My previous listening session left something to be desired with midbass punch and dynamics. Had I not have heard mini me it may not have been noticeable. ...

It is amazing how much lives in the FM broadcasts. Just now the WHRB transmitted in their “Tuesday-Thursday ’s Nights” the Radio Amsterdam’s broadcast of the Royal Concertgebouw with Bernard Natick played the Debussy’s “La Mer” and Shostakovich’s 8Th...

yeah, Argerich and Abbado have a certain chemistry together ... I think they go way back, if I'm not mistaken they went to school together ... and I think Abbado did study the piano there as well.
Gergiev??? I enjoy his interpretations. To me ...

Sure, those, “events” around musical performance have HUGE affect to the musicians and I in fact LOVE to collect stories about them. What could be more “interesting” from a perspective of “anxiety” then for instance the Tanglewood performance of Shos...

Romy, there is a project to reissue all of Svetlanov's recordings. Eventually, I hope, this project will make available the recording of the cello concerto by Natalia Gutman, which IMO is better than any of the recordings by Rostropovich.I do not kno...

Ah electrostats...I am fairly sure that problem with esls is trying to take them down to low and them not being driven properly. If you actually calculate how much current you need to drive transient peaks into an ESL, it's horrifying. I can't imagin...

Sitting in my couch, smoking my cigar, playing Shostakovich quartets and studying my new P&S agreement I discover that it will be sad to lose this listening room. This room is small but such a capable and able for such such intimate sound tha...

A ‘solution” was brewing in my mind: that “they” need would be moves. I think the cinematographers and are classical music promoters are loosing whole point in here. Classical music propagandists keep bitching that the classical music is loosing mark...

[quote user="amperidian"] To me Russian music is not about joy and musicality (unless you specifically consider Tchaikovsky), but instead it tends to portray the bleak and tragic history of that nation and the iron will that was forged through it.&nb...
