I have only fuzzy notions about what sort of audio (if any) gets others going these days.
Paul,
Since almost everything these days is being mixed and mastered for the mobile dev...

Wojtek,
I'll see your low res old Spendors and raise it with my beloved 8 track tape player in the car! I do have pretty decent tonally balanced rear speakers though.

Romy,
We all know that with audio it is rarely an all or none matter. I have no problem with venue recording, i.e. not in a studio but obviously the musicians, the engineers and the masterers can mess things up. With respect to...

Well I tried to give my explanation whether it convinces anyone. I think it is basically due to jamming a large orchestra into that church given its particular layout. I will have to get the CD to do a comparison with the video. It does have a pleas...

The only Wand Bruckner LP set was on Deutsche Harmonia Mundi in the late 80s. I have some of those LPs. There was also a box set of the Symphonies. They were all with the Cologne Orchestra though.(Kolner Rundfunk Sinfonie)

Nice musical performance. My take on it (listening on Sennheiser headphones) is that there is a bit of extra bass reinforcement, not only because of the close seating but also the rather reflective, slightly curved backdrop right behind the musicians...

Yikes the orchestra is really jammed in there. There is no space behind them and a few spill out to the left side. The audience is similarly pushed right up next to Wand and the orchestra. No wonder this has unusual sonics. In 1987 there would...

Paul,
I am attaching the link of the video so you can see for yourself. Apparently it is one of the longest churches at 132 meters. I can believe that this place would have a different reverb pattern than the usual space. But aga...

The only recording I see for a Wand Sym 8 1987 NDR recording is a live performance in the Lubeck cathedral. I could only find one video of the cathedral interior. It looks very long with immensely high ceilings but relatively narrow. I was tryin...

I'm a bit unclear if the discussion is centered around deep bass on recordings or live in concert halls as well? The problem of deep bass (low organ notes or synthesizers below 30 Hz) is that they vibrate the room. In a concert hall there is no discr...

My understanding there is that at a very early date (~ 1957-58) RVG used fold downs from the stereo mix to create the mono mix. I'd have to research which LP was the "last" true Mono mix. So it was not secret stereo but fold down Mono. As for your me...

My thought would be try things out on his studio albums from 1960- 72 or so. Once you get to "Live" recordings in the pop field it is anyone's guess what they did including recording in the studio and adding reverb and crowd noise. Or translate to w...

Paul S,
I think per the above 5 page discussion, this is very far from the usual get this component and hookup here or modify components this way. So i don't see any generic solution being advanced that is at the level of this p...

Paul,
Just a style point with me. If I am responding specifically to someone I will either start with their name or include a quote. So my comment was intended to the Hypothetical Other to support the mention of Hurwitz as a commenter but jus...
|
|
i have respect for Hurwitz particularly when he advocates for the lesser known but musically excellent compositions of prior eras. When it comes to the mainstream repertoire I think people just need to find their own way through it....

Just out of curiosity does anyone else but me like the Stokowski performance of the Tchaikovsky Sym 4. It first appeared on a Vanguard LP with the American Symphony which I assume was an alias for the NY Phil players slumming but maybe someone knows ...

Paul S,
OMG I had no idea of your health problems. My visits here have been more sporadic lately and I missed prior posts obviously. Thank heavens you are still able to enjoy music. I certainly hope 2025 will get you on the mend.

Mahler is the first audiophile composer. How true!...
|
|
This is by far my favorite Tchaikovsky symphony. Interestingly, IMO there are far more outstanding performances of his Pathetique or even the Sym 5 than his Sym 4. His first 3 symphonies are almost always performed even more poorly, so I suppose the ...

[quote user="dady"] When we say that Bruckner is better or worse than Mahler, we are making a comparison of two different currents, Mahler is the inexorable continuation of Wagner, it is possible that in another period of my life I would not hav...

Somehow, mention of “Musical Potency” has gotten buried
in thread after thread, even those that started with the idea of laying it out for
discussion in Going back to Bruckner (though one might say, Mahler),
one simply ne...

About 20 years ago Stereophile had a short article about a custom horn speaker system in the San Francisco area funded by a richie rich audiophile. They showed a picture of his system in a warehouse with humongous bass horn speakers far larger than p...

[quote user="Paul S"]Steve, if you have the MR-67 I suppose it means you wanted that "FM Sound Quality" with your FM? Is it programming, broadcast quality, reception, or some combination that's the problem, or are you simply happy with streaming thes...

As many readers of my site know that I am a huge supporter of FM.... while I had a reasonably good FM broadcasting my city. It was drastically changed somewhere at 2011 - 2012. My main classical station was given ...

[quote user="rowuk"]Germans still define music as "E"-Musik or "U"-Musik. E is for "Ernst" or serious/ernest and U is for "Unterhaltung" or entertainment. Funny enough Jazz falls und "E".[/quote]Although Jazz didn't start out serious there is no ques...

Of course in his lifetime people only wanted to hear Bruckner playing the pipe organ and particularly his improvisations!...

The conversation here was about composers who were influenced by Anton Bruckner's music, so I actually started the conversation in this thread. Your posts had absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic obviously as even you admitted. There is no...
