| Top 5 Classical recordings Hi Devilboy, try Ivan Moravec's Chopin Nocturnes. Fantastic. | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings agree with Mrtennis. attempting to compile a "best of" list for a multifaceted genre spanning several hundred years is a total exercise in futility.Bach is indeed one of the greatest composers - certainly during the Baroque period & also in th... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings no doubt there are some classical music experts amongst the many audiophiles on this forum, but... wouldn't it be a lot easier to visit some classical music forums?? | |
| Micro Seiki RX-5000 - All Switchable 110v & 220v? hi bluewolf.i do believe the RY-5500 motor (which accompanies the RX5000 table) to be voltage specific.i've seen motors which have been modified for a different AC voltage, but an easier solution would be a step-up/step-down.the RX5000 is a nice t... | |
| Furtwangler's 9th on Arkipel. Yes. I've never gotten into the 4th movement... Perhaps it's just too overplayed, or maybe it's a German-opera thing?! (i've several Wagner Ring cycles - 2 by Solti, & another by Böhm, but also can't seem to muster the patience to finish each ... | |
| Furtwangler's 9th on Arkipel. hi Rok2id, your "hype & much ado about nothing" remark is interesting since it seems more befitting the SACD, DVD-A & other proprietary hi-res formats (but this is an entirely different discussion). | |
| Furtwangler's 9th on Arkipel. depends if one places greater weight on performance or recording/mastering/sonic quality. uninspired performances typically put me to Zzzzzz (even if they're being performed live), so i'd always go with interesting & inspired performances.the ... | |
| Furtwangler's 9th on Arkipel. Try Furtwangler's AMAZING 1942 (wartime) LvB 9th with BPO. The recording's sonics are simply horrendous, but the performance's sense of anticipation, intensity/ferocity, & emotional impact is absolutely 2nd to none.I'd also highly recommend Fu... | |
| beethoven piano concerto try Rudolf Serkin/Rafael Kubelik/Bayerishchen Rundfunks LvB piano concerto cycle (Orfeo 1977). nice (stereo) sonics & performance (but not as special as my other 2 recommendations).other LvB piano concertos cycles which aren't quite as "moving... | |
| beethoven piano concerto i'd also highly recommend Wilhelm Kempff/Paul van Kempen/BPO (DGG 1957) for LvB's Piano Concerto cycle. it's another mono recording (as Gilels/Ludwig/Philharmonia Orchestra), but the performance is simply spectacular. | |
| beethoven piano concerto try Emil Gilels/Leopold Ludwig/Philharmonia Orchestra in #4 & #5 (EMI, recorded 1958 & 1957). remains my favorite of all... especially #4. | |
| Latest new generation Lyra hi Jonathan,wishing you a Happy New Year!was wondering if you plan to make an "SL" version of the Atlas. if so, which version would you recommend to use with your (latest) Connoisseur 4-2P SE?B.rgds,A.S. | |
| Too Many Tubes? tube rolling & DSP are fundamentally different in that tubes may hv additive or subtractive characteristics in specific freq ranges, but they do not introduce addt'l layers of circuitry, s/ware algorithm, &/or other forms of complexity acr... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Dpe / Charles1dad,i didn't feel the Kondo+Horning pairing to be euphoric in timbre (tube rolling would address this), but rather in presentation. it was generally a tad echoey for my tastes (i.e. many recordings sound like they were done in a larg... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? i've been using a pair of Eufrodites' in my 2nd system for a few years.used to drive them with a 211 based SET (Kondo Ongaku) but felt the combination to be overly euphoric. i've since been using 6c33 based SET amps (Lamm ML2.1). timing & gene... |
