| Classical Music for Aficionados I was greatly saddened to hear of his death, he truly was a great pianist. | |
| Would your familiarity with the music played effect your test performance? Absolutely, I love classical music and can't get my head around most of the other genres , therefor I can hear much more nuances between the instruments and the airspace around them making testing far easier. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I like both Stirling and Perth Len with a little preference because of the historical side of things. The Scottish kings had their power base in Stirling castle till Mary Queen of Scots went to Edinburgh to try and get away from the Presbyterians ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Thank you for the post Len the music was very nice. It is just a pity folk singers can't be a bit more imaginative with their guitar accompaniments though, it's always the same old DADGAD tuning that gets trotted out. I used to go to a folk club i... | |
| Thoughts on JRiver Media Center? Anyone using it? I use J Play as a music player. It is very basic with no frills but on sound quality alone it trounces both J River and Roon. You don't have to keep renewing it either. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados +2 for @schubert Len knows his stuff !! | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Gabetta is a first class cellist if a little wayward, I heard her in a Proms about 3 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed her so I’m looking forward to tomorrow. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert Hi Len, I've just this minute logged on and found your posts. I promise to check tomorrow and get back to you as it's nearly time for bed over here . I love the Haydn C Major concerto, one of the nicest ever written and for me de... | |
| how would you describe a system that is musical in nature coloured !! | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Just listening to Daniil Triffonov's new Bach recording on Qobuz , my his fingers can fly. It's very impressive and thought provoking, but doesn't plumb the depths if you know what i mean . That said it's very enjoyable. |
