| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert Again in complete agreement with you Len, LvB string quartets no other comes near t hem I think especially the late ones. I love the last three esp. Op.127 and who cannot but admire the Grosse Fugue which if played to someone who... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert Len, I do agree with you regarding Haydn that his symphonies are just as great as Mozart and some of them more so. I would rather listen to Haydn than Mozart any day of the week. Haydn piano sonatas are rated greater than Mozart to ... | |
| Do you, or did you, have Audiophile buddies that you shared music, gear, times with? I have a friend and buddy who I share music and Hi Fi with and we even were each others best man at our weddings. I really can't picture life without him now as we are getting on a bit and I would hate to lose him. We see each other a couple of ti... | |
| Recommendations for next headphone I have not long purchased the Luxman P-750u Head amp and I am just stunned by it. I purchased it about two months ago when my Sennheiser Amp went out on the right channel and it was going to cost quite a bit to fix and anyway I never did like the ... | |
| What have you liked in these works.... Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue - YouTube just pop that into you tube and that should be you sorted. Enjoy. Regards, jim. | |
| What have you liked in these works.... Not SACD I'm afraid but a stream Gershwin Rhapsody , my favourite happens to by Benjamin Grosvener the young English pianist in a superb rendition of it. | |
| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ Forgive me as I may be preaching to the choir here but have you given it time to settle in as big things like that can take a fair time. I would recommend at least a couple of hundred hours. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @rvpiano I take your point RV about Pogorelich and his technique when young he had a superb technique as witnessed by his Scarlatti Sonatas . They were fabulous tests for him and he left them withered and burnt-out behind him. Of course he didn... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados RV. Have you tried Arrau in the Fantasy , I have never heard a more poetic Clara Theme than this the piano tone at times is Orgiastic , forgive me but it is the only way I can describe it. You sure do know that Robert loved his Clara. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Johnathan , I really do love Arrau in Schumann but the sound on some of the recordings are less than sensitive to his piano tone. The Etudes are wonderful other than the piano tone. It's a pity he was getting on a bit when digital recording techni... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @rvpiano Thanks for the two that you like RV I shall find them and have a listen although I have always found their interpretations of other things by them to be a like it or leave it for me. It's a real shame now to hear Pogorelich and his new r... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @ei001h My favourite in Schumann's Etudes Symphoniques is Mikhail Pletnev although not for everyone pianistically and musically his interpretation goes down to my very core and he seems to hit parts of me that few others do. Heard him in recita... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @maghister Re Barbosa, I have listened to his recordings of the Mazurkas and I really enjoyed them .His rubatos are beautiful and unhurried with a superb technique. I did know of him because he was a pupil of Arrau’s but sad to say I had never lo... | |
