| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador Jeremy while I am listening to it I shall tell you what, it's Mariam Batsishvili and she is playing Liszt and Chopin pieces and she is mesmerising. I know it is no use mentioning to @Schubert and @rvpiano as they hate all things ... | |
| Are you Beethoven or Mozart? I have to say Beethoven if I were picking between Mozart and Beethoven. his music is more dramatic and I finish listening with the feeling that there was not a single superfluous note in the work. But I do have to say that Bach in my mind beats th... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador Jeremy if you want to hear a really great guitarist then find on you tube Martin Taylor, I can only say what he does on a guitar defies belief. He plays jazz guitar but I got over that hurdle very quickly. I have seen him personally 5... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Jeremy , I listened to the Beamer guitar and yes it does have a nice sweet tone but I did find the playing a wee bit "Twee" | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Yes Jeremy you are right about the steel string guitars , but I had them as I liked to play many styles of guitar music as well as the classical . One of my favourite things to do was capo three frets up and play lute music on the steel stringed i... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Thank you Len that is very kind of you. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador Hi Jeremy those were interesting links you sent , I just wish I could buy a 4 Terabytebyte SSD for $449.00. I have a Samsung 1 Terabytebyte drive I bought over here for nearly £400.00 ( my wife thought I was stark raving Bonkers ). ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @phomchickMusic stored on and retrieved from an SSD will sound exactly the same as music stored on and retrieved from an HDD.I am sorry but I beg to differ on your statement as I have found the complete opposite to be true. I think the difference ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert Len , I am glad you like Volodos doing the late Brahms I love that Recording especially the Intermezzos. The gradations of colour he pulls out of a percussive device like a piano is nothing short of a miracle. His whole approach to... | |
