Thanks frogman for this very interesting article about musicians who are music itself... All composers are first and last musician who could "interpret" their own work but any work of genius exceed his creator...They can interpret their own work ...

First, the awakening of the soul is that: an awakening of the self consciousness...Then Gebser never said that the soul  did not exist before homo sapiens but that it awake to new dimension of self reflection. If you doubt  even the soul could ex...

i like deep experience in books as in music... But like everyone i read sometimes a novel or a biography for a relaxing lecture pleasure...  All the jazz i listen to is not deep music...   What I am hearing you say, @mahgister, is that you li...

 We are on the same page about this... For me also, there no relationship between genius and chronolectal time.  What about Sorabji or Scriabin ?  Are they predictible ? And how Gesualdo could be predictable ?    I learned how to appreciate...

Overall, I would say Moravec for power, Michelangeli for precision, Entremont for lyricism, What you call power , i call expression; and expressive power is the main thing in playing as "timbre perception" is the main thing in audio, not detail...

My favorite piece of Debussy was the first i heard by Moravec: "la cathédrale engloutie"... I was stunned... I was able to see the cathédrale emerging from the ocean deep sans : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlDyXZ74kf0&list=RDPlDyXZ74kf0...

For Debussy i never pay any attention to him... Till i listened him played by "the pianist of pianists" Ivan Moravec ...Then i understood... Listen to "feux d’artifice" by Bavouzet and then Moravec and pick the one who moves you... For me it is...

Jazz for aficionados
@mahgister  I was lucky to witness the Big Band play live in the mid seventies, although at that point, I'd only recently begun my exploration of Jazz.  If I could hear them now, I suspect I’d get more out of the experience.    Lucky you! ...

Monteverdi as Gesualdo as Scriabin are not something we catch on the spot ... They are an acquired taste even for those who liked them at first listening... They are expressive artists on a high level, Gesualdo is almost more "modern" than most ...

AliExpress order issues
Weird thing is, I didn't get a tracking number, just those vague 'this is where your package is now' emails. And I couldn't make any headway on their site. I'll give it another shot, see what happens... it is not evident to navigate their  site...
