| Classical Music for Aficionados I listened to Jascha Horenstein conduct Brahms3 with the Southwestern German Orchestra. On a Pristine Audio restoration of a late mono era Vox recording. I’ve had the Vox for years though I haven’t played it that often. The Pristine enhancement ... | |
| Bob Seger live albums I grew up in Detroit. Seeger actually played at a Bar Mitzvah I attended as a 13 year old when he and his band were at a low point. A few years later after still failing to catch on nationally he released Live Bullet. To me the vibe of this alb... | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto @melm I heard Weilerstein and the Czech PO perform the piece in Chicago, with Bychkov conducting, as Behlolavak had passed away. Aural memories can fail us, but I think the Decca recording is very faithful to a concert perspective . Starker ha... | |
| Britney Spears Or a duet with Paul McCartney “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?” | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto I couldn’t remember the name of the WDR before…thank you for jogging the memory bank. @melm i couldn’t tell if your comment was serious or questioning. I will say that the newish Weilerstein will take a lot to beat in the Sonics department. De... | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto As I understand it there are 2 major Orchestras in Cologne. One is the Gurzenich Orchestra, and the other has I think undergone a name change in the relatively recent past. Then of course there are he Period Groups, such as Musica Antiqua Koln a... | |

| U2 live. Music realism I like Volcano | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto I have the Mercury Starker, both in SACD and in stereo from one of the big Mercury box reissues. It is hugely enjoyable. Ultimately I prefer players with a bigger tone, such as Gendron and Weilerstein | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto Gastinel seems to have recorded a lot but Qobuz doesn’t list a Dvorak recording. And as for Gendron, Qobuz lists the Rostropovich/Richter Beethoven Sonata set under his name | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto I didn’t realize that Gendron had made those other recordings. I had worked in a record store in Ann Arbor in college that claimed to carry every recording in print and could scarcely find any Gendron but I ought to try that newfangled Internet. ... | |
| How can I add MQA decoding with my current setup? I spent a couple of hours at my dealer listening to several recordings that I knew really well with Roon and MQA. I was very familiar with all of the equipment used except the amplification, which was McIntosh. There were 2 pieces where I slight... | |
| Multi-Channel Integrated? OP poses an interesting question that I have wondered about myself. In theory the only difference between a multichannel integrated and AVR is the presence of an analog tuner in the AVR. Streamers usually handle the Internet Radio end of things ... | |
