| Borodin String Qtt 2 Tostadosunidos I've often heard that many composers have done some of their finest work in quartet format. Apparently it is challenging as only 4 instruments allows an easier 'microscopic' view of the intricacy of interplay and nuance. I thoroughl... | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Brownsfan I still vividly remember listening to a very evocative version of Bach's St Mathews Passion on vinyl(which I still have but haven't looked at since) one Easter in the mid 90's. Suffice to say I was fully absorbed and amazed at Bach's dep... | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Christian, I hope you like it. I'm comparing it with another by the St Petersberg Quartet suggested by Schubert above. We'll have something to discuss. | |
| classical music source I'm with Larry and Daverz; even though I have a large record collection, excellent turntable and am still buying and listening to classical records. CD's make it easier to listen (once you managed to get realistic sound out of your cd reproduction... | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Thanks very much Daverz. Wow; only $10 including shipping! A gift. And thanks to you I've learned the Decca Eloquence label from Australia is very well regarded for re-issues. Yay. | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Very interesting Tubegroover. I will definitely seek that recording as I am a huge Academy fan; would probably buy most anything they record. It will be interesting to hear the horn contribution. My first listen to the String Qt #2 made me immedia... | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Christian I too would never have sought out Borodin but I'm very glad for the exposure and having really enjoyed this piece I will seek out more of his work. Looking him up reveals he is a rather famous member of THE FIVE (composers) also known as... | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Tostadosunidos I'm with you... another quartet nut. I find a lot of personality and musicality in quartets that I didn't know the composer had in him from his larger works. Often very delightful intimate glimpses with interesting inventiveness. | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 I understand Schubert. Thanks for mentioning the St Petersberg Qt issue on Dorian. I will enjoy comparing versions. By the way Dorian was bought by SONO LUMINUS which is a label started by the founders of Cisco. Now distributed under Naxos. I have... | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Thanks Brownsfan for your considerate reply. Chamber music is my favorite, followed by solo instrument and smaller ensembles. I like to be able to hear the interplay. I see it would have been much more appropriate to just talk of the music. Point ... | |
| Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice PS.You can make a wise speaker(s) choice buying quality mains with limited low frequency (particularly under 70/80 cps/hz). Buy 2 powered subs with 8- 10 inch woofers maximum and plan to crossover between 80-120, using variable roll off/cut off po... | |
| Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice LOUD means you will want room treatment to make it enjoyable.It would be helpful if you provide an estimate of how you think you might allocate your funds.Put your estimate of value for speakers, amp, cables including powercords, ac isolation/cond... | |
| Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice Google "constructing a listening room" You'll note dimensions are where some companies start--but--you have stated your dimensions-so work with them. Don't make the room smaller for better dimension sake - use techniques to maximize the sound from... | |
| do i change the preamp or the speakers? First-experiment with ac power isolation and conditioning. You can't know the true sound available from what you have without it. | |
| Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice What equipment are you replacing? Why? What will you pay Rives? If you are building a 12 x 18 room - Rives or any other room designer is, in my opinion, of less value to your enjoyment than spending a like amount of money on better equipment optio... |
