| Need a Recommendation for Classical Cello... I think what you're looking for are probably some of the best cello concertos (cello with orchestra) or cello sonatas (cello with piano), not unaccompanied cello, because just about the only pieces for unaccompanied cello are the Bach suites that ... | |
| purchased the firebird on deutsche grammophon Alpass, I'm assuming that it's the Boulez recording on DG that you have and like so much, right? If so, I can recommend the Boulez/Cleveland Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) and Petrouchka on DG, recorded in 1991. The sound is fine and the p... | |
| purchased the firebird on deutsche grammophon 4D is DG's name for their improved digital recording process which they began using about 1992 (it's standard redbook CD). I used to think their sound was generally pretty mediocre, but since about 1992 it's gotten a whole lot better. Just about a... | |
| Best Guitar CD Recording For something different, try Guitar Workshop, Volume One, on the British Transatlantic/Castle label (CD and LP). This is a British analog recording from 1972/73 and has the best guitar sound I've ever heard. It's also a lot of fun and offers great... | |

Arkiv Music is one of the very best sources for classical recordings, and their website is unusually comprehensive. (If it's classical and they don't have... | |

| music to wake up vandy 5a subs Check out the thread here on organ recordings with really deep bass. Nothing has deeper bass than a large pipe organ: a 16-foot pedal pipe produces a fundamental of 32 Hz, and a 32-foot pedal pipe produces a fundamental of 16 Hz. These babies are ... | |
| Organ CDs with really deep bass I agree with Rcprince about the RR CD "Felix Hell--Organ Sensation." (I think he's the one who turned me on to this CD.) Felix is terrific and so is the recording. On some systems this one may seem to have almost too much deep bass. Another one I ... | |
| Maggie 1.6 vs Von Schweikert VR 4 Sorry, but all of you are wrong. The ultimate speakers are not planars, and they are not point-source speakers (no matter how good they are). The ultimate speakers are very large line sources. Once you've lived with them for a few months, you can ... | |
| Which version of Bottesini Concerto 2 in b minor? Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889) was a composer, conductor, and player whose instrument was the double bass. He's just about the only composer who wrote a significant amount of music for that instrument, so he is the patron saint and favorite compos... | |
