| Suggested Recording of Korngold Violin Concerto? Thanks for that suggestion--I listened to some of it on youtube and it seems to be a fine recording. However, the violin seems a bit further back in the mix than I would like. I might go with the Perlman version (which may have the solosit a bit... | |
| What are your notes and thoughts on The Beatles White Album Giles Martin remaster? I'm quite satisfied with the remastered version of the original mix from a couple of years ago. I may or may not plop down more money for a version that may or may not be superior to that one. | |
| Bright or Dim? Obviously it's because the light waves interfere with the sound waves. | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? Jerry worked well for Mahavishnu 1 but I don't think of him as a jazz musician--more a rocker who was able to fit into the M. Orch. fusion scheme. J-LP was already a jazz player with modern leanings when he played with McLaughlin. If you look at... | |
| Your Favorite Holiday Album +1 for Elvis. There are others I like, but if I only listen to one it is Elvis'.I simply HAVE to hear Blue Christmas (track 1) every year or I just might die. | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? I listen to more classical violin than jazz violin, but it's a stacked deck--there are so many more classical violinists to choose from and only a handful of jazzers. Still, I regard Stephane Grapelli as an important player of his time and Jean-L... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? I've got 4 local listener-supported stations that I usually hit before I resort to the commercial airwaves, so I don't hear the classic rock over-saturation enough to care. But I get where you're coming from. | |
| Your favourite Christmas song....... slow: The Christmas Song, Nat King Colefast: Jingle Bell Rock, Randy Travis (if you haven't heard this, check it out) | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? markmendenhall, Albert Collins played a Telecaster (through a Fender Twin Reverb with the treble on 10 and the bass on 0--it was beyond piercing). | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? +1 for Redd Volkaert. As far as I know he just does covers (I've heard him many times, so I presume that's the case) but he manhandles a telecaster like nobody else. And it's rarely mentioned but he has a great baritone voice. I'm hoping to see... | |
| Carpenters rpeluso, I'm sure you can still get the original mixes. I would trust Richard Carpenter to remix the tracks in a way that is faithful to the original intent while taking advantage of modern technology. | |
| Sarasate Suggestion Shadorne, they were ALL child prodigies. And, FWIW, I like Mutter's playing very much. | |
| Bach Double Violin Concerto there's a vinyl CD of David and Igor Oistrakh playing that piece. There's also two movements (II and III) of them playing that same piece available on video. I haven't heard the LP but the live performance on video is very good. | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? A Hard Day’s Night (Beatles, UK Stereo)Pet Sounds (Beach Boys, 90’s stereo mix)The Inner Mounting Flame (Mahavishnu Orchestra)Goldberg Variations (Bach/Glenn Gould, 1981 ) Late Quartets (Beethoven/Guarneri Quartet) | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? All things considered, I think CCR for several reasons, including their diverse American influences and their crossover appeal. I'm pretty sure a lot of country and soul/R&B fans gave them "thumbs up" and some even bought their records.If lon... |
