| Can you recommend some classical CD's for me? One more Pablo Casals, the sound quality may not be all there but the playing is on a level few have equaled in my hearing and others may be different but not better. I came across a copy of "Homage to Pablo Casals The great Prades and Perpignan F... | |
| Can you recommend some classical CD's for me? Steven Isserlis has a Saint-Saens disc on redbook that has the 2nd cello concerto and the 2nd cello sonata plus Joshua Bell on one piece. He also has a redbook CD called Cello World that does have some but not a lot of vocals. If your are familiar... | |
| Is there any bad sounding high-end gear--? 1990-2000 was also before home theater really beat audio into near submission, so good time frame. | |
| Voice. Most powerful and natural instrument. Handel probably more than any other opera composer I've heard used the voice as an instrument, competing and complementing other instruments in their settings, especially in Julius Caesar. | |
| Impulse Records spine colors? Orange/Pink/Red? Brianw has a good answer but it could also be sun damage | |
| Voice. Most powerful and natural instrument. Try and imagine the Doors without Jim Morrison.Voice can, rarely does, but can carry the show. Is opera natural singing? If so what some, say, Placido Domingo can/could do is enough to move you just by the voice.How many great songs have been made... | |
| are all used LPs dusty? Quite often YES. A record cleaning machine or regime of some sort is a must even for new records, check the archives, there is plenty of info there | |
| Pictures At An Exhibition CD The best recording in my view is also one of the more primitive recordings going back to 1958 in Sofia, the pianist Sviatoslav Richter. There may be more pleasingly recorded versions I am not sure there is a better played version. Also available o... | |
| Is it wrong? Anything that brings joy to someone without bringing harm to another is worth doing. Enjoy! | |
| Danny Boy - Recommendations For just the instrumental Leonard Slatkin with the Saint Louis Symphony has a nice SACD or CD out with Percy Grainger's Irish Tune from County Derry (Danny Boy) along with Tchaikovsky's Serenade for strings, Pachelebl's Canon, Vaughn William's Fan... | |
| Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system? I replaced my red dawn with the SPM and have not looked back. Why not just try changing out the Red Dawn and see what that does, it could also be cheaper. | |
| Songs that Inspire or Move you Carmen McRae singing "Who gave you permission" on the album I am Music. Great over, back in the day when you could both smoke and drink, who knew? | |
| Tube Preamp suggestion for the uninitiated I don't know that you have to spend more than $50 but if you did I would suggest Nordost's Red Dawn, they are available used for about 150-220 on average. I enjoy Nordost with tube equipment especially as they seem to provide some edge or speed th... | |
| Tube Preamp suggestion for the uninitiated Look up in the archives for views on the Conrad-Johnson PV 10, various, PV 11 with or without phono or PV 12 with or without phono. Formerly owned the PV 11. All of these should be about 1,000. or less. All good products. | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave From a different perspective. Talking about treble say from 15k to 20+khz is difficult. No matter how high you turn up those frequencies you can't feel them as you can with 20 to 60 hertz bass. Also many people can't hear them, which is why there ... |
