Never heard it before but what the work it is!!!
I have to admit that the Corigliano’s work is not something that usually goes into my definition of beautiful concerto. It is a typical Shostakovich-like “vulgar” and brutal music but even with ...

Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

[quote user="JANDL100"] The Barbirolli / VPO Brahms 4 is waaaay too slow for me though - I just cannot get into the music when it's played that way. I do like some "slow" classics though - I love the way Celibidace slows a lot of music do...

Guys,
You really misunderstood this CD. This is just a compilation of GOOD MUSIC well performed and interpreted and it has nothing to do with audio. For instance now of my compilations CDs I ever played on my playback. Those CDs are good enough for ...
