Wow, the Definitive Audio is half hours away from London, this is good news. I did look at Google and it said 2.45 Hours but I might look some at something different. We probable will be staging near Royal Abler Hall, which is center city. We are ver...

So I played Bach. Right now I am playing the very respectable Richter performances of The Well Tempered Clavier Book 1 with a cup of very nice Earl Gray. Life is good...now. I played earlier the disgusting Zenph ...

I listened to some of the samples of "Bach Reflections," their only (somewhat) classical album, on my computer. My reaction is that, arrangement- and performance-wise, it would make excellent elevator music in something like a Marriott Hotel.I canno...

With another winter blizzard in progress here in Boston, I decided to listen to Pablo Casals playing the Bach cello suites. It seems suitable while watching the snow pile up on my window sill. Eric Silbin in his examination of the cello suites as pla...

Yo-yo Ma will be playing Bach solo cello suites for 2.5 hours starting in a few minutes (noon Pacific Daylight Time in North America.) He has a YouTube channel and it is also carried on the website kusc.org and maybe elsewhere. I don't know what the ...

Good thought. Bach's music is like a model universe with it's own hell and heaven. And I can't figure out which is primary or secondary. Bach was the first composer who invented polyphony which reminds distant whisper of a rain drops. With ...

“Rather cleverly, festival director Alex Poots has brought the baroque bang up to date by commissioning a new concert space specifically for the performance of the great German composer. The architect he chose is that most radical of thinkers Zah...

Almost one year passed since I first saw these pictures and quite frequently I've been thinking about the question. Some pieces were quite close, but not entirely like that. Some Bach... even Wagner, but not really. Finally today I've listened t...

Hey, Guy.
The pre-Baltic countries are a nice place to be – quite interesting people in there, although thier women behave like they just were taken out of a freezer. :-) They kind of facially less-reactive and less-responsive than the girls-souther...

I think the recorder has a split personality. At the lowest level it is one of the easiest instruments for kids to learn to play, often used in schools, usually with very cheap plastic instruments.At the opposite end it is one of the hardest instrum...

Sorry but I couldn't get to the article through all the ads and surveys and wait screens. Musicians will more or less adapt to any tuning system thrown at them. Or course those that can "cheat" because of the construction of their instruments (eg fre...

You only need the first two notes and you know that this is WONDERFUL Bach.Rony, what is your "bitch" with Ophélies playing? I do not need always a "hysterically" correct reading or the virtuoso showing off everything they can.What I like about her p...

I never hear Ophelie Gaillard but am always am open for new takes on Bach. If you would like to try something different then you might try what I have been listening for the last few months – viola rendition of the suites. Viola is kind of shadowy in...

I think the true definition of good enough is not located in

[quote user="noviygera"]… but do not mount those woofers behind your listening position. I tried that and it's tonally good but it's confusing as hell to the brain even if crossed over 80-100hz, still confusing. Put them in front or on sides, where t...

Hi RomyHeifetz as sex with a marble woman - yes, exactly! Everything is perfect but without any emotional response. I am sure that the recorded sound he was usually given does not help - thin, scrawny & screechy - while rep...

When I first heard Scarlatti on a harpsichord it was a revelation. I found the tone, in its attack, to be almost like that of an electric guitar, and very energetic. I do not know to what degree this is inherent to the instrument, or how Scarlatti us...
