my 6 year old has been my main listening partner since birth. One of my proudest moments as a father is when I put on tchaikovsky's 5th symphony and she said at 4 years old: "it's the Nutcracker guy." She could discern that the same composer created ...

Well, as I said – you never know. I was listing the live Friday WGBH broadcast over internet from my work (very bad quality) and when I got home I listen my recording. The Brahms Double Concerto I did not like, but the Bruckner 7 was very-very good. ...

Thanks you very much Nic. It was alt of B4 this year for us, and this is good. I am not familiar with Stamford Symphony. Have you heard them, are they any good. Do the hall they play is comparable with Bruckner music?...

And evening. This Symphony Orchestra in need of a new conductor plays terrifically well for Salonen -- to impress him I think.For myself I grilled ground sirloin, cooked broccoli with a mint sauce and popped a bottle of '08 Monastrell from "35-60 yea...

I am pretty sure I qualify as a Neanderthal when it comes to Bruckner but I'm listening to his 4th symphony now and find it quite enjoyable. Even my roommate who thought I was listening to movie soundtrack likes it. It's the Herbert von Karajan on DG...

I guess it never occurred to me how special it is to have a stable relationship with a woman with whom you can sit down, discuss yesterday's symphony over a bottle of Bordeaux, and then she tolerates you smoking your pipe by the fire as you read a go...

I know zero about pressings, but the Kleiber DG has "signature series" written on it, not "Privilege". Same thing?Yes, I'd really like to catch something like that live.There will be a Beethoven Symphony #5 performed here in November. Conductor Andre...

Romy,
When you say no good sounding Bruckner LPs do you mean no "great" sounding, or that all Bruckner LPs sonics are average or worse?

Actually I use Koussevitzky 1949 version of Tchaikovsky’s IV (first movement) to assess my mono analog. There is not doubts in my mind that any more or less serious records enthuses much have a dedicated mono cartridge, preferably permanently install...
