Thanks to our friend Ann we get to sit about 8 feet behind the conductor in the second row. The oboe, and the horns maybe even more, were amazingly haunting in the letter scene. It was of course sung in russian, and the translation was qu...

Sorry Romy, the broadcast was early in March, and I missed it too.Tonight I am going to the live performance.I think FMT struggled a bit with the sound this first year.Did you hear any of the Lyric broadcasts?I have been playing my Melodia vinyl with...

So, did anyone find out if this is a complete set? Looks like it on the Amazon sites. And did anyone hear it yet? US Amazon has it as pre-order and Caymen has it in stock (supposedly), for $148.00, but on some French sites the...

Nice to read your thoughts on this subject Paul. My interest at this point is to explore the issue of speed stability in the face of complex music, and its possible effect on congested sound. Is there a relationship? I suspect there...

In an interview on NPR, David Lynch talks about "catching ideas, falling in love with some of them, staying true to the ideas while translating them to the medium of film, and ultimately making the films for the ideas themselves".http://www.npr...

I think Jerry talked about the super slow Shostakovich Violin Concerto No.1, Michael Erxleben violin, Berliner Sinfonie-Orchester, Claus Peter Flor conducting on Berlin Classics 0013732BC. Fantastic performance and sound.Mats...

Shostakovich string quartets have long been favorites of mine as well. For years I listened to them and the Bach cello suites more than any other serious music. I tried to get into the symphonic works but it never seemed as profound...

I agree about the fragility but perhaps less so about "toy like". I am just now hearing for the first time Beethoven's 7th by Nanut and the second movement is very lovely, beautiful, mesmerizing and as the Eroica seemingly well understood...

I don't know why the Berning topic gets everyone so worked up. No need for another ZOTL screaming contest. Is this not a hobby where we explore many solutions? It is a difficult subject technically. I for sure can not speak about th...

Casals writes in his memoir how he came to appreciate the orchestra as the ultimate instrument.Having said that, it is hard for me to imagine, that the command of the Muse to the conductor could ever be communicated thru all those professional musici...

The Richter Sofia HMV arrived just as I was leaving for Stockholm, so somewhere over Newfoundland I got my first taste of what surely must have been a sanitorium concert. Despite the audience's pneumatic suffering I was completely blown a...

Good to hear about your week with Moussorgsky Romy. I came upon a mono Leibowitz / RPO RCA the other day. It has its moments IMHO. There seems also to be a new HMV Richter Sofia recital cd from HMV: http://www.hmv.co.jp/produc...

In listening to the very enjoyable Best of Wiener Philharmoniker cd, the differences in sound on the two Decca tracks from the rest of the discs are quite shocking. On my system the Decca's are especially pleasing . The DG see...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Try to drop the Altec in 400Hz horn down to 1000 Hz -700Hz and arm your Oris with a MD driver with a good lover midrange driver (B&C of whatever you use) You will be able to go away with 4 channels… You have a lot of n...

Hi Romy,
I think my post is a little confusing.
The picture shows all the different drivers
used in these experiments. The Altec in
wood
horn is the constant with the
the 21" bass channel. Then I bridged the ...

Trying to explore the upper bass channel reaching up to a Victor Sierra 360 Hz horn with an Altec 804 with a 4 uF oilcap, I first used my OB Supravox 215, then a B&C 8" woofer in a large BR originally used with EV 15" (the latter not good) ...
