Post Subject: It would be more demanding… Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/13/2007
Well, I do not know what this conversation is all about. Anyhow, one point I would like to make – try to plug it into the context of the thread. It is very simple to run Sheffield’s Leinsdorf "Valkerie" and to “like” bass and dynamics. The REAL really is different. The real dynamic capacity of a passive preamps couldn’t be observed on the Sheffield blockbusters but in more complicated things. A low volume, low dynamic lever, a lot of ambiance and… here is where you need as much bass and as much dynamic as you can get. Listen for masking of rhythms and for the amplitude of pronunciations. The accent of beat, the little punch-line where it is appropriate - here is where the real dynamics at works. Try to “get dynamics” in Shostakovich quarters instead of the Mahler symphonies.
