I have mentioned this performance above. It is a studio recoding where ...

I do not do anything with my Opera Room, and I am not sure if I will. Still, from time to time I pick from the tree of possibilities some very kinky fruits. My love to Mussurgsky is know and last weekend I visited my local audio guy who has a very go...

Romy,If you do hire Mr. Robbins then the key, I think, will be for you to observe and personally participate in his system tuning ceremony (he will in any case need another pair of hands to help move the Macondo around and especially in a way that wi...

[quote user="steverino"]I always thought that Stokowski was very attuned to Mussorgsky. I think he was the first conductor of the original Boris Godunov version by Mussorgsky as opposed to the R-K orchestration. His Boris Suites are a good "synthesis...
