I noted that cellos “got something” at the bottom after they were Water Dropped. I did not even intended to write about it as it is an ordinary, anticipated and not particularly "exuberant" change. Improving of LF always leads to improving of HF perc...

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...

Chris,I wonder what your like in the Quads, the actual performance of the loudspeaker or the way in which those delay lines shape the front of the attack wave? Anyhow I thin to mention the Quad in the Vitavox S2 thread would not be ethical… :-)...

I have a problem with how you are using the english language, Romy. You are using an absolute word (like absolute) to mean something you have invented and it is a relative thing. This for me won't do. I understand more or less what ...

I'm very fond of Ernest Bloch's "Schelomo - (Hebraic Rhapsody for Violoncello Solo and Full Orchestra)", followed on the same DECCA SXL 6440 disc and always by Bloch, by "Voice in the Wilderness (Symphonic Poem for Orchestra with Violoncello Obbligat...

I am not quite sure what is going on but wherever is going on is wrong. I was listening this morning Shostakovich’s second cello concerto by Berlin and Rostropovich and I detected that something was not right. It was too direct and “too stereo”, if I...

I think your problem with acceptance of “absolute tone” derives from your visualization audio tone is an imitation of musical tone. It is correct t form one side and it is a strategic mistake from another side. Let me to state it again and it is very...

I never heard them live. Martha Argerich is still performing live but it is imposable to catch her as she cancels whatever she can cancel. The Beethoven’s Cello Sonata are “big” and as many other thing many different people plays them differently. I ...

I have not seen it myself, but I have been told that the French box set does include the complete symphonies (27 in all) plus orchestral poems, sinfoniettas, etc. I think that it does NOT include the violin concerto or the cello concerto. This box se...
