...forces numbering 1000 happened only once -- at the premier, where 1039 were reported, including the conductor, Mahler himself.
The title Symphony of a Thousand was given by the promoter of that concert, so they pretty much had to gather the 100...

Well. That dude down my street in the esoteric shop would say "i feel negative vibration is in the air here"...Though "only positive counts" may sound very positive in the first place, it rather seems to be used for discrediting majority of opinions....

Interesting thought about recording time, Robin, if only because we tend to think a live performance is going to be better, warts and all. OTOH, stretching the recording over days in the quest for - whatever - often results in other problems, not ...

I play trumpet professionally, I conduct semi professionally. Neither of those two characteristics helps me with (expensive or any other) audio. Actually they are in fact more in the way.As a trumpet player, much of what I hear comes from the wrong s...

I guess there are many types that come here to GoodSoundClub. Some to "brag", some to "share", some to "police", some just to learn.I guess if your turntable is so important to you, then you could at least tell us how it is sonically "better" than th...

A New Bridge to Old RussiaBy Heuwell Tircuit
When the rather newly minted National Philharmonic of Russia ended its local debut concert, Sunday evening in Davies Symphony Hall, the audience was on its feet, wildly cheering and even whistling. Under...

Actually (probably because of the phase coherence and tight dispersion control) they sound very good even with some basic equipments, like the small 300 USD Parasound zAmp for example, but I like them most with the pro MC2 Audio MC1250 amps or the Fr...

I have a very bad experience with the majority of the engineers of PA systems. According to my experience, their ideal sound is a kind of typical amplified and loud sound with some punchy upper bass and they have no experience with unamplified opera ...

Seven hours of live music Sunday, from Bela Fleck through New Orleans jazz to Wagner -- all on the radio.

Is there a pill for that too? Seriously, it would be very interesting to hear what solution you come up with because I have converted from listening music solo to a small number of audience (friends). So much that I listen by myself much less oft...

I was gifted a mono LP version of this performance, which I have listened to closely but once, with fair electricity. This time I was more impressed with the orchestra/orchestration than the piano playing, which I found to be a bit much, overall, an...

Tragic Comedy how the "arts" are ever dominated by people in a position to market themselves, or those who are marketed by others. Not to mention a "critical industry" and announcers in general that hang on largely because of symbiotic relationships ...

It seem a market test for that type of recording. They probably will launch a few more "luxurious" limited editions to cover everything they spent and guarantee some profit before lower the cost, and if they find out that fashion could be profitable ...
