Ive attended a half dozen performances this year and I find the acoustics of this hall quite terrible. Apart from some of the orchestra's lackluster and sloppy performance at times, the sound generally doesnt seem to carry well in this hall. It sou...

Alisa Weilerstein hit the jackpot this time - she will be playing in one of two greatest events of 2008-2009 BSO Season.

Well, of course it should say "Aimez-Vous Brahms?" (the novel by Françoise Sagan), or also known as: " Lieben Sie Brahms?"Actually my answer to this to be honest is: No, I don't. Brahms, other then his Violin Concerto has so far not managed to captur...

It's been some time since I've listened to my hi-fi. Today I started out with my DAC because I wanted to hear a new (to me) CD. After about 2 hours I switched to the K&K, listening first to Verde, then Brahms PCs 1 & 2. By the time I got to the 3r...

It is Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts BBC Proms with European Union Youth Orchestra It is very good, but… I do not think that this is THE WAY to play Mozart. I would get it as Brahms or Sibelius Concerto but not the Mozart. She is overly idealistic and s...

[quote user="Paul S"]I would be very interested to know what Richter said about this in his diary. Apparently, this was Richter's 1st American recording, and all did not go well, at all. For instance, from a long list of unlikely "catastr...

I have to confess a sin - I was listening today the Myaskovsky’s cello concerto 5 times. It is not that I got hooked on Myaskovsky but Amphissa was right - Myaskovsky does have his own unique voice.
Myaskovsky is kind of a mix between Prokofi...

Miab, there are many solutions out there. Most of them from small companies. It is a niche market for sure. To try them all is almost impossible at least you want to expend a fortune. And end up with a bunch of useless gear as most I know do little t...

I truly love that. Sometimes in the randomness of internet audio idiocy there are events where I become sort of epicenter of bashing. I say “sort of” as they do not discuss my personally or what I stay for but instead the intent Morons mostly sh...
