"Perhaps I need to pick a German girlfriend and get German by the “other” means."I would think that it's more customary to learn German (or fill in the blank language) because one Wants a German girlfriend rather than the other way aroun...

I continued to correspond with the late J Gordon Holt after he stopped doing Sterophile stuff. Gordon continued on as a recording engineer who infamously insisted on sonic verisimilitude, by which he meant that the system should "correctly" reproduce...

I agree Japanese food is sublime, and if you like spices, then very good Indian food can be fantastic (but I doubt you can eat that type of Indian food in the US). Even in India, it can only be had at select places (like the fish Tikka in Delhi Obero...

Rakesh, I do not know a lot about the audio trivia. What I do know that in the world I live and I understand the tractrix curve introduced Bruce Edgar. I thought that tractrix curve was described by French. The tractrix curve is twisted and not strai...

Hi Romy and JJTriode:
I wish I could take credit for all of the very pertinent commentary by Rosalyn Tureck, extracted below but I will not. I do agree with the sentiment though and the reasoning behind her expressed...

I have to admit that I do not like the trip to Tanglewood – sitting for hours at the damn turnpike exit is not my definition of fun. The few times I was in Tanglewood I never was able to get the sits where I appreciate sound a strange place for to li...

I stopped by today during my lunch at my local “loony Tunes” and suddenly stumbled upon a LYS reissue (via the Dante Production) of Golovanov’s 1948 Boris Godunov. (LYS 349-351)
I have mentioned this performance above. It is a studio recoding where ...

Mentioned in the list above is a composer that I particularly enjoy is John Barbirolli, as the French, Italian and English influences on his upbringing reminds me of the cultural mix of my own family. There is a perceptive article published last moon...

So, did anyone find out if this is a complete set? Looks like it on the Amazon sites. And did anyone hear it yet? US Amazon has it as pre-order and Caymen has it in stock (supposedly), for $148.00, but on some French sites the...

I don't know much about old TBAs, but d'Yquem (like many of the finest French wines) is actually pretty hard to ruin! Since aged d'Yquem is so dear now, I have a nice stash from a near neighbor to that plot, and I will think sympathetically of Clark...

If you're interested, there is a documentary "Lucas Debargue: To Music" produced by Martin Mirabel on Medici tv. He is very articulate (euh French but there are subtitles). Wise beyond his years: "On n'est pas interessant par soi-meme" ("One is not ...

Thanks, rakeshI do not know anything about those French drivers. I would question some things that they say but it is not the point. There are some many opportunities, so many options and there is so little time and little my desire to try the new t...

then it works! Of course, nobody really wants a 12' piano keyboard, or 2' bells on the French horns, so (obviously) we want both more and less than rote "widening" of the event. Likewise with solo performers; we want a "more accurate" recreation of...

Hi, anyone sending their internet connection around the house via the electrical cables (CPL in french)? It would make my life a lot easier if I could do that but was wondering if it would have an impact on the hi-fi sound. I can't really try before...

Here is a collection of Norman Lebrecht’s articles for Scena Manganese, which is I believe a French publication. I would not agree with everything he write but many of Norman’s points are very accurate in my view…http://www.scena.org/columns/lebrecht...
