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...

I've noticed recently that I'm constanty driftting towards baroque and early music.Here is my latest discovery (appologies to the experts): Le Poeme Harmonique.Say magnifique is not to say anything! Some samples:A. Boesset https://www.youtube.com/wat...

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...

Klaus,I should start by saying that I'm not a scientist and not an engineer. I arrived at the following conclusions as a result of a little research and some thinking about the problem. It is possible that I am incorrect.I don't know how yo...

Well, Bill, I disagree what you're
saying. I disagree with surround sound, I disagree with the concert Hall
experience and I disagree with objectives to reconstruct concert Hall
experience. I'm not denying concert Hall experience itself I'm just s...

I also thought London should have more and better classical stations than Madrid. In Spain we have only two or three sindicated broadcast nets and but for the Radio Clasica channel and RNE3, all the others are always programming crappy music and "tal...

Thanks, Rony, the same good holidays wishings to you. It was ironic that you mentioned the “Samson et Dracica” in your late email. I have a friend of mine, a local French guy – Jerome, who gave me the Chung’s performance of this opera a few months ag...

Some people say the BSO is the most "European" sounding US orchestra. Well, when listening to the recordings of the orchestra under the baton of Charles Münch it sounds truly wonderful and... indeed like a fine European orchestra. The Deutsche Grammo...

I do not know how “extraordinary experience” it will be but the BSO for the first time with Levine went to European Festivals Tour. The Brits, French and Germans will be able to catch it.

I love Alicia's touch on this record! On side 1 she plays the Italian Concerto and the French Suite #6 in E; on side 2 she plays the Fantasia in C Minor and the English Suite #2 in A Major.This stereo recording is very nice, too, to the point w...

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...

Sure, it is a matter of personal preference but to my taste anything shiny of glossy should not be used in horn or in audio… unless you are French of course :-) As far as I concern everything should be absolutely black, completely not glittery,...

Romy, I suspect that 200 Hz high-pass will be too low for that driver, even 2nd order, and almost certainly with just 6 dB roll-off. I think more like 500 Hz with 1st order, and might still require the coil.Yellow-type drivers take on and ...

I wonder if you can do some "sound forecast" just by looking at them. The drivers seem to be of some sort of synthetic plastic material, which were true, I fear wouldn't sound much of my liking. They remind me of the Watt&Puppy, Joseph... and som...

I always had a strange thing with Wagner – I appreciate and deeply respect his music but I never liked it. It is not that do “not like it” but rather I just do not feel that Wagner’s things are the part of my sonic realization of world. As I wrote be...

Hi Romy,How do I stuff the SME headshell (or other headshells) with silicon? I am tech idiot and can't imagine how to keep the silicon from just running out of the headshell, is there a type of silicon that dries after application I guess? By the way...

People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles which are at variance, fo...

The English language got so big because we English speakers have long simply adopted words and phrases from other languages to try to better describe things. Americans at times use the word "ensemble" to speak of what we discuss here, but I think th...
