Hi Romy,Just the Nanut Mahler would be really great. 80) (I already have Nanut's Mahler 1 4 5 & 6).Anything else that you rate highly would also be most interesting & welcome (I tend not to listen to much oper...

I am surprised not to hear mention some of my favorites: Karol Syzmanowski, Leos Janacek, Gustav Mahler, Claude Debussy, Jean Sibelius, Charles Ives, Arnold Schoenberg, Edgard Varese, Anton Webern, Kurt Weill, George Gershwin, Alfred Schnit...

It is excellent that Timbre is described here as color. This is actually how musicians speak about it. The problem with the comparison to photography is that color with a musical instrument is a moving target. If we take my own instrument, the trumpe...

I spent today couple hours starting to search the DPoLS for Macondo. So far I am far from target but the experience was quite amassing. The “new”, properly aligned Macondo, with the bells and Water Drop and whistles does quite well. I have some “test...

Fugue,
obviously your expertise in guitar world is involved. I never cherished guitar specifically and know little about it. There is a guy arond here from AU, Peter Foster – he post here sometimes – if I am not mistaken he ether owns gu...

Where those EdgarHorn Titans with the Edgar’s woofers? I ask because I am very concerned about the LF response. The Shelter 901 has phenomenal bass in my view, even now. In fact all my system/room in a way “calibrated” from the bass that Shelte...

I have commented before that with all my admiration of the fact the BSO made the 88/24 available I was not completely thrilled with the job SoundMirror did. Those zillion microphones that John Newton’s team stack in each empty space of Symphony ...

The NY Times article about the stupid craze that the industry creates around Gustavo Dudamel.

I started to read the article but I honestly have difficulties. I know Mark Anstendig – we met on-line a few years back in old Mahler forum. We had some correspondence between us for a while and then Mark started annoy me. Mark is former conductor. I...

Well, this was why I used the “amateur” in the quotes. Amateurism described as a pursuit to something without formal qualification or professional status. Surely Günter Wand was not a sub-qualified person and he was a professional conductor but as a...

the way you want to hear it!Bruno Walter, was a close friend to Mahler and very much a Classic only preference conductor. He does "The Titan" without over-emphasising it's late romantic origin.It is available on Columbia "<-360 SOUND->" STE...

[quote user="JANDL100"] Re: the Mahler "Nanut set" - I think you might find that symphonies 2, 3, 7, 8 & 9 are not by Nanut after all. But please let me know if I am wrong about that![/quote]I got the CD SET yesterday. Here is what it...

Sakuma's idiosyncratic and esoteric way of thinking (he believes for example that tubes have a "soul") is not to everyone's liking. He is projecting his mind into a sort of tone control. At least for him this tone control brings him nearer to th...

Does anyone else here share my passion for Anton Nanut? Long-term conductor of the Ljubliana SO. Now deceased.His Beethoven is superb. Nanut's is my fave version of the 7th. I've only ever found 1 to 8, never seen a 9th ...

I also thought this question was kind of idiotic... until I noticed that its really been bugging me for a few weeks...what are the rules for a C20 composer? Died after 1900? If so....I've been fighting between Mahler and Janacek. I can make a waterti...

[quote user="op.9"]But, from a C21 perspective, Janacek is the one who fundementally changes the way we listen to music itself - single handed. Did any other C20 composer do that ?[/quote] James, could you elaborate about your view on Janacek? I know...

Yes, Jerry, thanks,I would like to pick some Anton Nanut CDs, not everything from you list but juts some of them. What I would be interesting if the Japanese folks ever pressed Nanut CD/LPs. In SOME cases the Japanese CD mastering is much more intere...

Hi Bud,Thanks for the pointers; I already have a pair of vertically sectioned cores wound from a while back, on white nylon (ugh?!) . Not remotely optimal, but if the concept works I will definitely have to try something along your lines. The tip reg...

One of the paragraphs in my initial posts mentioned the Mravinsky’ own version of the Nutcracker suits. A few days ago I discovered a performance of it that I did not head. It was on 12 October 1977 by Mravinsky with his Leningrad Philharmonic, live ...

I’d like to pick up on one thing the visitor noted. He said Macondo was able to “dissect” the most “complex and dramatic” Bruckner. To me, this is a stunning achievement. In my humble attempts at resolving the most complex passages, all successs has ...

[quote user="Paul S"]I try every few years to home in on "leads" to Strauss's "men's chorale" works. I've heard only 2 examples, both while driving, and both times the usual "random selection" with "random explication" from "dee-jays" who hold forth ...

Great conductor but you never know what you get from him. I was listening tonight the FM recording from SymphonyShare of Dorati with CSO doing Mahler 6. Chicago Symphony play not well but whole together it is strangely powerful performance. As the pe...

Debussy or any good composer not using loud dynamic shifts to generate tension has to compose so that the music works without it. Also they have to score it differently. But Debussy is not notating microdynamics just to be clear. And Gieseking's mic...
