Post Subject: Being a music lover (a musicophile) and not being afraid (...) of recording quality...Posted by twogoodears on: 4/24/2011

... ordered Gardzienice's disk, N-set, thanks for hinting... I shamelessly will enjoy if, with an up to par music, I'll also find a NICE recording... I'm too much fond of music to consider myself or anyone else a pedo/audiophile who bought a disc after reading about sonic AND musical merits, nonetheless, I cannot forget ALL the load of fantastic music and recordings I discovered in the decades ONLY thanking this or that audio magazine reviews... same with Arthur Salvatore's, Roman Bessnow's et al. I mean: if you "run from it" only because I quoted an hyped (...) hinting to a "must listen/own" item I possibly used wrong lingo, but, holy shit, refusing nice music accompanied by a nice recording and defining s.o. an audio(pedo)phile is like defining a grandad with his beloved young nephew at the park a pedophile... or looking and aestetically appreciating a beautiful lady in summer dressing in the street and being accused of being a porn-minded individual.Music-sake... Paniagua family - father and sons - were and are musicians and luthiers and on Harmonia Mundi, BIS and M/A recordings usually uses historically compliant instrument copies they built after extensive researches and studies... and, like you underlined, the "papyrus" source which someway disturbed you;-) isn't so afar from the "mosaic" which disturbs me;-)) - VERY early music playing and re-surrecting is based on musicians personality, tastes and culture, as no dogma exists, BUT the above; a vase, a mosaic, an old miniature or... papyrus made more than conservatories of music, for "our" music, you'll agree!... at the end, as I'll sure give a fond and interested listen to your suggested disk - just curious - let me ask: did you own/listened to the HM's disc I quoted, by any chance?
