Peter Szendy is a serious and sympathetic thinker.
Judging from this conversation with Mladen Dolar
https://youtu.be/IcjwgXQ7QwM?si=yzr5rigLEjT9DT0v
his book Listen: A History of our Ears, promises to be a good read.
From the jacket blurb:
“…where exactly does the listener stand in relation to the music s/he listens to?
What is the responsibility of the listener?
Does a listener have any rights, as the author and composer have copyright? Szendy explains his love of musical arrangement (since arrangements allow him to listen to someone listening to music),
and wonders whether it is possible in other ways to convey to others how we ourselves listen to music.
How can we share our actual hearing with others?”
On a perhaps related note, I find the Giuliani B9 LP from the Original Source series
more beautiful than my CD versions. Possible less compression, richer foundation, and lovely tone.
