I was referring to the audiences and music buyers who acquire the above artists recordings, not the reviewer's opinions. I assume the audience didn't walk out or fail to applaud. ...

If the idea was to demonstrate the unbelievable fidelity of these speakers why wouldn't they use an instrument everyone had heard live or barring that bring in a set of taiko drums and let some taiko player have at it? It's hard to tell from an MP3 f...

What Romy has done up until now is very similar to what a conductor of an orchestra does:Search for music to performBuild the ensemble to play itDecide on the venue to perform inTrain all of the forces involved to play in accordIn real time, guide th...

To be more specific about the Audience units, I initially thought they worked better in the audio chain than others at clearing up and clarifying sonic textures without slowing or hardening sounds.. But I started to notice that low level harmonic inf...

DGG CD, 449 816-2Argerich, Abbado and the BPO waste no time in "putting it out there" for the wonderful, live audience, but it does take a little while for the audience and all the performers to totally connect. Once they are hooked up, the spac...

Recordings are listed by year of release:
"The Lord's Prayer" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." Emile Berliner. (ca. 1888)
Emile Berliner, the inventor of the microphone and founder of the first disc record company, lived and worked in Washi...

[quote user="steverino"] If the units are to be placed between the wall and the PP then I think that would be a safe way to use it. I do not recommend connecting audio equipment directly through them though.[/quote] That is kind of puzzling to me. Wh...

Being a trumpeter, I certainly have an opinion about this - on many levels.I believe one of the major benefits of a trumpet (horn) is the ability to completely melt into the orchestral fabric or with ease move outside when MY voice in my opinion has ...

[quote user="rowuk"]Germans still define music as "E"-Musik or "U"-Musik. E is for "Ernst" or serious/ernest and U is for "Unterhaltung" or entertainment. Funny enough Jazz falls und "E".[/quote]Although Jazz didn't start out serious there is no ques...

Perhaps if the "critics" did a better job these days, the artists would rise to the occasion. Good examples of poor "critical analysis" may be heard daily on innumerable NPR stations across the country, with "well-educated" "music critics" inventing...

I think most people, as audience find fascination in unusually capable performance of the performers, as in a live music event. So if there is no performer there is nothing to give homage to, really. Other than good reproductive properties of a sound...

Today Joe Whipple have posted a message in the Intelligencer board:

I would like to re-print the Joe’s post:

I did not see the affair but listened on my car radio. I liked the enthusiasm of the playing a lot and the very appreciative audience that, I think, got more out of the orchestra.It certainly seemed like the musicians felt real compassion...

[quote user="Paul S"]Well, you can count me among those who are perennially frustrated by all the unnessary stupidy that goes into most recordings, that's for sure, although I have several hundred records that I would like to keep for the p...

A new WCRB, and a shrinking classical dialBy Jeremy Eichler, Boston Globe Staff December 18, 2009
In a city passionate about classical music, a lot of listeners get their fill by catching the Boston Symphony Orchestra and other progr...
|
The issue here is that quality and enjoyment are 2 different things. The former is absolute and the latter relative. Quality is a parameter, that in this case belongs to the orchestra. It can be defined by using measuring units of intonation, synchro...
|
I think that I can relate to both sides.When we speak about recordings that come from "live" events, the musicians interact with the audience at hand. Generally that means a statistically significant mix of "music lovers", "music analysers", and disi...

I've been an avid original soundtracks and film music collector for most of my life, and still I didn't find the PERFECT music for a movie... the classic, Alfred Newman's, Rozsa's, Hermann's, Williams', Horner's... them all did a superb job combined ...

I have mentioned more than once, and I think it should be obvious to fellow tweaks, that I instituted a sort of cost/benefit "go/no-go" policy some time back. Oddly enough, the ML2s fit comfortably within my parameters, as do the "value" pieces...

It was the dismal failure of conventional playback to reproduce Wagner that first drew me in this direction; had I listened only to chamber music I might not have made the effort. Which is I suspect partly why other amplifiers are not like this: ther...

I do not want to dive seriously into discussion about Continuum turntable. I have not reasons or interest, not to mention that this thread is not about the Continuum turntable but rather about the primitivism and idiocy of the “gantseh makher” Fremer...

The post sounds like the 500 word synonym for "analytical". In my experience most changes from a satisfactory prior model means it gets more analytical rather than more like live music. Your description is very close to what I would have written abou...

It looked like they had "only" about 300-350 people on stage in Tanglewood. I think the original score called for about 750, at least that is how many Jascha Horenstein had on stage in the Royal Albert Hall in 1959. He also had about 6000 people in...
|
Thanks for the reply. The story seems to imply that the orchestra played with an increased sense of despair or anxiety. But extraneous noises are just that. Not worth looking for unless they add something to the performance. M...
