Sergei Prokofiev is one of my favorite composers. I like all of his music. His Classical Symphony No.1 was composed to emulate Joseph Haydn's composing style, although there is nothing in the music that would lead me to connect it with Haydn. Toni...

I had today so much fan that I did not expected. The Gergiev’s Prokofiev with London Symphony turned out to be a truly devilish ride - a phenomenal performance. Mind you that not everything perfect and Gergiev play his own anti-romantic, hard-code, a...

Why are so much don't like him. Sitting tonight at second violin concerto beautifully played by Stefan Jackiw and just really really don't like his music. Brahms 4 going to be in the second part of the concert, I will be recovering. Amy is playing.....

Thanks for the suggestion Romy. I've really enjoyed some of your past performance recommendations. Although I'll make do with my simple but adequate TU-9900 instead of the big TU-X1. Or just go the old fashioned ...

This might be very much an interesting consent. The State Symphony of Russia use to be the main state sponsored symphony ...

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...

I also have problems with Prokofiev, like having noisy, intrusive neighbors' sounds flying around while I'm trying to do something else. I do have what I think is a good version of his VC2, but I forget which dead Russian violinist was lead. I'll try...

The subject of vulgarity in art gets confused with bad taste and satire, so I am not sure which exactly you mean. For example Mahler seems to me to have many instances of bad taste and satire but seldom any significant vulgarity. Tchaikovsky not ...

Ah electrostats...I am fairly sure that problem with esls is trying to take them down to low and them not being driven properly. If you actually calculate how much current you need to drive transient peaks into an ESL, it's horrifying. I can't imagin...

[quote user="JANDL100"]I agree that a lot of the orchestral/choral music is pro-Soviet propaganda crap pumped out by a good, card carrying servant of the regime who is eager to please his political masters. [/quote] I have no problems with it if it w...

Romy, there is a project to reissue all of Svetlanov's recordings. Eventually, I hope, this project will make available the recording of the cello concerto by Natalia Gutman, which IMO is better than any of the recordings by Rostropovich.I do not kno...

yeah, Argerich and Abbado have a certain chemistry together ... I think they go way back, if I'm not mistaken they went to school together ... and I think Abbado did study the piano there as well.
