Hi Paul,the Casals recording more than any other one that I have heard has a sense of musical direction. Expressions lead to the next, you never have to fill any thing in. If I were to compare what he does, it would be to the best orators at the Roya...

Cello HI I have only heard the Cole for a short time, so it wouldn't be fair to compare, also I really can't say to what extent the LCR circuit contributes to the sound of the 1500, the Allnic is very dynamic, has high resolution and makes inst...

The musical performances on the disc all seem excellent to me. I particularly liked the Kodaly cello piece which was new to me. The sound quality (when played on the ghetto blaster) seems pretty good as well. It certainly brings that machine to life....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have to admit that I have written a few pieces of writing about my experiences with YO186 but I withhold to post it as I do not know if it might valuable for anybody. It looks like no one use YO186 on West. There are ...

I got today my “$1000 effect” with YoYoed Macondo sound. You know when you play something that you like, the one side of the record is over but you are so out there that you are willing to pay $1000 to somebody to turn the record over…
I playe...

It is the bass cello wine rack I am after of course.Romy, seriously, I shouldn't have charged you for that 2 cases of Has Christian Glaciovinum, I don't know why I did, and now after this fresh future offense of stealing your gloriously kitchy wine r...

Wow, I mean really, really, really, really, really WOW!
A week ago I converted one of the Super Milqs to 5:1 loading and yesterday I converted another one. I loved what the last week converted amp did. It was very nice but today I put the entire sys...

Last week I listened to some small back loaded speakers using Fostex drivers where the cabinets had deliberately been made to replicate some of the qualities of a double bass or cello. Apparently very thin cabinet walls etc.While I have some reservat...

Very interesting topic!I read from Neuhaus that piano is the most abstract instrument but at same time good at "imitating" orchestra or an instrument with big personality such as a cello. I wonder if the wood for piano sound board is a good can...

A few weeks ago Amphissa sent me a collection of recordings of Myaskovsky. I knew Myaskovsky, head his Sixth Symphon, “something else” and his cello concerto but to have a pile of selected CDs by a great aficionado of the Myaskovsky's music really he...

First off, I forgot to mention an interesting observation: Before running the sweeps (previous post), since the drivers in the upper-bass horns are new, I decided to verify/optimize rear chamber volume (they are easily adjustable)... I wasn't expecti...

But I wouldn't rule out playing rock on a system that offer fidelity to the music in classical repertory. However, back to the reproduction "system".The expression Romy used of "musical content" is interesting. I use the expression musical ...

I think the sorry state of the music industry (s/ware, sound) is primarily due to:a) the trend toward audioVISUAL and the ensuing market for productsb) how people listen to musicA) I believe this is self-explanatory; the bulk of the market invests in...

Beethoven: Sonatas for Piano & Cello Op. 5, Nos. 1 & 2
Patrick Cohen, Christophe Coin

This is intensely moving. Both players are consistently inspired from beginning to end. This is real chamber music...

[quote user="twogoodears"] I remember Bach's unaccompanied Cello sonatas seen like numbers of different colours and size in space... oooops: loving maths through music? [/quote]
Interning, I do not Bach's Cello sonatas but it I would then I see them...

I have my issuers with American music of Copland/Gershwin level do not particularly like it. I do understand the concept of the “idealized American collective consciousness” but this American music too much reminds me the “harmonies” of Frank Zap...

This morning, while driving to work, the Classical station was playing the first movement of Gerald Finzi's Cello Concerto (14 July 1901 - 27 September 1956):
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Cello Concerto in A minor, Op 40, was compo...

Unquestionably to me, piano concertos are the very much The Concertos for an instrument and orchestras. My second favorite is Cello Concertos. The violin concertos are popular and they great but I frequently find that they might be annoying, particul...

A few months ago, I played the last movement of Shostakovich's Fifth symphony and went to cast my vote against our current dirt in White House. Nowdays, a celebrated cellist Matt Haimovitz released his new album. In there, he introduces his cello ver...

A strong second-recommendation of the 1977 Horowitz recording of the Liszt(RCA 12548 here in France). It is a superb sounding LP as well. For some reason I can't listen to anything Argerich lately, maybe it's because everytime I have ...

Antonio, nether Glazunov nor Myaskovsky were composers about whom I ever cared a lot, perhaps mistakably. Also, and maybe regrettably, not a lot of Interesting” performers play Glazunov’s and Myaskovsky’s works.
Myaskovsky has violin and cello conce...

Okay I have to confess that I am a Pavarotti fan, especially the overflowing, gushy puccini operas with the overflowing pavarotti. Along with the bach solo studies for cello, it's one of the reasons I started paying attention to my audio playba...

Philips (stereo) PHS900-120Another example of how sentimental I am, I suppose, but I just love these pieces that showcase Beethoven's utter mastery of earlier forms, which he seemingly tosses around nonchalantly, but with the utmost affection and res...

[quote user="Amphissa"] Mats, I agree with you. The recording of the cello concerto by Natalia Gutman with Svetlanov conducting is the best overall performance of this beautiful concerto. It is unfortunate that she never toured in the West. She is re...

This record survived my college days, but I thought I'd lost it along the way. How nice to find it and hear it again, after so many years.The tracks from this LP were dubbed from recordings made in 1926, 7 & 8, presumably originally di...

Shostakovich string quartets have long been favorites of mine as well. For years I listened to them and the Bach cello suites more than any other serious music. I tried to get into the symphonic works but it never seemed as profound...

Yes, Rony, it is an eternal mystery why most artists insist on over-reaching themselves in public; but I suppose we have't seen/heard the last of it. And it is also sort of funny that you bring to mind the Bach Cello Suite, along with O's clear, mod...
