Too hot to expect the best sound today, and besides I have gotten my morbid curiousity worked up about the recording/playback curves, so I fished out a few LPs mostly to hear/see how they sound with respect to the "shape" of their sound, aspects of w...

[quote user="amperidian"] To me Russian music is not about joy and musicality (unless you specifically consider Tchaikovsky), but instead it tends to portray the bleak and tragic history of that nation and the iron will that was forged through it.&nb...

As a few weeks back NYT published an article about 10 greatest composers that made any forum on web to come up with own list. I do not want to propose my own version of the List; I am interested in a different aspect. I post sometimes at Google C...

I do not do the idiotic quizzes “who is the best” and who would be the top 5 or 10 in some bogus lists but a few days ago I did asked myself who is among 20 century composers I feel was the most interesting and the most appreciated by me. While...
