Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hello Al, ,Thanks for the links. If I can find the CD of this recording I’ll buy it. This will be fun and interesting hearing it reproduced with my low watt SET system. Besides I need at least one majestic organ reference recording in my jazz dominate music library LOL. Al if I’m unable to find this CD is there an alternative good organ recording you might suggest?

Al if I’m unable to find this CD is there an alternative good organ recording you might suggest?Yup: https://www.amazon.com/Saint-Sa%C3%ABns-Symphony-No-3-Camille/dp/B000003CSK/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1469925056&sr=1-1&keywords=cd-80051 Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3, known as the "Organ Symphony," is music that I would expect to have much broader appeal than the pieces on the M&K disc. And I would certainly consider your use of the word "majestic" to be applicable to it as well. I have this on the original 1980 Telarc LP. Don’t let the fact that it was digitally recorded and mastered in the early days of digital discourage you; the sonics of many of the digital recordings that were originally issued on LP by Telarc prior to and around the time CDs came into being are excellent. That said, assuming that the CD was created with no added dynamic compression relative to whatever minimal amount (if any) may be present on the LP, I disavow any responsibility for what may happen if and probably when some of the passages on this recording drive your amp well into clipping :-) Best regards, -- Al |
Al, Regarding "early"digital recordings I have no fear, as you note there are excellent sounding examples to erase any stereotypical assumptions. Once I found the appropriate digital source components I was able to move from vinyl without any looking back. In my early experiences Redbook CDs weren't the problem, inadequate playback components were the issue. Charles, |
