| Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite @mahgister Thanks for the tip about Feltsman I shall investigate today.Best , Jim. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador Wow don't you have enough to get on with at the moment LOL. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador Funnily enough Jeremy I was expecting a lot more from Dershavina's Haydn but they weren't for me, I must admit I enjoy Hamelin more. Have a listen to Paul Lewis he is quite a star in them, oh and he has just released a recording of... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @mahgister If you need a little break from Schiff and still need some Bach try The Goldberg Variations played by, Ekaterina Dershavina quite different from Schiff but also superb. It may be just what you are needing ,I love her playing. | |
| Very high CPU and memory consumption with Qobuz Hi you'll possibly find it was me who mentioned that program. It is Windows 10 Shut Up and it is free from O and O software. they are a great little company and have some super tools available for taming Windows 10 . I hope this helps. Jim. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @mahgister I entirely agree regarding Perahia , I find his brand of pianism far superior than Pollini's. Also I was on Idagio earlier and I saw Pollini's earlier Beethoven Piano sonatas and found them glacial but of course that is only my opin... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Goodness me Len , Paul Robeson now there's a name from the past. As a kid in the fifties we had an old box of 78s in a cupboard and there were 2 or 3 Robesons there. I loved Ol Man River of course but the one that I was always playing was Trees wh... | |
| Streaming Music and being able to keep them as your personel files You could install a program called Sound Tap and record to your desktop anything you are playing in either MP3 or WAV files. I do that and it gives me back superb sounding files and you can adjust the program for original sound file copy up to 24/... | |
| Bagpipe Music If you want a great band look for any recordings by The Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band. They are a real pipe band and not the clowns you see on the streets busking. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Between Perahia and Pollini , no contest I would pick Perahia and day of the week. I have loved Perahia since the day he won the Leeds Piano Competition ( a long time ago ) and I have to admit he is my go to pianist for any Bach keyboard works. I ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @mahgister I think you are absolutely right regarding his CD's , I also find them quite cold to listen to with the exception of Stravinsky's Three Movements from Petrushka. He plays that piece as if The devil or in Scot's parlance ( Auld Nick... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert Len I can't fault you on the pollini treasure , I think it was not long after that disc that he retired from the platform to study for a while longer. That was the worst thing he ever did in my opinion because he went to study with M... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @mahgister Hi I have been listening to Zacharias playing Scarlatti for a lot of the day on and off and have to say that I can see a lot of wonderful musicmaking there. The only thing I have to say is that he does play them quite literally with n... | |
| Consolidate/sell my headphone system for a DCS Bartok? Ian, Forgive me about Grans and Sucking eggs but have you inverted the phase on the DS a few times to see if that made a difference. | |
| Consolidate/sell my headphone system for a DCS Bartok? I'm afraid I would have to disagree about the PS Audio being "mushy and reserved", I find it anything but. This makes me beg the question are you keeping the DAC software up to date as we are now on "Windom". If you have been updating then I apolo... |
