I had intended to play my newly received Bach 6 Suites for Cello SACD played by Hidemi Suzuki. But today two of my sons and their friends were in and out of the house (summer jobs are scarce these days), disturbing the peace. So classical music was not an option. So, I did an eeny meeny miny mo and ... more |

Whoa. This is a tough one for me to comment on. I am in substantial sync with Gonzostick’s very informative review posted earlier this month. Amazingly our personal history mirror in an almost supernatural way, especially since I am just now reading his words for the first time! But I have come to a ... more |

Because this disc serves as my introduction to each of these four (4) compositions I must gloss over the performances. (I do have “Symphony of Psalms” as a ”filler” on a couple of discs but I don’t remember anything meaningful about the performances). For the uninitiated (yours truly) to these ... more |

Damn! I just noticed that this is the 23rd review of this disc, a disc that I had not even heard of a few short weeks ago! I estimate that 80% of my listening is to classical music with most other being straight up jazz. Certainly only a smidgen of my listening is to rock. (This will stick out like ... more |

What a commanding performance!
Because this disc (actually 2 discs) serves as my introduction to most of the compositions performed here (the Liszt Dante Sonata being a notable exception) I must talk in very general terms about the performances. I found the performances to be extraordinarily ... more |

| Below are some very quick and random remarks (most regarding the sound) that I have made in a couple posts about Manfred Symphony - Kitajenko.

Opinions evolve but so far I find Kitajenko a real keeper. I make two posts. The last one is called "Further random thoughts" ... more |

| You are quite fortunate to be among a mecca of informed/experienced audiophiles and music lovers who have embraced new approaches (DSP EQ) to improve their home audio systems.
Although to my surprise you are no longer alone in the hi-end as I am finding more audiophiles/dealers who, just a few short years ago, when I first explored the technology, ... more |

| I jumped into this Fall 1999 when I bought my SCD-1. Judging by my first SACD post (January 2000) it looks like I bought several first SACDs at one time, all Sony, from Bruno Walter, Leonard Bernstein, Miles Davis, and Herbie Hancock. I made specific mention of Walter's Beethoven 5th. I also mentioned an unintersting Telarc Sampler and a nice Sony ... more |

| I understand completely how an audiophile would find what he or she heard to be "slightly more than subtle but yet not describable". I rarely find where these differences, "subtle" or "slightly more than subtle", are expressed in any meaningful way. I think it takes a special gift that few have that I have read. I'm thinking of a S.I. Hayakawa. In ... more |
