Name: |
John Broggio | |
Details: |
Amateur classical musician who's found better sound at home! I play violin in a semi-pro orchestra. Away from this I play in a number of informal chamber ensembles on both piano and violin. My interests are wide and deep when it comes to classical music and I also take more than a passing interest in world music, largely due to the experiences I've had whilst holidaying worldwide. If anyone has inside information about recordings listed here, particularly those I've reviewed, please feel free to share them with me. Perhaps you'd like to agree or disagree with something I've said - either way, that is fine by me. I always welcome comments (publicly or privately) and aim to respond speedily. My user name comes from a corruption of a type of mathematical function (I am currently a statistician/analyst for NHS cancer services by day...) and I don't go around in drag in real life (except for the odd fancy dress party). The labels that have provided me with review copies include: 2L, Accent, ARTS Music, ATMA, Audite, Avanti, Avie, Capriccio, Carus, Channel Classics, CSO Resound, Cybele, Deutsche Grammophon, Etcetera, Exton, Hannsler, Linn, MDG, Oehms Classics, Neos, Pentatone, Tacet, Talent, Tudor |

| The type that is waiting to see a result that contradicts the currently available evidence. I don't like them either but until someone does a trial that is published in a repuptable, peer-reviewed journal unfortunately that's the situation we have to live with. No amount of me (or you or anyone else) wanting things to be different will change what ... more | |

| Bobbins. I and most scientists are content to leave groping around on most things to other people (otherwise we'd never have time to pursue something original in our own field as science is so vast these days, exponentially so compared to Keats' time) but we are content because we know that others have done this groping around and it is there to ... more | |

| re 1): I was talking, of course, in the context of products that have made into shops and showrooms. The boundaries of scientific understanding are constantly being expanded and thus revealing (even) more that we do not (yet) understand. However the same cannot be said for any car, microwave, space rocket, hi-fi/av equipment, pen, washing ... more | |
