Rachmaninov: Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 3 - Scherbakov        (1 of 1 found this review helpful)
  February 1, 2006

I really cannot add much to drdanfee's previous review. Scherbakov plays as part of the ensemble and, as such, he is not overly up-front in the recording. The sound is more natural to my untrained, non-musician's ears than the in-your-face recordings of soloists I hear so often. I have only heard ... more
Christy Baron: Steppin'        (1 of 2 found this review helpful)
  January 7, 2006

I had blessedly forgotten about this terrible mis-step in the career of Christy Baron until I came upon the reviews here. I can't comment on the sonics of the SACD--I've only had the sad experience of listening to the original redbook CD. This is truly wretched, folks. Christy is a wonderful singer ... more

Shameless plug - my personal photography gallery
April 3, 2006
Personally, I'm overjoyed to see film-based photography displayed anywhere these days--even if it is on a digital medium. I've been a photographer for over 30 years.

There were some outstanding performances recorded prior to the advent of stereo, let alone DSD. I still buy redbook CD's. Some are pretty darn good in sonics. Many great performances are not ... more
Any more Mercury's?
March 3, 2006
I also was not familiar with the MLP or LS recordings back in the day, so I don't think nostalgia had much to do with their attraction for me either. Personally I've found their performances and recordings to be superior to most of what is being done currently. Maybe the reason is more reactionary than nostalgic. I admit, I'm kind of fed up with ... more
Discussion: Eden Atwood: This is Always
February 16, 2006
This is a pretty lame performance. I love Eden's previous albums--even the bossa-nove album and I'm not a great fan of that stuff. I guess everyone's entitled to a nap every now and then. ... more
Living Stereo SACD @ Tower $8.99
January 14, 2006
The sound of the SACD stereo layer is pretty superior in itself. I don't think the lack of surround sound is a minus at all in these recordings. ... more
