A blog about LP to CD transfers, record collecting, music and musicians of past and present - and much more. Monday, November 27, 2006. Thinning down my collection. Appraising one’s records over the years brings a bulimic collector to the point where he has to restrain his diet to the essential or burst. Essential. Being something else for me and something else for you. Of course. Then let me see: which are mine. Look at the batches of repeated items on your shelves: how many Eroicas. Then pick the worse.

A blog about LP to CD transfers, record collecting, music and musicians of past and present - and much more. Thursday, September 07, 2006. In a modern recording today (digital of course) voices are analogue, musical instruments are analogue, ambient sound in the recording venue is analogue; even mikes feeding the digital monster are analogue. So where does digital enter in real life? In storing. Not. Reproduction. Reproduction reverts to analogue through your amp and loudspeakers. Right? LP to CD tips.

Extraordinary timbre . engrossing technique and exciting bravura . [His playing] electrified the audience . the listeners urged encore after encore". A soulful narrative and a tone that was rich and vibrant as Jascha Heifetz's". An impassioned performance . of great excitement (Bruch Concerto) . There were many moments of thrilling virtuosity . and a melting tone". The evening's adventure came with Hagai Shaham's performance of the Sibelius violin concerto . Here is a soloist so involved with the mus...

A blog about LP to CD transfers, record collecting, music and musicians of past and present - and much more. Thursday, November 20, 2008. The younger the better? Rather missing from the later one and the voices were much fresher and involved in the proceedings. Maybe not much, but that small margin that makes a world of difference. So why is it that so often older recordings are musically more satisfying? Is there some conclusion to be drawn from this? With the music played/sung? They become self conscio...

There are very few things perfect in this world. Moravec’ Chopin Nocturnes recorded in 1965 for the Connoisseur Society must be one of them. You may wonder: so many great pianists having tackled these works in concert and at the studio in fact everyone! How can you say that? PS A friend sent a comment to point...

A blog about LP to CD transfers, record collecting, music and musicians of past and present - and much more. Monday, August 28, 2006. Win some, lose all? The thriving second hand market for vinyl LPs and the equally strong surge of official and unofficial reissues of past recordings, bring to mind the storm that blew over a huge heritage of recorded music with the advent of stereo. But this is a topic to which one should return again and again. Posted by the third man at 11:39 AM. Links to this post.

A blog about LP to CD transfers, record collecting, music and musicians of past and present - and much more. Tuesday, June 20, 2006. Orchestras and their sound. You can tell an old hand by one's ability to recognize the particular sound of an orchestra, of a pianist, of a violinist. The task is easier whith singers. Even the most inexperienced opera lover can tell Pavarotti from Carreras and Bruson from Bastiannini (though it is not exactly that. Or the Saarbruecken RSO from the Rotterdam Philharmonic?
