I was reading an article recently about how an artist digitized their catalog in the 80s because LPs were supposedly often compressed due to the limitations of the format and that CDs had about 96db of headroom. I have noticed some digitally DR compressed CDs do tend to sound warmer. I thought someone might […]

They tell us …. Hitchcock describes his songs as “paintings you can listen to.” Love From London ”celebrates life in a culture imperiled by economic and environmental collapse,” he says. “We are surfing on the momentum of chaos. If a consensus on global warming comes from the people, then the media, the politicians, and […]

Roel Weerheijm, studied at Dutch Literature answers … Chopin is very likely the only important 19th century composer whose musical oeuvre largely ignores Beethovens influence and innovations.

Most of my real listening is on vinyl. I don’t even own a cd player, or have a disc drive on my computer. One of the things I’ve noticed of late is that I like the sound on older records than I do on newer pressings. For example, I have a newer pressing of […]

Hi Howard, So pleased to hear that a piece of classical music had such a profound effect on you. The problem is these days is that the recordings just aren’t being made like they used to be. In schools many youngsters are not exposed to the breadth and depth of music that’s available, past and […]
Now I’ve never consciously tried, but I don’t think I am capable of picking out a musical “personality” in the way mentioned. I tend to like what I like, for reasons often ill-defined, or not defined at all. It would appear that, after 30-odd years of classical listening, I still have a very long way […]
