Since we had a season subscription to the NY Philharmonic for many
years it's unlikely that he's seen more live performances than I have.
We also had a number of friends who were performing artists of various
types and I learned a lot from them. My oldest son is married to a
young lady who moonlights as a percussionist with several symphony
orchestras in the NYC area.

Nice.

I am far from being a highbrow but can appreciate some classical pieces
live or on a good audio system. My deceased German friend was big into
classical music and was also a true audiophile. He introduced me to a
piece (on CD) that he brought over to my house specifically for me to
hear on electrostatic speakers. It ****es me off because I can't
remember what it was for the life of me. I think it was by Bach and it
contained sections of brass that gave you goosebumps when played on the
electrostatics. I think it had a "9" in the title and I've tried
hunting for it with no success. Shoulda played more attention.

Bach wrote 6 Brandenburg Concertos, all of which are highly listenable
by just about anyone, and many contain some really nice Baroque brass
pieces.

I enjoy Baroque pieces written and recorded for organ and horn. Love
hearing a big old pipe organ along with a clean trumpet or English horn.
The electrostatic speakers reproduced the horns very realistically while
the 18" Velodyne servo driven sub rattled the dishes in the kitchen
reproducing the organ bass pedals.

Most people don't recognize that until you get to the last 45 seconds.
I have it on a CD from the Boston Pops. If you have a good system with
a sub woofer it will rock the house.



Wow! Gee whiz. Oh boy. How subtle...how sublime. Pyrotechnics! Cannons!

See, another guy who thinks this is only the last 45 seconds. ;-)
The piece runs about 12-15 minutes long depending on who is playing
it.


I'm familiar with the piece. Boomy program music, perfect for "showing
off" that you have a stereo.

Some times that might be just what I am in the mood for. I prefer it
to Led Z

You're right, they make a great addition to the overture. The Old Guard does a great
job with the cannons when the National Symphony does their thing for the 4th of July.

Of course, only we plebeians could enjoy such a thing. Much too vulgar for a highbred

Johnny, despite my advancing age, my ears still work pretty well, and I
don't need to listen to overblown overtures and schmaltzy pop
orchestrations to enjoy good music, or to show off the capabilities of a
mediocre stereo sound system.

What a joke you are, Krause. Is there an implication there that you must have great
ears to enjoy a certain type of music? Do you not have a volume knob on your
equipment?




Well, I wasn't specifically referring to loudness. I was referring to,
among other things, a person's range of hearing capability, the
frequencies one can hear, the harmonics one can hear, and also how one's
hearing is at various sound pressure levels.

I worked in computer rooms for 30 years, I need it loud and there is a
notch in my hearing around 3000-4000 hz.
I suppose you could make fun of the disabled tho. You seem to enjoy
it.

No, it doesn't. The enjoyment comes from what *is* heard, not from what is *not*
heard. That's true regardless of your hearing abilities.

For one who prides himself on his omniscience, you're not display much in this
thread.

that is a blessing or a curse. At least if it is a woman cursing, I
