Very stupid comment. People tend to have stupid opinions about new techology.
Thanks for your astute and thorough response.
Well, I am tired now. I am going soon to bed. It's typical people with limited technological knowledge use "colourful" language of new technology before it becomes familiar, normal and accepted. 10 years and nobody calls Gould "06" electronic ventriloquism (verbaly innovative expression but sadly reveals only lack of techonogical understanding - it's all prejudice.)The performance is acoustic, not electronic. It's played on acoustic piano. We have Gould's performance because he recorded it in 1955. We just had to develop an extremely sophisticated method to "read" it from the original recording.
71db, I am all for technology just like yourself. But one of the biggest advantages of technology is that it gives people more options to choose from. IT is great that you and I can enjoy Gould's performance in a modern, digital sound. But that does not have to be the only way to enjoy Gould from now on.
Don, do I remember you not liking the Schepkin as well as others?
Gilbert/Harmonia Mundi
A friend I borrow CDs from/to has this one and praised it to me today. I'll borrow it someday!
And this information is useful to us how? ....... how, exactly?
Expect my opinion about it in the future.
Larry Rinkel? Isn't he the guy who berates Harry about his conspicuous consumption patterns?
All the coolest freethinkers would hang there, Jack!
Yes I believe that's the Larry we are talking about! I'm not really sure what happened but all of a sudden I saw him as a guest on GMG, he must have left us. A real shame though, he was one of the most knowledgable members I have come across at GMG. I sensed that he had studied a lot of music theory that went well beyond the basics (which is where my knowledge ends)- it was often difficult for me to respond or comment on many of his posts as I felt he surpassed me on many accounts. I hope one day he would change his mind and return. marvin
My only point of reference prior to this is the Gould '55. Tonight should be interesting...
You're in for a treat then, because the '81 blows it out of the water, IMO.
