Thanks Hillary. What would we do without you

How much will a pardon cost when you are President? The same price as
Mark Rich's or has it gone up in 8 years.

1) You are listening to a C Flute playing alone. Your RTA shows you
informatiuon at 170hz and 60hz. What is it showing?

2) If George Bush's conscience was measured, where would it show on
your RTA?

Wagner Meistersinger Act 3 Prelude
Toscanini
NBC Sym
1951 Carnegie Hall

This is real sound. I had to work on a very badly out of balance CD
and the resultant noise from boosting certain octaves. I don't have
the booklet. Fierro and Lacey or Johnson and Samuels?

I put the sound stage back to where it was on the master tape. I did
this by rebalancing the fundamental/harmonic balance

Was the microphone above AT's head or up Arthur Berv's nose?

A Question:

At the end of the first brass chorale where do you hear the written
pedal A (for F horn, concert D) for the fourth horn. Is it coming from
the same row that Mischakoff is sitting in or its it from way farther
back in Carnegie Hall where Arturo Cerino was realy sitting

Musically, Toscanini pushes the brass to a point where many sections
would have broken. THIS is Arthur Berv's finest hour of many fine
hours

At the risk of a one-line reference to a site , without comment, this
performance caught my fancy:

I know what I think, but would much prefer your thoughts. The video
does qualify as a "classical recording" I believe.

David's post on AT's Otello gave me the clue I needed to explain in
layman's English why recorded Music is phoney and Music killing

It is the false bringing up of the soundstage through the use of an
equalizer that moves only PART of the frqeucny spectrum. That
unbalances the fundametal/harmonics relationship and kills the sound

Anybody who does that does not have any understanding of the way sound
is created. With the capabilites of digtial it is being done to a
greater degree and with a twist.

The twist is that without having to worry about a stylus jumping they
are trying to force the deep bass forward. That is why Fierro's work
on the AT Collection is so bad. The forced deep bass presence has
destroyed the hall amnbience. The midrange and treble boost has
destroyed the musical blend with a blanket

One day people will realize that Music is bult from the fundamental UP
through the harmonics. Not the other way around. The attack is mostly
fundamental. Without the fundametal the architecture is destroyed and
the music sounds ridiclous. With the deep bass booss and the harmonics
boost, the fundamental is slighted.

this is the text from my post on Sax on the Web.
