- Did you listen to Faust's Bach yet? The last movt of the 6th is a barn-burning hoedown. Also, the way she - jdaniel@jps.net 13:46:41 01/22/18 (50)

- There *is* vibrato in Faust's Bach, just not Wurlitzer Organ style. Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 11:50:05 01/23/18 (11)
- That's true - Faust does play with a type of "politically correct" eensy-weensy vibrato! - Chris from Lafayette 12:36:24 01/23/18 (10)
- RE: "some of her sustained notes are without any vibrato at all."... - Ivan303 13:41:35 01/23/18 (1)

- Hmm. . . trying to change the subject, are we? Who said anything about high heels? [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 14:58:15 01/23/18 (2)
- Hmmm. You opened the door with your comments about PC and Sandals. I don't blame you when trying to defend - jdaniel@jps.net 17:22:48 01/23/18 (1)
- Dunno, jdaniel - it's a pretty large leap from Birkenstocks to stilettos - at least IMHO [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 21:41:21 01/23/18 (0)

- OK, very good CHINESE DAC.... - Ivan303 19:38:53 01/22/18 (3)

- Hi! It's just me raining on your parade again! - Chris from Lafayette 15:31:42 01/22/18 (25)
- Still not sure if you even showed up to the parade? And "Hoedown" was figurative. If you listened to samples - jdaniel@jps.net 17:05:18 01/22/18 (24)
- Yup - samples only - all I needed [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 17:11:25 01/22/18 (23)
- Yeah, well, they don't do justice to the keyboard. You still haven't offered up an alternative. : ) nt - jdaniel@jps.net 17:12:49 01/22/18 (22)

- You're a nice guy, but it' so slow, stodgy, shapeless, unimaginative, directionless... - jdaniel@jps.net 18:45:20 01/22/18 (18)
- I'm sure that with some maturity and some sober, quiet reflection. . . - Chris from Lafayette 19:13:51 01/22/18 (17)
- Good Lord, so much dust emanated from my computer speakers that I had to grab a Swiffer. - jdaniel@jps.net 19:50:51 01/22/18 (16)

- At least recommend a performance that doesn't embody everything that's wrong with "traditional" Bach. ; ) nt - jdaniel@jps.net 22:15:20 01/22/18 (14)
- ALL 5-star Reviews! ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 00:28:22 01/23/18 (13)
- Good for Zim's claque : ), but the mov't in question is too slow. That's a fact. - jdaniel@jps.net 08:11:01 01/23/18 (1)

- OK! Here we go! - Chris from Lafayette 14:38:12 01/23/18 (2)
- Well, Pace's performance is enough for you, that's all that matters. To me it's as bland as Birkenstock Tan. N - jdaniel@jps.net 14:52:22 01/23/18 (1)
