OK - NOW HEAR THIS! - Chris from Lafayette 15:17:13 01/23/18 (1)

Shhhh! I'm listening to Faust's superior performance. Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 15:55:08 01/23/18 (0)

I'll never know, Hyperion refuses to release their catalog to the streaming services. :-( /n - Ivan303 11:42:50 01/22/18 (51)

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)

Water... Water... Please WATER! - Ivan303 19:44:43 01/22/18 (17)

I'm very sensitive to dryness, but didn't hear any at all. Maybe salt's gotten into your speakers? : ) nt - jdaniel@jps.net 19:51:54 01/22/18 (16)

It's not the audio system and it's a fine recording... - Ivan303 20:04:14 01/22/18 (15)

Ooh! That's probably one area where jdaniel and I agree: these sonatas have many facets! - Chris from Lafayette 21:54:42 01/22/18 (14)

OK, to clarify.... - Ivan303 10:23:41 01/23/18 (13)

And yet, Geminiani (a contemporary of Handel), said that. . . - Chris from Lafayette 10:40:50 01/23/18 (12)

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)

OK, nothing wrong with playing in tune - Chris from Lafayette 14:55:47 01/23/18 (0)

Ah, she doesn't wear high heels. I *knew* that's what all this is about. Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 13:23:48 01/23/18 (7)

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, just about to crank up my 'Very Good DAC'.... - Ivan303 18:48:12 01/22/18 (5)

I thought it had to be a certain kind of Chinese DAC? [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 19:15:26 01/22/18 (4)

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

Must be OK then! - My DAC is Canadian, so that's probably why I'm immune. . . - Chris from Lafayette 19:49:04 01/22/18 (2)

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)

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)

Sober. . . quiet. . . reflection. . . [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 21:30:13 01/22/18 (15)

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)

The claque is strong! Soon, you will see the light too [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 10:22:16 01/23/18 (0)

You won't be sorry - this is wonderful music! - Chris from Lafayette 10:19:44 01/23/18 (9)

Speaking of variety, where's Pace's improv/ornamentation? Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 10:27:59 01/23/18 (8)

It's there, but it's reserved and tasteful! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 10:42:53 01/23/18 (7)

Where? Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 11:45:19 01/23/18 (6)

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)

Yes, but it's YOUR type of aficionados who tend to wear Birkenstocks [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 15:02:04 01/23/18 (0)

jdaniel - I'm your friend! Do you think I would lie to you? - Chris from Lafayette 12:39:45 01/23/18 (2)

Your pianist's Xmas tree sounds awfully-bare. But you enjoy Bach your way. Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 13:26:08 01/23/18 (1)

Agreed! Vibrato shouldn't be an issue in those performances! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 00:37:08 01/22/18 (0)

No. You should have checked in with me first...nt - oldmkvi 22:49:53 01/21/18 (0)
