In Reply to: The SKRYABIN / SVETLANOV Water Lily SACD is a sonic travisty and a slap in the face to anyone who loves realistic sound! posted by Teresa on July 21, 2005 at 19:26:11:
In an attempt to do as Teresa suggests, I played the only SACD I have that is (1) of a piano concerto, and (2) is on one of the labels she mentions—the Brahms No. 1 with Artur Rubinstein, Fritz Reiner and the CSO on RCA, then played the Water Lily SACD of the Svetlanov piano concerto. By comparison, it is the RCA recording that is the travesty, with a huge piano pasted into the soundstage in an incoherent, even combative relationship with the orchestra. The "space" depcted by this recording is completely unreal. The Water Lily, on the other hand, clearly depicts a pianist, on a stage, in front of an orchestra, in a room. (For the record, Kavi Alexander is a friend of mine, but I made this comparison, several times, for other people who do not know him, and their reactions were always the same as mine.) Dan Meinwald
