paulbiglane Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Good day sir back in 1976 Klipsch Pro was a big thing in the New Orleans area a Salesman came to a distributor of Klipsch in Gretna and played an album that had a flute Concerto in it that produced enough sound pressure that actually cause you to fall to your knees because of equilibrium,, pressure. My question is is there anybody left from back in the days can tell me what the name of that album was they were ran through a pair of LSi with a crown DC amp I've searched around and I cannot find it thank you for any input you can give me on this Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Okay, I understand that you're trying to trace down what a could have been a demo used Klipsch salesmen. This is in contrast to some wacky questions we get like, "I heard an album but can't remember the name." But as a wild guess based on little information let me suggest Rampal and Bolling. The album was big in that time period. Very good. light jazz. OTOH it is not quite up to screaming flutes bringing the listener to his knees. In rock, Jethro Tull, used flute. "Thick as a Brick" is a rocker but not too much flute. OTOH, "Bouree" by Tull, using flute, is a jazzed up version of Bach. . I'd suggest you row around YouTube for more Tull. You might find your tune. WMcD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom3 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Perhaps you are thinking of Deodato's version of Also Sprach Zarathrustra?That was popular for demoing speakers back then... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I'm betting on Rampal & Bolling, but you might also audition Alexander Zonjic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This one is quite likely since it was a very popular classical album at that time: https://www.discogs.com/Bach-Jean-Pierre-Rampal-The-Complete-Flute-Sonatas/release/3318439 Also found as part of a larger set of sonatas from other composers on CD: https://smile.amazon.com/Jean-Pierre-Rampal-Flute-Enchantée/dp/B000002ST6/ This recording is produced in stereo format--but was actually in mono--and has significant mastering EQ that would do what you mentioned ("...produced enough sound pressure that actually cause you to fall to your knees because of equilibrium pressure"). Of the famous Bach flute sonata recordings, this one still draws me to its interpretations and style more than more recent (and much better recorded) versions by other musicians.

Chris A Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 22 minutes ago, dwilawyer said: Which track or movement? Any one in particular? It's present in the first track (Sonata in B minor, BWV1030 -I. Andante) toward the end of the track. But it's also present in most of the louder tracks: B major BWV1033 II.Adagio, E major BWV1035 I. Adagio ma non tanto, E major BWV1035 III.Siciliano, etc. The reason for the "pressurization" is boosted highs on all the album's tracks--especially from 1 kHz to 10 kHz, and ramping attenuation of lows below 450 Hz.

I bet it it sounds very "live" on good recordings...and beats the crud out of anything else that you've heard out of a "monkey coffin". A recommendation: try placing a double layer of thick, soft, fuzzy material across the tops of the La Scalas and listen again for clarity and focus. It's cheap and easy to try, and if you don't like, it, it's easy to undo. Enjoy! Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album cover i remembered, names not so much. I'm not really into jazz much at all but that " Javanaise" is good (starts near 13 minutes). Will give the whole album a second listen later. Thank's for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
