kenratboy Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Listened to this song (the ~12 minuite piano only version) with my system. I am convinced it would sound better on a better system (still Klipsch) and the highs were a bit dry (to my ears), but it did sound amazing and all the detail was there, the emotion, every little thing. The mids and bass were great, the SUB-12 did not draw attention to itself, but had some authority on low notes (blended very well). These speakers rock for anything loud, but also seem to do very well on music normally reserved for wussy bookshelf speakers with 5" woofers and a dome tweeter with a sheep intestine dome[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom3 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The Bernstein/ NYP 1959 version has been resissued. It's still the definitive symphonic reading. Yes, there is a little tape hiss in the quiet passages, but the performance is still the benchmark. The CD comes with American in Paris (of course) and Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite. Sorry, it's early and I can't lay my hands on the CD to give you the label/number. Amazon has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom3 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Sony 63086. It's the Columbia Symphony, BTW, not the NY Philly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
