Well, I will give Gergiev an audition but Oue??? Boring.

Que may be a tad boring but as far as recordings go is there any better? It has to be one of the finest recordings I've heard! and I'm suprised it was mentioned here so late in the post.
It is a superlative recording but I cannot listen to it as music for any length of time. I sample it for demos.
I am not one of those who revere archaic performances without question and I do really enjoy good sound. (Surprise?) OTOH, if I cannot enjoy the music/performance, I cannot really enjoy the overall experience.
"Kal said" if I cannot enjoy the music/performance, I cannot really enjoy the overall experience.
Wow this is quite a statement, then there is so much music you cannot enjoy?
The other night I was listening to Charlie Parker "Dial recordings"
and once you accept that the sound is compromised the music can be enjoyed
to it's fullest.
Parker is just an example they are 1000's of others.
And make no mistake I do enjoy good sound, and sure I would love to have the Bill Evans recordings souding like the new Chick Corea with Paul Motian and Eddie Gomes where the sound is so good that it becomes
part of the music, but there is so few of these around.
Your first two sentences seem to suggest that you disagree with my post but the rest of your post is quite in synch with my thoughts. Perhaps you misinterpreted what I said although you quote me correctly. You post that:
"Kal said" if I cannot enjoy the music/performance, I cannot really enjoy the overall experience.
This refers to the music (type, genre, composition) and to the performance (players, conductors) and not to the sound or other aspects of recording or reproduction. In other words, if I don't like what they are playing, I cannot enjoy the overall experience, regardless of how well it is recorded. Conversely, I can and do enjoy good music even if the recording quality is not excellent or modern.Perhaps you were confusing me someone else. ;-)

I can enjoy poor recordings is the performances are great!!
But I can't enjoy poor performances even is the recordings are good.

That is exactly what Kal is saying. The two of you agree
Alan
that he and I agree.

I had to pull out Que and give it listen and must admit it has a way of engaging the audiophile and music lover in me that very few recordings can (only five at best come to mind), it may have a slight nudge to the audiophile in me for precision.Is it because of an all out assault fidelity by RR to produce sound so good you may forget your listing to a performance? I can't say its not exciting at times because that would be a lie. It's one of the few performance /recordings you can close your eyes and almost sense the hall from which the recording was made and feel apart of the performance. As a still an up and comer of gauging performances perhaps a comparison is due! but I still feel that the recording itself may hinder the audiophile in me.
Hmm!
OUE.
Gee! Thanks, and just when you thought the editors did there job, someone is getting fired for this out rage (lol)!
I agree 100%, just to bad that it all comes together to rarely though!
