In Reply to: RE: Satie! HIP Satie at that. posted by Ivan303 on July 11, 2016 at 17:25:58
Only had time for the three Gymnopedies. Two things struck me. One, the piano really sounds different. Two, she plays with more accents on the "melody" line. I remember other Satie recordings to be much more flowing and smooth. I'll try to find time to listen to the rest tonight.
By the way. eclassical.com has just put Vadim Gluzman's two Prokofiev Violin Concertos up for sale (special price of $9.05 which includes 24/96 surround)!

Listening now using VLC on my laptop with USB out to Audio=GD DAC/Headphone amp, which is NOT a bad system, even from the MacBook Air.
Still haven't figured out how to load downloads into iTunes/Bit Perfect on my main system Mac Mini but should have that done soon.
Yes, of course it's fantastic.
G L U Z M A N !
Maybe I'm missing something here, but, once you've converted the FLAC's to AIFF's (iTunes doesn't play nice with FLAC's), don't you just need to move the AIFF's into your iTunes music folder, and then the next time you open iTunes, select "Add to Library" from the File menu, find and select the folder you just added, and. . . Voila! It should be there?
Since I downloaded the multi-channel file, I don't use iTunes for playback in any case. (iTunes doesn't play nice with hi-rez multi-channel either!) In any case, I've only listened to the first and third movements of the Prokofiev 2 (my favorite violin concerto) so far - dynamite performance AND engineering, even though I've heard more subterranean bass drums on a couple of other recordings. It's so exciting for me, now that eClassical is making their new BIS multi-channel files available - I think they will be releasing the long delayed final installment of the Vanska/Minnesota Sibelius Symphonies very soon too.
Now all that remains is to compare Gluzman with Heifetz and JJ. I was just checking through the listings though, and it looks as if I've missed a couple recently:
I wonder if that's leather that Mayuko is wearing. . .
1. Take silver disk out of jewel case.
2. Put silver disk in CD tray.
3. Push 'play' on remote control.
That's how Ivan rolls!
I just thought you were somehow puzzled by the process of getting hi-rez downloads into your iTunes library.
And besides, you left out a few steps:
1. Find the jewel case in the first place (not always easy!)
2. Take the silver disc out of the jewel case
3. Put the silver disc in the CD tray
4. Press 'play' on the remote control
5. When the disc is done, press 'open' on the remote control
6. Take the disc from the tray and put it back into the jewel case
7. Press 'close' on the player or the remote control
8. Put the jewel case back on the shelf and hope you remember where it is the next time you want to listen to that particular CD.
As I said, nothing wrong with this. ;-)
Sad to say I often ignore 5 through 8. =:-0
Did forget one though, and that is getting the plastic wrap off the new jewel case.
And yes, like most of the files on my computer, I have no idea where many of my CDs are 'filed' away at any one time. Good news is, as prices drop, I can always buy duplicates.
(Notwithstanding the asking prices of certain CD's!)
Why am I not finding a CD/SACD on Amazon, even for pre-order?
