Teresa's Adventures at SA-CD.net

98.248.68.220

Very amusing. A couple of comments I loved:

Robert von Bahr, in total frustration at Teresa's assertions and opinions (which, in true shoot-from-the-hip hit-or-miss fashion, are right every so often): "Even a blind hen picks a corn sometimes."

Another poster describes Teresa as "the Sarah Palin of SA-CD.net".

Please please please keep her away from here. I'd rather be pecked to death by a herd of rabid chickens than spend even a nano-second playing on her logic-lawn.

Boy am I glad she no longer posts on this forum.

Teresa has from the beginning stoked frustration and anger at sa-cd.net Robert defends his recordings and quite honestly there is every reason to support what he is saying. Teresa refuses to listen to the Vanska Beethoven even when she was offered a free set. Truth be told, she doesn't want to be proven wrong as she was before about resolution and BIS recordings.

  consequence to be feared. BIS records many composers that other labels would not touch. Most of my collection of the music of Alfred Schnittke is on BIS and I am greatful that they made the effort to comprehensively record it, and in good sound as well. They should be praised and not denigrated. I think there comes a time when a person as unstable as Teresa should be called out loudly, banned, and ignored for all the damage she is capable of doing.

      I have to admit, I do miss her a bit. Was always good comic relief to come into 'hi-rez' from time to time to see the shit she had started. LMAO! Would I be a sexist if I said I wonder what she looks like?

I remember from the days of LPs that Robert von Bahr was testy and defensive of his recordings and pressing quality. When there were complaints about noisy pressings, he was quick to jump into the fray and to defend himself vigorously. So it's not surprising that he is doing the same now. He was never able to admit there was a problem. I had bought a lot of his LPs and thought the quality had slipped.

Since Bis has stopped doing DSD recording, I am very careful now with my purchases of Bis SACDs. I will buy the CDs or SACDs if the music is compelling and the price is right. I recently bought the complete Villa Lobos Choros and Bachianas Brasileiras. Seven CDs for the price of three. Unfortunately I have never listened past the second CD. The distant sound is mediocre and doesn't serve the colorful music.

Apparently Bahr has made an economic decision, as he did in the LP era. The market seems to be accepting lower sampling rates, even when issued on SACDs. I would prefer the 2L model -- recording at the highest rate possible. It's my opinion that this leads to the best sound quality.

  I was not aware of von Bahr's history of defensiveness. I do think that some of those BIS Grieg and Sibelius recordings (especially the ones with Vänskä) are tremendous. However, I did pick up one disc in their Elgar series with Otaka and the BBC Wales Orchestra which is just as you say in describing your Villa Lobos recordings - too distantly recorded to have much color and impact. I also have a couple of the Vänskä/Minnesota Beethoven symphony SACD's, and I like them, although they too could have a bit more solidity and impact.
  
  Re 2L - I couldn't agree more. They're the standard in resolution right now, but of course there are other factors that go into the making of a great recording - many of which 2L also gets right! As we mentioned before, 2L is one company that definitely knows what it's doing! :-)

Maybe she could petition Al Gore to have everyone banned from the Internet ... since everyone seems to disagree with her rantings. I am sure that she must have some lucid moments, but maybe she needs her meds adjusted a bit.

  Yeah - possibly. You have to remember however that I was NOT in favor of her being banned from this site. And actually, I believe our posts (hers and mine) were mostly pretty cordial here. I still think what's going on over at SA-CD.net is pretty amusing however. :-)

  I don't have time to read every single forum out there. For me, this was a good way to catch up on Teresa's latest adventures.

    . . . of Perri Knize's "Grand Obsession". I'm about 5/7 of the way through it. I'm enjoying it very much, even though I'm a bit ambivalent about the author herself - she seems to be one of those vinyl nuts, as well as an obsessive-compulsive about her piano. :-)
    
    Very interesting information however about all the factors which can influence the sound of a piano, as well as the frustration of not being able to keep the instrument's sound at a certain level of beauty, once you attain that "ideal" quality. It makes me think of the old proverb about how beauty cannot be captured and held. It also made me think about the parallels to our sound reproduction equipment - which seems to sound different on different days! I've always chalked that phenomenon up mostly to psychology (speaking for myself anyway), but I'm sure there are physical factors too - just not as many as with pianos. :-)
    - Glad you are enjoying it. Keep reading... - Charles Hansen 23:00:01 10/26/09 (0)
      ...there is a surprise ending to her quest! But even the tacked on ending about how the wood is grown in Bavaria, with certain trees suited for pianos and others for violins is fascinating stuff.
