It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

You and Big B

I tip my hat to you both for your knowledge of and enthusiasm for older recordings. BTW, have you heard the new process available from Pristine Audio Direct for recovering high frequencies buried in the surface noise of pre-LP recordings. The samples on their web site sound promising from what I can tell. (They include the Weingartner/VPO Erioca, Faure played by Kathleen Long, the Schnabel/Sargent Emperor, etc.)

As for me, I'll never forget my first encounter with the Pro Arte Quartet - it was the Schnabel recording of the Trout Quintet. Within the first ten seconds of that performance, when the violinist slides up to that high note, I thought he'd been goosed! :-)

(BTW, I thought cognates, as they apply to language, were supposed to contain the same root word?)
