In Reply to: RE: Do you like how the violin section of an orchestra sounds live? posted by Teresa on July 01, 2012 at 03:46:38
(well, not in the sense that you were thinking :-) )
For years, Ms. Teresa has been railing against the RBCD format and how it makes violins sound harsh. NOW, we learn that she doesn't like the sound of real violins because they sound harsh! Not only that, she talks about "formerly" liking classical music. When did she stop liking such music? She continues to talk about it on other fora as if she is an expert (BTW, it's arco not argo - and you were told that several weeks ago in another thread).
So let me get this straight - live orchestral violins sound harsh; recordings of orchestral violins on RBCD sound harsh; ergo, the problem is with RBCD. Seems quite logical to me. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!

Spell check always misses this everything as it's not a misspelling but an incorrect word use. Since I have been calling arco argo for many decades it may take many years for it to sink in that arco is the correct word.BTW while is not as offensive with musical instruments I like the sound of, a combination of violins played with a bow and RBCD is painful for me to endure. With other forms of music such as big band jazz or rock RBCD is merely just not enjoyable.
Real violins heard live are not really harsh just not enjoyable, as long as there is brass, winds and percussion to balance them out they aren't too bad live. In other words I never liked string quartets, string orchestras and violin concertos live. However it is RBCD and only RBCD where violins sound harsh.
It was about two months ago when I woke-up and discovered I didn't like classical music anymore. The weirdest thing that every happened to me, since classical music was my favorite style for 38 years despite the use of string instruments played with a bow.
"Happy Listening,
Teresa."

Where did she say that?
I did in answering his post but not in relation to violins played live, I just said I don't like how massed strings sound live in a concert hall.
