Classic Arturo Delmoni Gold CD Available Again

Classic Arturo Delmoni Gold CD Available Again

Dec 27, 2009
Back when there was still something called the "classical music industry," one of Stereophile's favorite small labels was John Marks Records, masterminded by the magazine's "The Fifth Element" columnist, John Marks. In fact, it was his recordings that first brought John to the magazine's attention. JMR had a phenomenal run of releases, among them Arturo Delmoni and Meg Bachman Vas's Songs My Mother Taught Me, Nathaniel Rosen's cycle of J.S. Bach's Suites for Solo Cello, Delmoni and Rosen's Music for a Glass Bead Game, and the three Rejoice recordings of Christmas music for string quartet (also featuring Delmoni and Rosen). That's a pretty solid run for a label that released fewer than 20 recordings.

<I>Stereophile</I> is happy to start off another year, only one issue behind our published schedule. For most magazine subscribers, this would seem a confession of weakness; underground aficionados will, however, know what I'm talking about. We did in fact publish eight issues last year, but the first one happened to be Volume 6, Number 6 (the last issue in that volume), so that puts us still one behind. Ambitiously, I predict we'll get out nine (count them, <I>9</I>) issues in 1985 and catch up with our schedule.

Stereophile Buyer's Guide

Submitted by roadcykler on

Since seeing the ad in the latest issue that the Buyer's Guide was on newsstands now, I've visited two national chain bookstores on three occasions and a couple of other stores and none of them have it. Has the publication been delayed or has shipping them out been delayed? I'd really like to get one but don't want to pay the high shipping and handling from Stereophile. Ideas?

Charlie Parker's "White Christmas"

I’m a little late with this, but if you’re still in holiday spirits, can’t stand to hear Paul McCartney’s ditty or Mel Torme’s jingle one more time, and cringe, thoroughly bummed out, at Bob Dylan’s piss-brew of raspy cheer, take a listen to Charlie Parker’s take of “White Christmas.”

One thing that never seems to be discussed here or in magazines is product consistancy.

We are dealing with pretty small differences in sound quality with the high end units, if one component in their manufacture is faulty or out of spec this can have a massive effect on the sound quality. An out of spec resistor, a leaky cap, a poor P-N junction on an op amp there are numerous possibilities.

I beleive this is a real issue, ive bought/auditioned units and experienced bad sound quality when i should have had great sound quality.
