NHT Returns to a New Marketplace

NHT Returns to a New Marketplace

<A HREF="http://nhthifi.com/">NHT</A&gt; is back. Less than five months after the veteran speaker company, aka Now Hear This, <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/nht_takes_a_break/">declared</A&gt; that it would sell off remaining inventory, pay its bills, and spend time rethinking its future, it has regrouped and returned with a new marketing approach.

Violin players

OK

Going to ask a question that might sound dumb but as usual thats never stopped me before !!

Anne Sophie Mutter and Janine Jansen are both very reputable players yet there music leaves me cold it just doesnt sound right somehow. Hilary Hahn and Rachel Barton Pine have the exact opposite effect, their sound just draws me in and sounds so emotional.

What causes this, is it the player, the music, the instrument or my mood at that point in time ?

Any comments?

Gil Evans' Out of the Cool in 45rpm

Gil Evans' Out of the Cool in 45rpm

Acoustic Sounds, Chad Kassem’s Oz of analog wonders, has expanded its line of 45rpm jazz reissues to the Impulse! catalogue. Like the Blue Notes, which Kassem and Mike Hobson’s Classic Records have already covered (at 45, 33-1/3, 180g, 200g, black vinyl, clear vinyl, just about any format you might imagine), the great Impulse! albums were engineered by Rudy Van Gelder and featured the masters of their day—Coltrane, Mingus, Rollins, and, one of the most innovative big-band arrangers in modern jazz, Gil Evans.
