Where does Billy Joel's classical piano attempt of Fantasies and Delusions rank in real classical music terms?

What cables would be best suited between Magnapan 1.6 qr loudspeakers and a McIntosh MA2275 Integrated amp for the best midrange & soundstage experience? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Aloha,

Ol' Wolfgang's 250th birthday was yesterday.

That called for a little champagne and Eine Kleine Nacht Music, then Karl Bohm's 35-41 Berlin Philharmonics on Deutsche Grammophon.

I really like Bohm. I don't know if his name is hailed or is anathema, but I have a soft spot for him.

Part of it may be that back in the day, I just automatically associated enjoyable classical tunes with the black and yellow of DG LP's, so when I see that sort of cover, perhaps I get less critical.

We ended the evening with String Quartets 14 - 23 by Gerhard Schulz.

Thoughts? I own the remasted LP and the remastered CD with the bonus take...the CD sounds clearer with more stable images, but the lp is slightly fuller...at least to me. Both are excellent. John Marks piece is excellent in FEB issue.

Hi everybody,

If you've been to Brasil you understand that the music is great! If you haven't been there you need to go now! or just check out the sounds of Sergio Mendes. His new cd (Timeless) comes out on Valentine's Day and it's just the right music to relax to It's sooooo chill. I heard about it at Universal Music... It was sooo random.

Please recommend an audiophile quality album of solo Conga Drums or Drum Kit? A kind of CD that has lifelike power and dynamic range!
