Orchestral Music System Videos - Symphonic or Tone Poems, etc.


Janus Starker survived WW2 Labor Camps. He once walked out on a performance because he was not allowed to smoke at a venue.
This is 1965 recording which is still the ‘gold standard for crystalline tone and zero sentimentality.’

This presents the tone and energy of the cello. Fabulous.
 
Here is Shostakovich Cello Concerto NO.1 on Vinyl - Cadenza and a little more :)

Please excuse the sirens from the emergency responders driving by in the early part of the video.


Best wishes,
Don

Don, this sounds great. What recording is this? Thank you.
 
That part from around 6th minute onwards sounds great.
Thank you, Kedar!

I had only intended to originally record the cadenza, but like you say... right about the 6 minute mark I was getting so wrapped up into the music that I couldn't stop recording it. I'm glad that you enjoyed it :)

Best wishes,
Don
 

Thanks Don. I bought the LP with the two cello concertos from Amazon. Different cover from this one with the symphonies. I appreciate it.

Another Starker solo different piece

 

This is a nice string trio by a young group.


Hi Yan your system is indeed excellent and the Beethoven trio is also playing great.

I have noticed on your recordings there is an ambience, in a good way, and the digital LP of Shostakovich 8 is also sounding quite analog. I think your Zyx is doing a lot here. TAD drivers do have lot of insight. You will surely record some of these again on DST, but can you please record a couple on vdh? Especially the Shostakovich 8, and possibly the Beethoven string trio?
