Live Music

[Greg.]

I've just got home from a concert by the Bornmouth Symphony Orchestra, 'A Viennese evening'. Lots of waltzes, polkas and marches and three pieces with a quality soprano. It really is great to get out and hear the live music and particularly with no microphones or other electronic assistance. Also, it's great to refresh the benchmark from which I judge my sound at home. My New Year resolution is to get out more and sample more of that live stuff.

Best wishes,

Greg

Hi Greg

Ha yes very commendable but when comparing live music with reproduced music dont you become a little disenchanted.

Hi Acorn,

No mate, I don't. Listening environment is very different but then, system is also very good

Best wishes,

Greg, a good NY resolution; I assume you visited the Colston Hall?

I came across this article which was an interesting read.

Hi Ray,

Interesting article. A good read which rather touches on some of the things I was thinking about after the concert which, yes, was at the Colston Hall. Another thought I had related to the age of the audience. Hardly anyone was below the age of 60. I wonder what will be the demand for live acoustic music once this generation passes on. The future does look a bit bleak.

Best wishes,

Greg

Shouldn't think so Greg. It's not until one is more of a "mature" age that this type of music you referred to appeals! However, having said that, personally I can't stand it either - it reminds me of an ancient Aunt who I'm sure had an orgasm whenever she heard the "White Horse Inn" by bl**dy Frans Lehar!!
