4.0 out of 5 stars
Still golden, despite sonic flaws,
By JayMusic "jaymusic" (NJ, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Further Conversations With Myself (Audio CD)
To hear the mind of Bill Evans playing against the mind of Bill Evans is always extraordinary. Many of his middle-period Verve recordings suffer from a "boxy" and often tinny piano sound, but getting deeper inside what he did with harmonic possibilities is always an adventure. This is one of the least successful engineered Verve recordings, and their reissue doesn't help much, but he's just so damn good, I've learned to live with it, and just immerse myself in those rich chords and flowing lines. Those who want to hear EXQUISITE-SOUNDING Evans overdubbing himself, with clarity and no tape noise, check out his Warner Bros' 1978 album "New Conversations"!

Mostly a pleasure, warts and all,

This review is from: Further Conversations With Myself (Audio CD)
The review criticizing the tech flaws of the original recording has a point, and Verve should have cleaned this reissue up if possible. But the music shines and Evans fans shouldn't be warned away. My old LP version of this was pressed improperly (out of round), so this acqusition finally lets me hear everything in tune. It's (mostly) a great pleasure.

1.0 out of 5 stars
severe over-modulation ruins Bill Evans performance,
By A Customer
This review is from: Further Conversations With Myself (Audio CD)
The attempt by Bill Evans was to create another "Conversations with Myself", his overdub masterpiece wherein he played 4 hands and 6 hands arrangements with himself.His good perfomances are marred by severe distortion, Verve's recording was over-modulated. The distortion is so bad that it distracts from the perfomance with annoying frequency. three stars for performance, minus two stars for technical recording.
