sharing lunch with my mother, the CD is playing three rooms away on my computer.
her commentaires lays on "how precise is the sound from that CD" side of things... i smile and i explain her that actually the CD is a remastering of an old analogic recording, so the sound quality has no reason to be brilliant (though excellent considering when it has been recorded).... moreover, my computer loudpseakers are really bad quality, so that adds up... she looks a bit embarassed and i try to find a way out for her and for me too, because actually what i'm listening is really something great.
so that's it... it's Rachmaninoff himself playing... if you know what you're doing and meaning, it will go through no matter what.

always ask for people who know what they're doing deep inside themselves... colors are different, and things just flow.
i recall reading Physics books from Landau, Von Neumann, Heisenberg.... compared to the mushy physics explained on most reference textbooks, "their" Physics is really tackling things on the core side.

enjoy this recording

Solo Works & Transcriptions is a 1989 BMG Music recording starring Rachmaninoff as he plays his own works. These have originally been recorded between 1925 and 1942. It is truly magical to hear the composer himself play the music the way he himself intended it to be played. The booklet contains short unsigned music notes. Truly a magical listening experience. Highly recommended. 5/5.
