Pete Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Remember AJZepp? He used to post on TBD, his friend Lana posted often too. AJ was big into playing classical music on hifi audiophile equipment. He knew his music. He emailed me a long list of his classical recommendations. I need to find it. 3 Quote

Would be interested in seeing that. In the headphones today - one of my favorite pieces of all time. Quote
The Jokeman Posted August 15 Posted August 15 I listen to all kinds of music including a classical playlist on Spotify. Mostly mainstream stuff and couldn't tell you composer if I tried. Quote
Poleshifter Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I love the Johan Strauss waltzes, and his other stuff. And Offenbach - there is a Can-Can theme which is great. I don’t listen too often, but enjoy it when the time is right. Quote

There was a guy who tested keyboards, and he used to play Pictures of an Exhibitionist (as he called it) on his keyboard, but he did it to a POLKA beat. First time I heard it, I actually fell out of my chair laughing! It was marvelous. The guy, Dan, was brilliant. Keith Emerson used to visit when he was in town, but I never got to see him. Later, Moog moved to Walden Ave to gear up for a bigger manufacturing effort. At that point, the company lost the family atmosphere that made working there so great.

Roundybout Posted September 3 Author Posted September 3 In the speakers today: One of my favorite symphonies by a little more uncommon composer, Edward Elgar. He’s most famous for Pomp and Circumstance, the song played at every graduation ever. It’s a great piece overall, but I’m especially drawn to the second movement, which is like a stirring march.

DaVinci Posted September 27 Posted September 27 The audio Quality is poor, but the energy and passion are unrivaled. You would think the world was about to explode. Quote
