I've been a regular concert-goer for forty years, and my musical appreciation is certainly a match for many musicians. OTOH, as a long-term audiophile, my sense of the *fidelity* of a reproduced musical event is certainly more acute than that of most of the professional musicians of my acquaintance. In point of fact, musos are *notorious* for their poor hi-fi rigs, since they are generally listening on a different plane. Stewart. You have admitted earlier that you have no musical training or qualifications, and from your derisory comments regarding the works of Jean Sibelius, regarded by many as the greatest composer of the C20th, it is clear that you have a poor understanding of composition and classical form. Your role, as a concert goer is purely passive. Sibelius is just OK. I much prefer Bartok and Stravinsky and Janacek, myself. Btw, Sibelius' reputation has hardly been monolithically solid. It has never been a faux pas to *not* consider him the *greatest* composer of the 20th C -- nor even to consider him something much less than that. With no formal training, it is fairly certain that your level of aural perception is far below that of a professional musician. Nonsense. Check out the stereo system of the average 'professional musician', and compare it to Stewart's. -- -S "The most appealing intuitive argument for atheism is the mindblowing stupidity of religious fundamentalists." -- Ginger Yellow |
