To simplify: you understand what musician A is playing about and you don't understand what musician B is playing about. I can't explain that, you have to listen by yourself. One correction: Russian speaking musicians studied in Russia.
Another example: How would you sing in German (or Russian) if you don't speak German (or Russian)? I'm more than tolerant about speaking accents, but I think that accents are killing music. It can't be called a Chinese "interpretation" of Russian music played by American orchestra. It sounds the same as I would call my Chinese speaking (I know only "ni hao" in Chinese) my own interpretation of the Chinese language. While at the same time I absolutely adore Chinese guzheng played by a Chinese master. gharris999;255826 Wrote: > > But I'll take your advice and try to pick up some more recordings by > Kondrashin, Svetlanov and Rozhdestvensky. Thanks. Fedoseev, Pletnev, Gilels, Richter, Kissin, Volodos, Bashmet, Rostropovich (not as a conductor!) and the list goes on and on (in no particular order). -- alekz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alekz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41824 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
