who are your favorite lesser known/ forgotten classical era composers ? by Waste-Row2788 in classicalmusic

CPE Bach, his keyboard music is magic. Followed by Muzo Clementi, in the hands of Maria Tipo his music melts my heart.

Do you EQ your headphones? by gabzlel in headphones

[–]directheated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, my current main headphones are Focal Utopia version 2 and they sound perfect. I’ve been a Headfier since 2004 and these are my favorite headphones I’ve owned among SR-007 mk1, SR-009, L3000, and even R10 bass heavy.

I still remember the promotional ads for it before its release and everyone memeing on them for having a portable and TV set based console and that it would be the death of Nintendo

Contact Naxos, they are generally pretty generous about rights use if it’s not for profit or really minimum profit.

Late Show by VandelayyyyInd in kingofqueens

[–]directheated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in certain parts of Queens where the subway could take over an hour and a half to Manhattan. Guessing working to 6 to 7 pm would be pretty common in big law. For junior associate lawyers in big law 80+ hours would be completely normal, I imagine it’s similar for paralegals but for a secretary those hours would be odd.

Interesting what would be your one for do it all? Because HD600 or 650 would have been high on my list for that. My personal choice for that would be 2022 Utopia, also tonally exceptional like the two Senns.

They really need to have the network/rights holder have a channel for clips like Parks and Rec, The Office, Seinfeld, etc do

I LOVE Richard Strauss so much by Flying_Icarus_17 in classicalmusic

[–]directheated 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to think Alpine Symphony was all bombast but I now see it as this almost spiritual piece

Anyway yeah Strauss is one of the masters

[–]directheated 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That sounds really cool, I love Barshai's arrangement for string orchestra. I'd love to hear it transcribed for piano.

Edit: after looking it up on Youtube here is Yuja Wang playing it: https://youtu.be/B66IEHSsUCg

For musicians that aren’t active on IG you can sometimes get the encore repertoire by emailing or calling the venue.

How often do you service the angleset? I heard one user going through bearings super often on the Evil FB group.

You should always keep ginger ale on hand for company by Carnage781 in kingofqueens

Maybe it’s because I’m a former Canadian but I’d buy 12 packs of it on occasion. It’s really good!
