[#2750] Szigeti    


Recently VANGUARD is re-issuing many of Szigeti's controversial late recordings in mid-price.

Thanks to whlee, I listened to this set. At first, the old Szigeti's tone really bothered me (like my impression many years ago), but then as the music moves (or struggles) along, I become more and more enthralled.

It's difficult to describe my feeling. The playing is definitely not as polished as Grumiaux or Szeryng on their sets, but somehow Szigeti keeps your interest more than usual and each movement takes on different characters, something the relatively homogeneous Grumiaux and Szeryng sometimes fail to do.

The playing of Horzowski on the piano is magnificent, fluent and stylish (as always). Two of the sonatas have George Szell as pianist. Szell is excellent but he does not have the humanity of Horzowski.

Challenging but rewarding listening

Jol,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
doctorjohn, 我唔識閣下, 但cclai是我朋友, 見你公開指名道姓緋謗, 抹黑他人, 感覺驚訝, 亦為你覺得羞楚C

現在cclai不在香港, 亦不知你對他公開惡意緋謗, 或會向閣下追究法律責任。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a rare appearance! Please keep on to enlighten us the knowledge of music !

Should Mr cclai870 intend to sue DJ, I can give my humble opinion (not advice indeed!)

In order to hold DJ liable for his defamation (誹謗), a plaintiff should satisfy the following factors and principles to claim DJ the tortuous damages:
1)the statement itself must be defamatory and bring the plaintiff into hatred, contempt or ridicule
2)Reference to the plaintiff: a sufficient indication that the plaintiff is the subject of the comment, an innuendo in statement must be proved and tried by the judge.
3)Publication: defamation only exists if a publication is made to at least one person other than the Plaintiff or the defendant’s spouse.

Yet the lever is never prejudiced on one side, DJ can have the following reasons of defence if he will be actually sued

1)Justification or truth:
An absolute defence that statement is substantially true though DJ has the onus of proving the truth of his statement
2)Fair Comment:
The statement is a fair comment upon a public interest, the test is whether DJ was “an honest man expressing the genuine opinion based upon true facts existing at the time the comment was made”
3)Absolute Privilege (Legco member, statement given by witness…)
4)Qualified Privilege:
Statement made for the protection of one’s private interest or for the protection of the public interest, or the statement maker and recipient have a common interest in the matter.

Should you need further professional advice, please go to seek a qualified solicitor to take a look whether having a case or not!

Think twice before saying that “或會向閣下追究法律責任”, otherwise it’s just a mere bluffing!

Regards
George

I am currently getting more interested in conductors in general. I only know a few and hope to know more. Can friends here educate me more on this.

If I break my question into smaller area as below, can friends here recommend some names to me to look into?

Mozart -
Beethoven -
Tchaikovsky -
Mahler -
Debussy -

Thanks.

My son is going to join the piano competition.
Instead of listening to his teacher's interpretation, I would like to buy some CDs to show him what the piece should be.

Title: Cuckoo
Composer: E. Horak

Anyone can help?

BenYC,

You have open a `can of worms', from now on you might have to spend a huge fortune on music softwares and sleepless days and night on classical music listening.

And I am sure you next question will be pianist on Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, violinist on Bach, tchaikovsky so on.

I think it is very difficult to give you a few names only, instead please look at the following web site, it will outline the different version of different by different composers, their review rating by various magazines, some hall of frame disc, for mow on you will be very busy.

http://www.classicaldigest.com/

Let me give you a few name to start with:

Mozart- Bohm, Sandor Vegh, Marriner, Walter.
Beethoven- Karajan. Blomstedt, Wand, Klemperer, Furtwangler, Toscanini, Walter, Jochum, Zinman, Harnoncourt
Tchaikovsky- Marvinsky, Muti, Jansons, Karajan, Previn, Markevitch
Mahler- Walter, Barbirolli, Bernstein, Bertini, Karajan, Kubelik, Haitink
Debussy- Reiner, Munch, Haitink, Martinon

Dr. John,
Can you name a few the best CD relating to "The Swan of Tuonela"(圖內拉河上的天鵝 or黃泉的天鵝).

I found that this is a big trial for hifi system esp. those sessions with low and deep background accompanied by violin solo.

Chankaiming,

Thanks for your recommendation. You have indeed named a lots of names I have no clue at all. I will look into them the next time I visit cd store.

As a start, (the start you fist listed are too difficult for a beginners like me), can you recommend a few good conductors that is top on your list and perhaps their best 1-2 cds?

Thanks again for the pointers.

Cheers.

Though someone might suggest it takes time to learn and enjoy music and the process is the most important one.

I would however say:
No time allowance for a working man ah. So, pls. just give me instant noodle (as I used to be). Thx.

George,


你提供的正反意見會留給cclai看, 決定權在他。

我常看你們講音樂但我不懂得寫, 在你們地方說了與音樂冇關話題真是對不起, 但若你的朋友不在港而給人辱罵, 你可能也有我這個反應, 請原諒我多言並污濁了這高雅古典音樂研討地方。

>>>> Think twice before saying that “或會向閣下追究法律責任”, otherwise it’s just a mere bluffing! >>>>

你看得正確, 我非當事人, 說什麼也沒用, 要專業人事話有 case 才可定論。


我亦看到閣下另文討論這事件>>>>

I however do agree with DJ saying in his post dated 07-12-08 22.52 that the provocative “stray dog” remark does not aim at you personally at all, instead a long-term rival who always “go after” (DJ, is this the reason you use this provocative adjective?) his comment due to their serious disagreement and quarrel before in other threads. >>>>

我覺得...., instead a long-term rival who always go after each other's comments due to their serious disagreement and quarrel before in other threads....較恰當; 而這是事實, 否則對我朋友不公平。

Best regards,
Joe

CKM,

Thanks for the wonder thread. There are lots of recommendation on what to get indeed.

I have a feeling that I will go broke very soon.

Probably I will also try to look into some "super value" box set as a start. Not sure what music I like but I am willing to try more.

Thanks again.

^^

Hope that we can achieve a consensus on this issue that both of us are not in position whehter it's worthy to launch a lawsuit just for disagreement about music and Hi-Fi!

cclai must be so glad having a friend like you, if I were you, I will speak more nasty thing! :D

You are damn right! both of them like to go after each other! I aplogize my unilateral comment and apply yours.

Anyway please seek cclai to cool down! I will do my best to seek DJ cool down. I like peace and rationale dialogue instead of meaningless fight!

Thanks for your correction and reminder!

Regards
George

Doctorjohn, George, jol, cclai, NAR,

I understand the discussion on music may sometime cause controversy, but please stay calm when post your opinion.

To my knowledge all of you are respectable person both on net and in real life, but may I request all respectable gentlemen here to be generous to me and to this thread and stop the quarrel.

There is also no point to bring this issue on court and it would be a huge joke to have both parties' photo on headline, which is inevitable if someone really launch a legal action.

To protect the interest of both parties and to avoid the above discussion to deteriorate into a legal action, may I request webmaster to delete following post:

I understand the importance of freedom of speech, and I understand there will certain be complaint directed to me immediately on my incapacity or inadequacy , if you want want to scold me, please use PM function ( I will check PM frequently and listen to your opinion as soon as possible).

In the end, if anyone feel bad for my action, please go to Yumcha meeting this Sunday, I will express my sincere apology to you in person.

Needless to worry!

Spending money to launch lawsuit for few words and minor quarrel is unsensible and foolish, only the lawyer is the winner. My post did not motivate parties to consider proceeding, instead I urge people to think the merit and demerit of suing other for defamation, simply time-wasting, money-wasting and lose-lose for both sides!

I can say that the parties will stay calm as before, even they feel unsatisfactory and uncomfortable!

Agreed with you we need to stay cool when we post!

George

don't do that because cclai knows nothing about what has happened, not fair for him. Downloaded records everywhere even the posts are deleted.
