[QUOTE="Davidvdw, post: 736361, member: 17663"] This disc sent me down the rabbit hole in my solo violin collection and made me want to share this. http://www.linnrecords.com/recording-ysaye-op27.aspx If you can handle the sound of a single violin these 6 sonatas can take a person on quite a journey of emotion and awe. It's interesting what's happened to the word "awesome" in recent years. Awe used to refer to the experience of being humbled, made aware of one's own fragility in the face of something larger than oneself or mighty. The emphasis was not on the qualities possessed by the the awesome thing but on the experience of possibility and vulnerability that they inspired. Awe was a spiritual experience, necessary for the well being of the self, a reminder of one's boundaries, an invitation to humility. This meaning has slipped somewhat - it's gone via the shock and awe of technologised warfare to T shirts for toddlers proclaiming how they can't help but be awesome. We now narcissitically claim awesomeness; we want to be the ones inspiring the awe and insodoing we forfeit an important experience. ..... NICE! </rant> I mean the older sense of the work with regard to the Ysaye above. 192/24 exemplary Linn sound. [/QUOTE]
