[dba-Tech] AI music style converter

[Jim Lawrence]

Those are beautiful pieces... You have to have the equipment to do justice to recordings...and I guess you do.

My personal fall back positions are to guitarists; Andres Segovia, Julian Bream and new arrivals, relatively, Xuefei Yang and Milos Karadaglic. I also like a variety of nonclassical guitarists like Jesse Cook and Joe Bonamassa...and more.

I'm the sort of person that, having found some artist I love, tend to
devour everything. Two cases in point are Beethoven (Cello Sonata Op. 69
No.3) and Stravinsky (Rite of Spring). I have about a dozen recordings of
each, and very pronounced opinions about which artists did them best. The
cello sonata is dead-simple: nobody comes even close to Jackie duPré, and
more precisely the recording with Stephen Bishop, not the one with Danny
Barenboim. As for the Rite, only Igor understands this piece. The recording
with the Columbia Symphony, conducted by Igor, blows all other versions
away.
