Today I've played a wide range of music. Each time I've played a disc or a track, I've been drawn into the music and been reminded why it is in my collection. I've marvelled at the wonderfully rhythmic playing of Oscar Peterson, and the interplay between the members of his trio. I've been excited to the point of playing air-guitar when listening to 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac. I've wondered at the virtuosity and dynamic palette of Arcadi Volodos' piano playing. I've been completely immersed in the folk stories of Seth Lakeman and Jim Moray. I've been blown away all over again by the tremendous tonal and dynamic range of the orchestra in a disc of Mendelssohn's under-rated orchestral works.
This is, for me, the whole point of hi-fi - the whole reason why I've searched for so long. It doesn't matter what it looks like, how much (or little) it cost, or whether it is new or old. All that matters is that it makes sense of my music collection whilst re-opening the voyage of constant discovery and re-discovery it represents.
This has been a very good day in the life of matthewpiano!
