"Why do you corrupt the original CD quality with "stereo calibration" or "special edition"?"
"Do not be a grouch, it is better not to touch the CD."
"Do not be a grouch, it is better not to touch the CD."
"I have compared some calibration and I think that worsens the sound! Everyone seems too focused and committed to the stage."

...you think, am I doing a good job?

That is the question! I have nothing against criticism, I even thank you for your contribution and opinion (I remember I did test sound to your taste), but also don't accept arrogance and rudeness.

I take this opportunity to thank the tremendous support from many of you. Of course they leave my heart and I'm not indifferent to them.

Thanks and regards to all.

Péssima notícia! O que acontece? Se a suspensão for permanente, sentirei muita falta...
Obrigado.
I'm so sad...I hope to be temporarily.
All the best for you and thank you !
Sincerely, Keyra
This is bad news, Fly! Whatever the reason is - I (and many others, I guess) will miss your blog - and your interesting comments, your "editions", your (musical) hospitality! I hope, you will be back some day.
Wishing you all the best and a big THANK YOU - for all the work you put into the blog, for providing a possibility of discussing amazing music and musicians...
Andy.
Thank you for everything, dear mr. Fly!
Mauro from Italy
I hope nothing serious has happened. A big hug !!!
Please don't give up!!!
Estimado Fly,
que triste noticia que suspenda su blog por algunos comentarios impertinentes. Le sugiero continuar con un blog privado con una lista de invitados (agradecidos) que valoran su esfuerzo y tiempo.
gracias por todo lo compatido. Por favor piénselo.
un abrazo fraterno, Kike.
Kike:
I feel sorry for visitors like you (and some others), and I apologize personally.
Yes, the blog private is one of the hypotheses but for now I prefer not to commit to anything.
I thought this was an interesting project for people. Exchange of ideas on what we hear and how we hear. It seems to have failed or at least not picked up the endorsement that I thought.
Thank you for your kindness always shown. We always have things in common. The music and...Bach :) Always.
Dear Fly
I'll always thank you for your educational point of view on your blog. I wish you the best and as you say we have always Bach in common.
My kind regards & rethink the continuity of your fine work here.
best, Kike.
Dear Fly,
thank you very much for your outstanding work.
For the future i wish you all the best and and always wonderful music around you on your way.
Lamento mucho
Algún dia se entenderá que la música es universal
Matt
Si vuelve a activar o no tu blog, será decisión tuya. Sólo quiero agradecer ahora (pues no lo hice antes), todos los buenos momentos de música que me brindaste. Vivo en una pequeña ciudad de Chile donde hay sólo dos tiendas de discos y la oferta de música clásica es poca y a precios altos, así que mucha de la música que he escuchado en el último tiempo, ha salido de aquí de tu blog.
Infinitas gracias, de nuevo
Marcelo.
For all the downloads I've made, and they are many, I thank you multiplied per 1000. Please don't give up if the only cause of it are the stupid comments made by ungrateful people.
I do like and appreciate your manipulations and seem to me as valid aesthetically as any other made in a professional studio. They are interesting and stimulating.
THANK YOU FOREVER!
Thank you for introducing me to several wonderful pianists I had not heard before.
Sad to see you go, more sad that the "illegitimi" have succeeded in their "carborundum".
Obrigado ...
I understand your position, because it must hurt to hear harsh criticism when you do a job with passion and without monetary profits. But it would be nice that you had a plan to return. Many blogs are disappearing and all are missing. This is special, among other things to be dedicated to the piano. I love the piano and so, for me, this is most needed.
Triste nouvelle.
Merci pour toute cette magnifique musique pour piano et ce travail énorme.
J'espère que vous reviendrez malgré ces stupides critiques qui ne méritent que mépris
Lysis
Fly, ripensaci! Il tuo blog, focalizzato sul piano, è unico. E gli apprezzamenti mi pare siano generali. A presto, spero. Un abbraccio
Thanks for your excellent, painstaking work. I hope you'll decide to continue, after all.
Fly, ripensaci! Il tuo blog focalizzato sul piano è unico. E gli apprezzamenti mi sembrano di gran lunga più numerosi delle critiche - che ci saranno sempre, è normale. Spero di ritrovarti ancora qui, in prima linea, molto presto. Un abbraccio
Oh no
This was a brief sanctuary in my life
Best wishes and hope to meet you again
oxbowox
Too bad. I did like it.
Thanks for what you did anyway.
Regards
When people no longer have blogs will regret. Fly, Ice (from classicallibrary) and some other people are important in these systems. It was important not to let them go. I regret that some do not realize this and have an arrogant attitude in this and other blogs. I'm sorry and I hope this blog come back quickly.
Please, please rethink your decision to give up this blog. Don´t listen to the idiots who don´t value your work on behalf of great pianists and musical masters. I and many others at least appreciate your labors of love. So please go on...
Excellent blog - thank you for so much education - Let us know if you move to a new location.
Best wishes
Eva
NO!!! This is the best blog out there for pianophiles (such as myself)! Please don't quit :(
(I hope all the support demonstrated with these comments generates re-motivation!)
Fly, you are a star and if you require this hiatus, even permanently, we who have have enjoyed your blog can only offer thanks and best wishes. You deserve the best.

Eu agradeço tudo o que você nos tem dado. O seu blog é instrutivo. Aprendi que é estúpido ter o concerto nº 20 de Mozart tocado apenas por um pianista :) Estão quantos no seu blog? Você se lembra? Você postou 12, 15 diferentes versões! Lindo. E Evgeni Koroliov? Quase ninguém conhecia. Percebe a importância do seu blog? Fique conosco, por favor.
I appreciate everything you have given us. Your blog is instructive. I learned that it is stupid to have the concert No. 20 of Mozart played only by a pianist :) How many are in your blog? Do you remember? You posted 12, 15 different versions! Beautiful. And Evgeni Koroliov? Almost nobody knew. Realizes the importance of your blog? Stay with us, please.
Que Pena.
José (Brazil)
Just one thing..........
Thank you
You have introduced us to a lot of wonderful music!
Please continue posting!
Dear Fly, I have known you online now for getting on for five years and I have always really appreciated the music and photographs of your blogs. It seems that the people who disrupt and criticize have lately been given a new name..."trolls". It seems to me thats a good description of them, nasty little folk who hide under bridges and come out into the world to spread unpleasantness!...
Please dont take any notice of them, this latest one is very arrogant I noted they wanted to know your system as well,how invasive is that...
I hope after a while you decide to continue if not this blog then another. You have many friends wanting the same...
Take Care

hello fly
please dont close the blog!
dear fly
your blog is awesome and we learned a lot from you.
wish we all can see you as soon as possible.
best regards,
yang from asia
Please don't stop. Your contributions are very much valued. I don't understand what anyone could complain about. I hope these positive comments will encourage you to keep going.
so sad, love your blog so much :(!
How sad.
Don't listen to that.
You do a very good job
Thanks
Fred
Personalmente no haría caso alguno a las críticas de cuatro imbéciles.
De cualquier forma hemos pasado ratos extraordinarios con tan excelentes músicas y no me gustaría que desapareciese de la red
Mil gracias, Julio, Madrid, espero que continúe
Una pena :(
Recupera fuerzas y espero que los comentarios adversos no te afecten demasiado.
Abrazos y gracias por todo.
You're never alone.
Cheer up, Amigo.
I'm very sorry for your decision. This was a wonderful source of musical pleasures and information.
All the best,
Sergio, Italy
Sorry to hear this. Dear Fly, I hope you are not offended by the critical comments left by some people. Only those who do nothing are not criticized. You can be sure that many people like me enjoyed your blog and the music you've decided to share with us.
Whatever your decision will be, thanks a lot for all your work.
How sad to think that some misguided creeps can spoil it for so many people. Fly, we will miss you,even if it is only temporarily.Please re think.
Many hugs
Didger
Fly, Obrigado pelo teu blog. Não deixes que comentaristas inibam a divulgação da música.
A música não se tem; usufrui-se.
Até breve
Dear Fly,
criticism - as I see it - is however a positive component of life, even (or especially) when it aches.
It can be motivated, and then its value is evident. Even when it looks completely gratuitous and out-of-scope (as it is the case for so many rants here on the web), when you have the proper serenity, you still have the option to simply let it flow.
Or, the maturity to pick up some useful bits even from those comments, which ache the most.
Wish you the serenity that your work here deserves.

좀 쉬세요. 그동안 수고 많이 하셨습니다. 피아노한가지만으로 끌고가기 힘드셨죠?

Como sabes, caro moderador, há uma expressão em português (vernáculo, é certo...), que tem a ver com certos actos fisiológicos, que se praticam em lugares recatados, e, preferencialmente, longe da vista alheia. Tem uma mais prosaica tradução na expressão "estou-me marimbando!". Então tu partilhas música do melhor, profundamente variada, e depois ainda tens de aturar certos comentários? Segue o meu conselho: Marimba-te para eles, ou então, usa mesmo o vernáculo: eles que se "lixem". Por favor não abandones o "espaço etéreo", e continua alegremente a partilhar - um sinal de nobreza de carácter. Obrigado, e um cibernético abraço!

Estimado señor:
Creo que Vd. tiene todo el derecho a llevar 'su' blog comno Vd. crea que debe hacerlo. Es encomiable la labor que está Vd. realizando. Vd. tiene todo el derecho a realizar lo que crea oportuno para presentar los CDs con la mejor calidad posible, ¡faltaría más! Si hay quien no le gusta, pues que se vaya a otro blog, o que cree el suyo con todos los problemas y gasto de tiempo que ello conlleva.
Por mi parte, sólo puedo decir lo mismo de antes. Muchas gracias por lo que está haciendo. Y a los críticos que no les gusta lo que Vd. hace, ¡que les den!
Gracias, otra vez.
Thank you, for works you did, sharing outstanding music on blog.
regards!
"When you get comments like these,..."
That is the reason?
Send them to the hell!
We will stay here, with you in your musical paradise.
Una pena perder tan interesanate aporte a la difusión de la música realizada con tanta seriedad.
¡Nooo! ¡No nos abandones...!
You have exquisite taste for your selections, with an
incredible ear for perfection. Please continue.
You are appreciated by most everyone!
Your blog is my absolute favorite!!
Thank you.
Iv just come bach,strait toM.F.P, to find the sad news!So first of all I would like to thank you for your relent less efforts,the music you shared was and is wonderful.I hope only good things come your way.Let me just ask you ,What are you going to do with all your positsve energy?the love and gratitude you recieved completely overpowers thefew nasty remarks.so please remember it! If you ever get second thoughts remember there is a devoted croud just waiting to hear from you.All the best from jerusalem
So just come back,You see how much we all love you!
Dear Fly,
One should never let rude and angry people dictate how one chooses to live their lives. I personally find your calibrations very consistent to my taste and my observations about piano sound engineering in general. I, for one, would find the world a poorer place to live in if you permanently suspended your blog.
Take heart!
My two cents is this: Your blog has been a treasure trove of discovery and insight. And criticism over quality of transfers is so offensively off point and low rent that I feel I have to apologize for the behavior of those cyber parasites who complain about the quality of a free lunch--even when it's a banquet. You deserve better. And I'm sorry my gratitude didn't arrive sooner. God bless you!
Thank you for everything.
I wish you all the best.
Don't give up. Ther's a group of people without character and arrogant who walk by the blogs. They are birds of prey. Lost souls.
... Oh
... me again
I just wanted to add that you really broadened my music knowledge.
It was really great visiting your blog on daily basis.
I will surely miss it.
La tua opera è preziosa, Fly. Non lasciarti scoraggiare. E manchi a molti, come hai potuto vedere da questi commenti... A presto!
I feel so sad that I want to cry..It is sad to think that the blog is going to be suspended due to the egotism of some people who are unable to appreciate the efforts you were doing just to please us..How could they demand anything from you as if uploading the music and editing it was not enough!!
Let me tell you that I feel dissappointed at that kid of people..I feel angry and sad
Fly,
Like everyone else, thanks for all of your efforts and you will be greatly missed. Best of luck in all of your future endeavors and hope to find you on the web again, some day soon.
best,
stuckinside
Why would humans bother about what rats think? Of course it's unpleasant to get negative criticism for so much time spent in a generous cause, but, again, why bother about vermin?
Whatever your decision, thank you so much for your dedication and generosity. Thank you for the wonderful music! God bless!
Dear Fly, I hope you reconsider your decision, because many have been following you during this time we miss you.
Wish you the best.
Lasavixa
Thank you so much for all the music you've share with us!
Meanwhile, if some people are critical of your calibrations, could you make both the original and your versions available? Then everyone could compare, and pick whichever they prefer! Everyone would be happy!
Especially all of us who love the music you've shared with us!
Thank you Fly for all that you have contributed with: all the music, your preparation of the calibrated programmes, your comments and sometimes very beautiful imagery. Goodbye./Fanny Xenakis
Dear Fly,
Why pay attention to some jerks who think they have entered a CD shop carrying their portable HI FI gadget to test the sound of the products and then leave without buying anything to visit the next shop. To be able to talk about sound quality with their jerk friends in the evening, listening to the recordings they decided to be perfect, without listening to the music itself. I am sure about that, I happen to know such people.
As you must have noticed reading our messages, there are lots of people out there in the Internet, who not only appreciate your selfless dedication but who also admire your gusto.
It is so sad to lose a source of hope and beauty these difficult days.
Please change your mind and let them go to hell. Just ignore them, the way they ignore you’re your efforts.
Many greetings from a suicidal Greece.
There is a saying in Greek that goes: “Write the names of jerks on the soles of your old shoes.”
Please do it! It helps a lot. If you don't have a pair of old shoes, I'll gladly send you mine.
We are poor already. Don’t make us feel poorer…
Hehehehe! I like it: "...from a suicidal Greece"!!! It's like Portugal! :)
Many greetings from suicidal Portugal.
Pst.... Taking into account what is happening in our countries, and due to shortage of money to buy cds, have to solve the thing in another way: to share! Continue to share! :)
See you soon ;)
Hehehe! :)))) I even gave a laugh!
The vast majority of visitors to this blog are amazing. Good people.
You deserve all my attention and sympathy.
See you soon. I promise.
Hugs and kisses of friendship.
Oi, Fly, agradeço muito todas as suas postagens, são mesmo ótimas. Que bom que voce vai continuar!! Apesar de estar em um país irmão, o Brasil, nunca ouvi falar de Bernardo Sassetti, o que é uma pena. Muita coisa tenho descoberto nesses blogs, ultimamente tão combatidos, mas em minha humilde opinião são essenciais para espalhar a cultura pelo mundo todo. Continue a levar algum alento para a Grécia suicida e para todos nós.
Now this is some good news!
Looking forward to see you again...
And now something about the quality of you calibrations:
I have been working for two decades as a moderator in the Third Programme of the Greek National Radio, choosing and presenting classical music. I don’t play any instrument myself, but I have a very sharp ear and an unerring gut for pitch, appreciated by quite a few composer friends of mine. (I am not megalomaniac, I know what I can.)
In my opinion the piano is the most difficult instrument to capture on a recording device – analogue or digital. What you did was always a considerable improvement, especially with mediocre recordings. I enjoyed this improvements on my very expensive equipment (which I bought some years ago, when I was “rich”, that is a normally paid working citizen).
So now you have a professional opinion. Keep it in mind and go on making us happy…and richer!
I do not know how many people visit your blog,but you see how much appriciation there is of your wonderful energy.all the best
YiannisK:
Until blushed :) / Thanks!
Vivelo, lipatti_ro, YiannisK, theblueamos,... and all:
I was surprised with so many comments. I never imagined so many people interested in the blog. I always thought there were a dozen faithful followers and other visitors would be occasional...
I was wrong. I feel that now the requirement and responsibility of my shares is higher ...
Modestly, I hope to meet your wishes and continue to deserve your appreciation.
Why do you pay the slightest bit of attention to the negative comments? Most of us appreciate more than we usually say all your hard work, your wonderful collection, and your impeccable taste in all things musical! Thanks for all of it.
Keep up the great job here!
Obrigrado, K.
Thanks. People like you deserve. I will continue the blog, yes. With some minor changes. One is sent directly to the trash comments arrogant and unjust. Those who are critical but constructive and polite are always welcome.
I want to thank you for your wonderful. I've enjoyed it. I was very interested in the direction you had taken your blog recently. I thought the, may I call it, "Here is how I think it should sound" approach was unique and worthwhile. I am grateful for what you've done here. And even if I knew more about the nature of the negative comments that have been so discouraging, I wouldn't presume to advise you. Except do what seems likely to bring you the most happiness.
Peace.
Thanks.
nil carborundum illegitemi
Don´t give up. Si usted abandona, los estúpidos se estarán riendo a carcajadas.
Moito obrigado
Realmente es una pena que se pierda un sitio como este (de los mejores que hay). Siempre van a existir detractores (envidiosos o mediocres)que les molesta el desarrollo de blogs de la calidad de este. Espero que vuelvas y serás recibido con los brazos abiertos. Un gran abrazo desde Argentina
¡No por favor! No haga caso de estúpidos... Su labor en este blog es fantástica. Muchos abrazos.
thank so much :*
