Subj: [kl] Sean Osborn's Eb Sonata --- MP3 vs CD
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 16:02:54 -0400

I enjoy Sean's Eb Sonata (as well as his other compositions on the
disc). Unlike many of the Eb pieces to which I've listened recently,
Sean doesn't overemphasize the instrument's higher registers, and
thereby he doesn't abuse the listener. Many (most?) of the other Eb
solos and duets to which I listened were the equivalent of torture
sessions. (Perhaps I listened to the wrong ones - YMMV.)

This is the first time that I've listened to a disc that is compatible
with both MP3 and CD. Does the disc have separate tracks for MP3 and
CD? Or is the disc a close relative of both formats, such that either
device can play it, but each device must make compromises when
reproducing what's on the disc?

Thank you for the music, Sean.
