Re: Can you tell the difference?

Within the limits of the technology (which is VERY limiting - Sergei Celibidache refused to release commercial recordings of his performances for that very reason) I am not picking up a significant difference. But I would add that if there is no noticeable difference to a live auditor, you should stick with the version that makes it easier or more enjoyable for you.

I was in a conversation (with wind players) just yesterday concerning how great violinists choose their equipment and style based on how it sound to a "spotter" in the hall. The prevailing feeling amongst them is that if it sounds good "to you" it won't sound good to the audience. Actually this is a truism for us as well. There should be more grit and overtones in our sound to carry out into the hall. And it may not sound all that great to someone seated right next to you.
