In Reply to: Love symphonic music, but hate violins ... posted by Scott Redman on April 23, 2004 at 21:06:10:
I guess the violin is a scraping of resin bow across a string and this can produce a sound which can be grating on a poor quality instrument. However on a good violin, professionally played, the sound can be sweet.One of my pet hates of digital used to be the appalling sound of violins on CDs. This had me a digital Luddite for 2 decades and I gave up collecting. However I have discovered that, with good gear, that CD sound (including volins) does not have to be harsh, grating etc.
So I wonder if your dislike is due to bad jitter in your playing equipment. Jitter is insideous and can destroy the beauty of the music very effectively. In my experience very few players handle the digital pits well but the cure is quite simple - have your player modified.
But if you dislike the violin intensely then just ignore this post. Pity, because there is just so much beautiful music involving violins around!
