What is the best Digital voice recorder?
This depends on your intended use. The professional lines of Philips (i.e. DPM 9600) and Olympus (DS-5000) are excellent for traditional digital voice dictation where the voice will be transcribed by a human or Dragon (speech recognition). These recorders have slide switches to emulate their analgoue predecessors, which is very attractive for long time dictation users.The Philips software can accomplish more than the Olympus software, although the Olympus software is simpler. Philips solutions are excellent for larger office installations that require monitoring of activity and intense workflow management.The Olympus recorder, however, has a nice dynamic range control for automatically reducing the effects of background noise (with the Philips, this adjustment must be made manually on the recorder's menu).If you are looking for a stereo recorder, Olympus also has a number of pro grade stereo recorders to fill this need.In the end, you DO get what you pay for. Some of our new clients have bought consumer grade recorders and then become quite dissatisfied when they do not perform to their expectations. If you wish professional dictation, you'll spend about $400 to $500 per unit (this includes software).Cheers.

What are some of the best Chopin recordings?
When it comes to Nocturnes, I'd often prefer Arthur Rubinstein. Though to me he's not exactly smooth, in comparison to, say, Zimerman, Rubinstein indeed has his own color and touch to the Nocturnes. Janusz Olejniczak has recorded Op. 48 No.1 for the movie Pianist and I think the recording is on par with those of the legends. Vladimir Ashkenazy is another name worth checking out for Nocturnes. I personally like Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor (no opus number) and No. 20 Op.posthumous.Dang Thai Son is an artist not to be overlooked. He's known to play on the more "conventional" side, compared to his competitor Pollini in Chopin 1980 . His take on the composer is, however, nothing short of excellency. Dang Thai Son is incredibly smooth with Mazurka; having grown up in wartime, Dang felt great sympathy towards the sentiment in the Mazurkas - how they portrait the patriotic "Polish" side of Chopin, the "revolutionary" spirit, as opposed to the poet Chopin of Paris. He didn't record much, unfortunately. You can check out his performance of Chopin (and also Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky) on YoutubeThe Concertos: always Krystian Zimerman for me, but only the 1999 recording where he conducted the orchestra himself. The sound is so much richer than the earlier one he recorded with Giulini. Zimerman completely convinced me with his caliber of the concertos - Grieg's No. 1 and Brahms' No.1 Waltz: Vladimir Ashkenazy and Evgeny KissinEtude: no one has really impressed me in this realm. Some are too slow, some too abrupt, some too technical and dry.Fantaisie Op 66: there's this gentleman from Israel named Tzvi Erez on Youtube that I specially like. I've tried countless interpretations of this piece by all the biggest names and was not convinced. The difference is in the edition of the music sheet. Mr. Erez actually played on the original Henle Verlag or the "urtext" edition of the piece while most pianists, if not all, played on the version modified by Chopin's friend Montana and published posthumously. In this video he explains what the difference is and how it impacts the soundVladimir Horowitz's approach is too strange for me. Apparently people of his time were crazy about him and his repertoire was rich with Chopin but I find it difficult understand his Chopin with all the weird phrasing, and confusing tempo patterns.
