It was David Arthur Krehbiel (so the correct spelling). But, with Shosta no.5, and with other pieces, people think too much about politics & Stalin. Recently, people started to question artists, scientists, teachers, professors, actors, bishops, "why they could make a career in nazi Germany ?".

What I do is a tad bulky but I get the best results. I usually record directly into my computer and then store it as a WAV file. If I'm on the go I just use a laptop. This is basically uncompressed audio and takes up a lot of space, so a quick and large defragmented hard drive would be a plus. R
