Four performances of Beethoven 7th... three are played by real orchestras, one is played by an "electronic orchestra". Can you correctly identify the one produced without living performers? Take the test, and see.... http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-quiz-fakeorch-frameset.html |

I'm going to hold up my hand and admit I got it wrong! How embarrassing. But how impressive the fake one is! Oooh, what they can do these days with those machines...!  |

I got it wrong too. Won't give the game away, hopefully, but (in my defence  )my choice was what sounded most digitalised, and I see now it is an old vinyl era recording which obviously has been severely digitalised to get it to where it is now I didn't check which WAS the electronic version, I had trouble seeing the whole page with the four selections at once and gave up after my first successful use of the form - I need a newer/bigger monitor.

I was fooled too - the quality of the basses and cellos seemed "too good to be true" on the culprit I wrongly identified. Got it on the second go.

Blimey, I got it right! More luck than judgement I suspect. To my non-professional ear the Mickey Mouse version sounded `thin`, there was no warmth or depth to it. Now just off to spread some Camay on my sarnies..... |

I got it right, but I guessed between the two that I thought sounded "tinny". It depends on how good your PC speakers are. Mine are pretty good!
