Dilettanteque Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Mstislav Rostropovich & Rudolf Serkin - Brahms: Cello Sonatas Now, don't they look happy with themselves. Given the performance i would suggest they may have a reasonable basis to be pleased. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hired goon Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Dennis Lee - Szymanowski: Etudes / Fantasy / Métopes / Masques -- yoinked from the bookfest for $1 ... a Hyperion CD of an obscure (to me) Polish composer, solo piano pieces that are somewhat like a mix of Chopin and Liszt with a some German Sturm und Drang , a bit difficult but not Godowsky-level difficult. Innaressing. --Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilettanteque Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Nigel Short, Tenebra, LSO Chamber Ensemble and ring ins - Faure Requiuem, Bach Partitas, Chorales and Ciaconna A strange concoction this one - mixing up a bunch of works I guess as a mechanism to modulate and shape the "feel" through the overall recording. Listened to it while ago, and a quite sympathetic accompaniment to a morning's desk work. Most pleasant and well recorded, and satisfying if one is comfortable with the variety and curation. Though I am not a fan of the choral treatment woven around the Ciaconna - there is enough in that solo instrument expression that needs no distraction as so much of its intensity comes from the single "voice" (but maybe i am just some inflexible traditionalist) Edited February 2, 2020 by Dilettanteque 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

att23 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Must have been the nth time DGG reissue Carlos Kleiber recordings, but I like the idea of having everything on one box (and in a single Blu-ray Disc too) as I don’t have full collection of his operas.

Any preference; 1955 cf. 1981? I haven't listened back to back for some 10 or so years I suspect. I have always struggled to choose one or other for whole lot. I always liked the greater sense of space and freedom of interpretation that the later recording seemed to suggest, and sometimes i have really responded to a more metronomic treatment that seems to characterise some pieces of the earlier work. I think i eventually landed on the "preference depends on what one looks for in a listening experience" . A little more situational. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the slow reply, had a rushed trip to Sydney, started raining just as we left, woohoo, you need some rain, we have getting some fantastic falls in BNE. For me it is the inverse, I prefer the 1981 due to the the metronomic treatment in 1955. Not that i dislike it, just prefer it's more 'relaxed' style.
