Geelong eventually pulled away strongly in the horrendous weather last weekend at Brisbane. Top of the table is of course a great start but it'll be a clearer picture in a month's time once we've met other teams in form : Carlton, the  Dees, GWS, Suns and Swans.

A tough month ahead.

Caught up with pies v bombers Anzac day game. A great hard fought draw, only one behind for each team in the last 12 minutes!!

Easily Dina Ugorskaja.

Lucchesini had been making recordings in the 80s and 90s.

Of course would also be expected to hear reasons for the choice of favourites and possibly suggestions for recording you would most like them to add to their repertoire.
All views will be subjective (except possibly Todd?) and based on making a connection with the pianist. I assume that having heard them live might help inform subjective judgements.

The other symphonies will follow.
Intriguing (or simply weird?) cover illustration!

I became a member GMG just over three years ago. The combination of the GMG and first accessing Qobuz as a streaming service helped keep me engaged and sane during enforced lockdowns, exacerbated by a hernia that could not get treated for months due to COVID restrictions. I have greatly enjoyed reading the wisdom and learnt a great deal, though some of the petty spats are irritating.

I thought it would be fun and illuminating to start a thread on this topic. Pianists who emerged into the recording domain in the first decade of the 21st century have had about 15 to 25 years to build up a recorded repertoire. As a result I expect a significant range of composers, preferably including both core repertoire and some less well known composers. Through GMG I have had a chance to discover several wonderful pianists who fit the bill - examples being Kosuge, Lucchesini, Schuch and Chamayou. As always members will welcome some flexibility at the margins - selected favourites might have an early recording just before 2000. Equally my intention is to include and welcome diversity across solo piano, chamber music and concertos.

Joke?

Quote from: AnotherSpin on Today at 05:07:41 AMJust a hint that Ukraine today is again defending Europe, and not only Europe, from the Mongol-Tatar horde, just as Kievan Rus did many centuries ago.

That's a widely off topic joke.
