Lots of PBS this fall.

I hope they include his Westminster Piano Trio recordings.

SEPTEMBER - PART I

**new Emma Kirkby alert**




Could Chandos' habit of *not* saying the traditional Mozart concerto #s be any more assholeish? That's concertos 14 and 19, for those like me who do not have superhuman Kv. # memories.



September from Alpha

SEPTEMBER - PART II





Sarge alert!



For those waiting for this collection to be boxed, it is superb and 1, 4, and 5 in particular rank among the best ever, with 1 possibly the very best (I was present for the live recording of 5):


Brian

SEPTEMBER - PART III (Naxos)



Bonus!



And two Ondine releases with no artwork yet:

- Prokofiev Concertos 2 & 5 with Mustonen and Hannu Lintu
- Christian Tetzlaff Bach Sonatas & Partitas

I never understand why, with a 'complete' disc like this, they don't put the works in numerical order. It's not like they have to place them in a different order to fit them onto two discs.

I don't often mind. It depends on whether the artist has put thought into presenting the music in an order where the transitions and contrasts are interesting/delightful, or whether the result sounds random. Have heard such things both ways. This recital of suites needn't necessarily worry about the cool feature some pianists do with, e.g., Chopin, of "building" suites by pairing works related in key.

Looks nteresting, particularly since given the line-up of soloists, I gather this will be using the original English text rather than the Czech translation used in the old Supraphon recording...

And a second high-profile recording of Op 97 is coming.  Which to get?  Both?

That strikes me as strange—such a popular, iconic work.

Maybe because what is essential is invisible to the eye?   ;) :D

Not all of them I think. It contains both of Schubert's, Beethoven's "Ghost" and a few by Haydn.

Thanks. I have an LP of a Dvorak trio they recorded but I don't know their whole discography. I'm glad the set includes both Schubert trios.

Also depends on the logic of the published numerical order, which might be very different from the order in which they were composed.
