New Releases

[Florestan]

None- the- less you may recall incorrectly. This is a period instrument set.

So is the Complete Keyboard Music I refer to. It was released in several volumes (9) by Harmonia Mundi and Bezuidenhout plays a fortepiano.

Here, for instance, is the final volume:

My sentiments exactly on Van Oort, Brautigam and Lubimov.
Unfortunately Badura-Skoda is still waiting for reissue, and I haven't heard Bezuidenhout (yet).

Q

I have a Badura-Skoda set which is played on the piano. Did he record them on the fortepiano as well?

He recorded from 1984 to 1990 for Astree Naive on a 1790 Johann Schantz.

Thanks.

I can't answer that question except to say I have a Badura-Skoda LP set of the sonatas on a modern piano. It has a bonus disc of B-S playing  three of the sonatas on Mozart's own piano.

I am obviously new here. But I keep many Mozart Keyboard Sets and discarded many for different reasons. My three favorite fortepiano sets are Badura-Skoda, Bezuidenhout and van Oort. I never felt any need to return to anything from Brautigam or Lubimov.

Q

I agree on Paul Badura-Skoda's Astree fortepiano cycle, I'd be perfectly content with keeping just that one and Lili Kraus' cycle. The music isn't compelling enough to warrant the too many cycles that I've accumulated over the years.

2021 is a Josquin anniversary year so these will probably be the first of many.

I just wondered about your interest in a fortepiano set.

Couldn't be said much better. Badura-Skoda does it all for me. Still I have kept cycles by van Oort and Pires, but culled about eight others.

Hah!

Well, I have a few.

Pires' Denon cycle is very good. I'd be pretty content with either that or Kraus for one on modern piano. I chose Kraus since she sounds like she brings some of Schnabel's brio.

[Florestan]

Pires' Denon cycle is very good.

One of the very best, actually.

And one can't have too many Mozart Piano Sonatas cycles.

I still dream with a Zimerman's opp. 109-110-111 recording, as he promised when he released the Schubert CD...

He didn't promise anything.

[prémont]

Pires' Denon cycle is very good. I'd be pretty content with either that ...

This is the one I kept, and I agree completely,

And concerning period cycles Badura-Skoda would be enough for me, but owning the van Oort cycle, I can't bring myself to cull it.
