April on Hyperion



Bargiel was a friend and colleague of Brahms and the music is said to be Brahmsian.



What clunky cover design.

Also Schumann's brother-in-law, being Clara Wieck's maternal half-brother.  :)

And I haven't heard Belder. Did he record the Händel suites?

Oh yes, he did. I'm suprised you didn't know!   ;)

I seem to keep mixing up Belder and Borgstede. Anyway... :D

Would you mind to provide a link to his Händel recordings?  >:D

IMO Borgstede is better in Händel than I would expect Belder to be. Well I may be mistaken. Concerning the Borgstede set it doesn't hurt that it also includes some sympathetic Händel recordings by Loreggian.

This is getting to the point where we'll need a diagram.
I am now working on a discography of the works of Vagn Holmboe. Please visit and also contribute!

Yes, interesting at least. IMO Francesco Corti (is he a son of Alessio Corti - he mentions his farther as being an organist, but not whom) is a hit or miss. His Bach harpsicord concertos vol.1 are the most uninspired I have heard since long, whereas his L. Couperin CD was among the best I have heard.

Francesco was born in 1987 in Arezzo. Alessio was born in 1967, and seems to have been based in Milan at that point.

Since 1983 Alessio Corti is titular at the Chiesa di Santa Maria Segreta in Milan, and since 1991 he is also titular organist at the Chiesa Cristiana Protestante in the same city,
Would a Milanese church actually appoint a 16 year old as titular organist?

Re Corti, I enjoyed the CD called "Little Books"
Re Haendel, has anyone tried the Hantai?

If they are not father and son, they may be related otherwise.

Well he may have been a prodigy.

This looks interesting:



I'm in the market for a complete Mendelssohn piano set, so this might be one I consider getting, but, of course, Howard Shelley is another option who has an ongoing series on Hyperion, although it might finished now.

Also considering once it's released:

There is also Roberto Prosseda on Decca, completed and supercomplete (includes not only literally everything he wrote for piano, but also the piano 4-hand works). 10 CDs in all.

I have the Martin Jones set on Nimbus but at 6 CDs it's clearly not complete and the sound is far from ideal, though serviceable.

This Markovina set is very tempting indeed.

Great! The three volin sonatas are early works but utterly charming and quite different in character. Mendelssohn was a genius, no doubt about it. This the recording I have:

Thanks, Andrei. I may look into the Prosseda on Decca. Looks like a one-stop shop for Mendelssohn's solo piano music. I'm also considering the complete string quartets set with the Pacifica Quartet.

I see no reason why they wouldn't if the boy was a genius of organ playing.  :-\
