Peer pressure.  ;D

Plus it was $1.10 per CD.

Field invented the Nocturne, actually. So if anything Chopin's are Fieldesque.

George,  Right on.  Leonhardt is one of a kind.  It appears many forum members are really enamored with Herreweghe's interpretation of Bach's choral works.  Yet Herreweghe got his start with Harnoncourt and Leonhardt in the early 60's and the rest is history.

Hi Stuart - John Field (1782-1837) wrote his Nocturnes well before Chopin, and the latter composer (who heard Field in concert) was influenced by these already published compositions; so the roles are reversed here, i.e. Fieldesque rather than your quote above.   :D

Now, I've owned John O'Conor's disc of the Field Nocturnes pretty much from its release date - still highly recommended; I've also obtained Miceal O'Rourke's recordings of the Piano Sonatas (one disc) & the Piano Concertos (4 discs) - if you like piano music from an Irishman bridging the Classical-Romantic era, then checkout this composer!  Dave  :)



I have no recordings by John O'Conor but that may change.  If I am not mistaken, O'Conor was a student of Wilhelm Kempff.

Some unfamiliar (R&J excepted) non-sonata piano works by Prokofiev.

So far Raekallio has impressed me like no other in Prokofiev (okay, save for you-know-who). He meets the music's demands with an almost instinctive feel, fusing Prokofiev's characteristic grit-and-honeydew sound world into a most convincing whole. In short, it packs a wallop!

(The cover cracks me up, too ;D).




Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

And Koopman, and Suzuki, and Coin, and Kuijken! :)

...and Minkowski (with Herreweghe) and everyone else who's ever made it in the early  music world. Harnoncourt and Leonhardt are the Patrones of the early music Mafia. ;)

I went to my local Borders over the weekend and couldn't find a durn thing. The selection is so small that I wonder why they are bothering.  :-\

This is bad news for either classical music or Borders or for both and you live in NYC, the capital of consumerism  :(

In my search for a worthy modern recording of Schumann violin concerto to complement the one by Georg Kulenkampff:



(I think Zehetmair's recording is a dud, Menuhin is much too sweet, and I pretty much dislike Gideon Kremer in anything. The one left on my list is Szeryng! :))

You have an axe to grind with Kremer?   ;D

I have found Kremer to be a speed demon ...

I have a good number of recordings by Kremer, starting with Bach Violin Concertos.  That might even have been the first CD of that work I purchased.  However, I have found him to be a bit too fast for my taste over the years ...

From what I can tell, the Dowland box is just the Naxos discs of lute music/songs repackaged, but it's almost cheaper than just one of those discs on Amazon Marketplace.

That got me intrigued! ;D Does appear to contain two discs of Nigel North's series of lute works and one disc with songs:
