Back to this, first time in three years. It’s really good! Same feeling as I had in 2019.
Yes, I like this quite a bit as well though it wouldn't quite make my top 5. Many of the qualities you've written about I hear in Pascal Amoyel which is one of my favorites, let me know if you want to hear it. In op. 37/1 he plays the middle section much more tenderly and beautifully than Moravec on Nonesuch, who sounds like he wants to get through it.
My post on Goerner from another thread:
I listened to Goerner- his playing isn't crystal clear in that he uses a decent amount of pedal to create more of a painted dreamscape. This leads to an overall rich sonority with not the most distinct tonal colors. Any rubato he uses feels unforced and quite natural. He also plays with great dynamic range, but it's restrained and only brought out when called for. Natural is the word I keep coming back to thinking of this as a whole. A highly interesting set, and an easy purchase quickly ordered from Amazon. It has that X factor where after it's finished I'm thinking about playing it again.
Based off what I've heard on this I'm lead to believe his Debussy should be worth checking out.
(removed thoughts Kun Woo Paik, I just need to listen to this more before judging it)
I will try to remember to hear his Debussy this week plus he recently recorded Iberia.
