I actually downloaded one track to check it out myself.

With something that old, you probably aren't missing much in terms of SQ anyway.

Hope yours arrives soon!

Thanks.

I have, um, quite a few CDs in the cellophane anyway to keep me occupied.  8)

LOL, that was my first experience of 'old school' Chopin, and I thought, what on earth is he doing with with those treble chords in the main theme :D.

ETA: very scatty today. The above refers to op. 52 :-[ :P.
Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den der heimlich lauschet.

Per Tony's desire, another round of guess the pianist

Mazurka 24/4



well that's a trip down memory lane, haven't heard it in ages, maybe years (and yes the more time the better)

I'll go with Malcuzynski  ::)

Peregrine

Yes, we have no bananas

Have you considered new set of ears recently?

Brendel

No.

Piano roll?

No, but I think I hear where you're coming from.

ezodisy

lol! That far off huh? Well, I never really liked Malcuzynski's mazurkas. I'll give it another listen tonight. In fairness to myself I did not go past 30 seconds before guessing  ::)

sporkadelic

So it's not a piano roll.  An old piano, then?

I recall the one we had of just the finale of Sonata 2. That was a good one

No.

Sorry, Drasko, I was pissing about actually. Has Brendel ever recorded Chopin?

My serious answer - Afanassiev?!!!.....Cherkassky, possibly?
Yes, we have no bananas
