What are you listening to now?

[Wakefield]

They're a male/female team however.

I didn't know, thanks!

I purchased this disk on Qobuz: CD version, but unfortunately without digital booklet.

For some reason, I assumed the first name "Matei" was feminine. Maybe induced by his playing too. 

P.S.: although - I think -  probably the real reason was the footwear on the cover...

I suspect that they are all very good/great and worth adding to your collection. 

Every one that I have, I enjoy listening to.  Here are my two favorite:

*Note: New Albion label, so purchasing new from amazon means a CDR.  I've been collecting the P.A.N.~New Albion recordings "used," via the marketplace.

Thank you HIPster!      My wish list is growing longer and longer...   
I really enjoyed the P.A.N. recording!

Glenn Gould plays Schönberg op 23. He makes it sound stuffed with tunes you can hum. The tempos are very very slow. To me it sounds less bold music than in more conventional performances.

I've been on a massive Baroque bender for the last 6 weeks or so.  Just stepped off and loaded the 5-disc player with piano music:
    Rubinstein at Carnegie Hall Vol. 2
    Perahia Plays Mozart PCs 6 and 13
    Cortot--disc 3 from the big box
    Brendel LvB sonatas from the VOX Box

     Been loving the baroque, but this is so refreshing right now...maybe I'll launch into an "all piano" binge

Anda does Chopin Preludes & Davidsbündlertänze, aux DG set. Good pianist, dead, from a cool European country. I'm sold.

Ronald Brautigam, fortepiano

Carl Maria von Weber:  Piano Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 8

BACH: Overtures Nos. 1 & 3, Violin Concerto in E, Brandenburg Concerto No. 3
Adele Anthony, violin and conductor
Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia

I was looking for some download only music (as I had money sitting in iTunes forever) and remembered that the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra has most of, if not all of its recordings as downloads. So, I thought i'd take a plunge. It's Bach, so it's hard to go wrong, but I am very much enjoying this recording, obviously taken from live performance.

Grigory Sokolov plays Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin.

You couldn't get further from the idea of Ravel as artisan, clock maker, than this performance, which is loaded with introspection and meaning.

Is Sokolov missing the point?

Listening now, this is certainly a unique interpretation, but that is not a sign of the interpreter missing the point, I think.
