Ciao, Ilaria!

I prefer both of those, Karlo.  I am resisting saying simply that I dislike Henck here . . . it's starting to make a kind of sense, but the composer himself and Jordi Maso both play the music more naturally (surely no surprise in the case of the composer    ).

Interesting. I have been perhaps too content with the Javier Perianes recording (which, based on some reviews, is perhaps a midway between Henck and Mompou). I should revisit Mompou's recording, and probably try the Jenny Lin recording too.

Bach, CPE - Solo Keyboard Works w/ Schornsheim on tangent piano (new acquisition for a re-listen) & Chaplin on piano.

Just have over a half dozen discs of these solo works (and more of the concertos) - amazing HOW MUCH of this music CPE wrote - Spanyi is up to 29 volumes w/ a new release below (from the BIS website) & up to 20 volumes of the KB concertos - perhaps a box in the near future, but does one want that many?   Dave

 

Well I for one want the KB concerto box. Everything I have heard I liked. I do not want the BIS price-tag though.

Maybe Amazon.iT will make a pricing error... ?

You managed to pick the one greeting in our language I detest (or have as strongly negative view of it as one can have of a word used to greet), Ilaria.  Actually it's from Swedish of course, and I say we ought to make them take it back.

Eh? Never heard of it. It sounds French?  It shows up as Finnish (but not in Swedish) in Google translate!

Happened before ...

Hmm, it seems that it might originate from Low German or Dutch (Moin, which seems to be a general greeting as well, or in "Moi(e)n Tag", meaning good day; also in Dutch: Mooien dag). Anyway, despite of this deliciously mysterious tangle of etymology, the greeting in is an abomination in the Finnish language.   0:)

Not a familiar Dutch name. Ask Ilaria..

A greeting, not a name. The capital letters might be confusing.

I realize I'm putting myself in danger of a horrible, addictive disease, but, what the hell, I'm going to listen to some late-Romantic music anyway

Hey Sargeface,
If I've never heard Rott's symphony and want to give it a first try, which recording should I pick?

Thank you for the explanation. I'm sorry, with moi and hei, I finish all my Finnish language; I thought both of them could be used to greet a person, with no difference.

Hey Sargeface,

Weigle (my desert island pick)



or Järvi




If you want to hear Rott's Triangle Concerto, try Segerstam

Of course they can both be used, Ilaria, and nobody in their right mind would seriously object to the choice of greeting.
I do, however, think you should at the very least also know the word sauna.

Zarlino is off my well-trodden path, but glad I meandered as this is about as close to heaven as I'm likely to get on this plane.  Production values, sound and packaging (fascinatingly researched) are top-drawer.
