Indeed! A great recording of a wonderful composer.

I do not often visit this box (no fault of the music), but when I do, I am always in a state of sonic bliss.

Fabulous piece.

It certainly is!

Now:



Listening to Twill By Twilight. As usual, Takemitsu paints his music beautifully.

[Que]

I gues we have a little Vivaldi thing going on today....

re: Victoria/Noone

My impressions were favourable when returning to this set.

Now:



Listening to Takemitsu's Nostalghia. Hope's playing is just so beautiful.

Disc 5.  The Liszt sonata and Paganini Etudes.  Splendid, virtuosic playing.  Dated sound.  This set really doesn't show Watts at his best from a sonic standpoint.

[Todd]

Revisiting this disc, this time from the latest Pires big box.  The playing is world-class, and the music is good enough to warrant a listen every five to ten years.

Hear, hear.

Disc 7 for me now - some instrumental accompaniment on this one, and I don't mind it.

Spending the afternoon with this

The CD lengths are annoyingly arbitrary.
The first twenty minutes of Act II are tacked onto the end of CD2, and the first twelve minutes of Act III are tacked onto CD 3....even though all of Acts II and III each could have easily fitted into one CD each.

Nevertheless still heavenly.
