Schubert: Piano Sonata No. 13 in A major, D664

Overall Debargue leaves the impression of quietly stated poetry, and the music feels clearly in early romantic rather than late classical mode. And although it's relatively sotto voce in his hands, it is so very alive. A heart-breaking slow movement and expressive detail throughout to die for, it's another unforgettable recording from this special pianist.

Bach, CPE - Flute Concertos - own the three recordings below; Nicolet on an 'early' flute (from pics of original album cover but not described in the 'Duo' booklet); Rachel Brown on Baroque flute, and J-P Rampal on a modern flute.  CPE wrote 4 Flute Concertos, all arrangements of KB Concertos (see quote below).  Dave

I am, obviously, expecting the composer's craft to wax stronger over time, but it's worth commenting that this is especially apparent in this instalment of my survey.

Nice cover photo!

Totally agree Cesar - I think very highly of 'Grey Galloway'. There's another fine Chandos CD featuring the Solway Symphony.

All what I've heard from him has been consistently remarkable, including the string quartets.

Godard: Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor

Anyone with penchant for French full-blooded romanticism will find this concerto a real pleasure to listen to, and this interpretation sounds just right.

Paging @Cato

With the score!  Highly recommended work: the part for solo violin is extraordinary!

Le Destin is (sources are somewhat contradictory)  a suite from an earlier ballet on Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death.

Brahms: Double Concerto

Authoritative rendition of this masterpiece. The melodic and lyrical shine in this work rather than the virtuoso aspect.

[Symphonic Addict]

Strauss: Panathenäenzug, for piano (left hand) and orchestra (Peter Rösel, Rudolf Kempe, Staatskapelle Dresden)

Symphonic studies in the form of a passacaglia. A rather curious piece, one that I would not associate with this composer. Probably not as polished as other compositions of his, but I must admit that this colourful work was good fun.




Gubaidulina: Glorious Percussion

This inhabits a much different sound world, one dark and threatening.

Beethoven: Triple Concerto

I adore this work, every second of it. This performance has confirmed how delicious it is.

An oddly disgruntled fraternal feeling in that photo.

Well, feeling disgruntled is only natural after you've had to play Brahms (with your brother or anyone else), no?
