3 and a bit pieces in, and so far I'm really rather happy.

Nice set!

Nice set!

Well the op.87 was very good, so I'd expect positive things of the rest too.

Juilliard?

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Well the op.87 was very good, so I'd expect positive things of the rest too.

It has been one of my fav recordings of Shost. Piano works.

[VonStupp]

Juilliard?

Missed an 'I'. Spell check didn't catch that one either. Will insert.

I remember that I played that (LP) over and over again when I was at university as the library had a copy of it. Greatest performance of both works IMO.

Very nice, Jeffrey. I admit to be rather taken by MTT's performance of Piston's 2nd.

Great stuff, VonStupp!

Hexaméron - Morceau de concert, S.392
Grosse Concert-Phantasie über spanische Weisen, S.253
Grosse Concert-Fantasie aus der Oper Sonnambula, S.393 (3rd version)

Just delightful and fun in evey possible way. Hexaméron is mercilessly catchy.

Is it truly a coincidence, I wonder, that I Zoomed yesterday with an old friend who also owns that box?

[VonStupp]

Great stuff, VonStupp!

What a wide range of musical personalities Shostakovich had! These PC concertos never fail to put a smile on my face.

[Karl Henning]

It has been one of my fav recordings of Shost. Piano works.

Nice!

Indeed. A truly multi-faceted composer.
