Too light for my personal taste in spite of her dexterity. I would like more shadow and decadent sensuality. But if you like non-fat, non-sugar ice cream, this maybe it in music.

The discussion made me curious and I caught myself ready to order a copy (Gugnin) when I have a recording of the piece as-yet unlisted to.



Listened to the first six. Interesting, but not drawing me in in a huge way yet. Just noticing that No 6 in b-minor is a hoot. :)

I kept thinking it would be nice to hear him do Schumann, it's as if he brings out the contrasting Florestan and Eusebius in these preludes.

Why can't all piano recordings sound as good as this?!

Back to this this morning having been reminded about Lifitz by @Todd on another forum. I feel exactly the same as I did eighteen months ago -- it is an outstanding release.

Sounds convincing. Which ones would you else recommend to a newcomer (me)?
