Quote from: Der lächelnde Schatten on May 15, 2025, 08:10:35 PMIn the V-L recording, a different pianist is used:



Got it, so the "problem" would come being the violinist.
The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

Well, yes, but also that both violinist and pianist are too closely mic'd.

Baldini is the concerto soloist on a couple of recent Naxos Music of Brazil discs playing Mignone and Santos - very well indeed I thought.  So I suspect its the engineering that is responsible for any ungratifying string sounds here!

Yes, as I pointed out, both violinist/pianist are too closely mic'd. There isn't any space in the recording and, for me, this why I just can't listen to that recording of the V-L sonatas for example.

More Mignone means more marvelous music. It should be released on August or September.

Yeah, it looks like it should be on a Ligeti album cover.

Very Intersting. The Fantasia Brasileira IV was premiered as a ballet (choreographed by George Balanchine)  when Lincoln Kirstein's Ballet Caravan was touring South America in (IIRC) 1942.
