[Wakefield]

So far I don't have any musical reason to do it, but I just wanted to post this cover here:

I completely understand your sentiments, Gordo. I think it must be a counter-move to Karl's Hamelin....

[Karl Henning]

I always smile at the irony of that name for a musician, as глухой is Russian for deaf.

That's 'Daria'? Or 'Gloukhova'?

[Karl Henning]

Gloukhova . . . glukhoi

[Karl Henning]

Otherwise, Darius Milhaud would have been deaf, too 

[Karl Henning]

Daria of the Deaf is something of the resonance of her name.

[Gurn Blanston]

Gloukhova . . . glukhoi

Ah! Yes, well that IS ironic.

"The Deaf Piano Girl with the the "I'M Haydn's Bitch" Tattoos"

It could be a new Swedish Classic....

0:)

[Karl Henning]

If I were to get a tattoo (probably never happen, but...) it would be a Haydn tat.

I want "THE HEN" on my left arm, and "THE PHILOSOPHER" on the right.

Ekaterina Derzhavina looks like a "good girl", but her Haydn is exceptionally well played:

Full of flexibility, but without arbitrariness.

Weird Russian names? Another excuse to post a QI video.

I've always admired those traits in a lady. Too bad I don't need another modern piano cycle.

Super, as always. Thanks, Nav...

Yes, I know about "that train"... but $9 to get the complete set of keyboard sonatas would be a extremely well spent money. She is one of those keyboardists that understands the Classical style from inside. Naturally, it's just a friendly suggestion.

Well, the masses appear to like it, and that's what counts. I don't buy Haydn downloads, but I'll tuck away the link in my wish list and maybe one day it will join my favorites.

I'm a bit flexible on these matters: for instance, I almost never buy Haydn music performed on modern piano; but there are some exceptions: Brendel, McCabe, Schiff and now Derzhavina, a delicate and sensible performer.

I almost never buy digital downloads (I even think I purchased one for the first time six month ago), but this time I thought it was a fine way to test Derzhavina's set. And it was; actually, last night I ordered the physical set from Amazon.es.

Well, I have Brendel and McCabe already, this may be a nice addition.

I judge whether the download is acceptable by the composer. Haydn and Mozart, well, physical media only there, I'm afraid.

Thank you, George.

The name finally clicked in my head:  Derzhavina has a well done recording of BWV 988 available on Arte Nova.
