And it's been quite some time since I listened to "big band baroque." Of course it's not authentic but wow, such sensational music making!  Szell rules  ;D  Listening to the Fireworks now.

This is probably the only way I can take this music.

There are moments where unscrewed hip actually might come as advantage.

Better recorded (It's produced by Alain Duchemin @ Radio France) than many -
interpretively less overwrought than many (I like my Coupeirn inward rather than outgoing) -
and of course now cheaper than most (my home copy of this consists of four separate sets which cost way more). 
I am no Couperin completist and am in no hurry to get all Verlet (almost complete), Spieth (half), or Rousset
(books II-IV) for now. 

Thanks, FL. Nor am I a Couperin completist, actually I find him a tad boring - but I think I ought to know his works better. Got the feeling, that Spieth would suit me the most, but I am not willing to offer the cost. Maybe Beaumont is an acceptable compromise.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

Very much so, yes. Just listen to his Ring  ;)

That is a brilliant recording. I have the LP, bought it when it was first released.

I have this LP too and love the Holst works. Stunning sound. For the Fireworks I look elsewhere.

Pinnock and the English Concert for me. I've not heard a more thrilling performance.

Concerto no. 26 and 27 by Casadesus/Szell/Columbia SO. I just like Casadesus and Szell more and more in this repertoire.

Elegant, stylish Chopin playing from an old master, Moritz Rosenthal. Keeps my wife happy on the Day of the Woman! ;D



That's a great set, Rubio, one of my favourites!

Rosenthal was supposedly past his prime by the time these recordings were made, hard to believe really...

great Chopin interpretation.

Damn, you have a dark side I've not noticed before, Mr. Minor...okay, that's a lie. It was obvious you were the devil incarnate the first time I read one of your posts but I enjoyed your devilish pranks heretofore. But I didn't think you could be this evil! I may have to ask Mrs. Rock (born 31 Oct) to make a vanquishing potion.
