...though he does throw a few improvised flourishes in at appropriate places such as the slow movement of K488, which I think reflects his roots.

As many do in Mozart concertos. Have you listened to his Bach? The Goldberg Var., the French Suites, the WTC?

PS I have listened to this recording before and it is very likable: nicely played, well recorded. But I do not get much out of it. I feel the performance is too even in phrasing and temperament. Also, I have a feeling that Eugene Ferré's strings (also in another recording I heard by him) were in the early '90s not quite up to (authentic) snuff....

The Diner / Alice Munro 1931-2024

Alice Munro has died at age 92. I have read several of her short story collections and she was clearly one of the great masters of the genre.

I liked it so much that I read the novel!  Which I also recommend.
