This is one of the funnest pieces to play, I hope you like my interpretation of it. 😊

The Diner / Re: The Key of Imagination

Like "The Self-improvement of Salvador Ross," "Black Leather Jackets," if not among the great episodes, is better than I seemed to remember it.

I find myself mysteriously dissatisfied with "No. 12 Looks Just Like You." Probably a feeling that the theme has been done so much more satisfactorily in other hands.

Quote from: JBS on March 27, 2024, 06:56:04 PMI don't remember precisely; but the introductory section is essentially the piano playing with comments and interjections by the violin and 'cello (mostly the violin).




@Brian

Replaying that opening:
All three instruments participate in the first chord, with the strings holding their notes as the piano plays melody.
The piano is not quite as dominant in that first section as I remembered it.

Quote from: T. D. on March 27, 2024, 07:44:23 PMThe Warner Sawallisch box, going by the title, has no operas, which is a pity because his excellent Capriccio (originally on Decca) appears to fall under the Warner umbrella. The Philips/DG has operas, which is nice.

Also missing is his Frau ohne Schatten, which was on EMI.
