Quote from: Valentino on April 22, 2024, 10:32:06 AMI'm listening to Britten's Violin Concerto, the new recording with Isabelle Faust, Bavarian Radio SO and Jakub Hrusa. It is indeed rather good.Nice! I've been listening to her Bartók lately...haven't heard her Britten.
Quote from: JBS on Today at 01:25:59 PMThe "Artist's Choice" series they did for Brendel is mostly live recordings with the BBC, ORF, and others that weren't commercially released except for that series. Is the Ashkenazy version just re-issues of Decca recordings?
Quote from: Brian on Today at 11:50:03 AMI don't have a lot of experience with the sonata, just the recordings that have happened to enter my collection and that sound sufficiently musical (including Fiorentino and Sudbin). But I wanted to reply to validate your comments about Decca's recordings of Ashkenazy. The "Artist's Choice" purple box set of his favorite work for the label is plagued with poor sound from the beginning of the digital era all the way up through the mid or late 1990s. The 1994ish recording of Prokofiev "Romeo and Juliet" is so poor that I've sought out replacements from other pianists.
