Quote from: Mandryka on Today at 06:39:30 AMI saw Steven Osborne for the first time in the Edinburgh Festival around 1990. He emerged with his Messiaen I'd say.
Quote from: Hobby on Today at 05:37:12 AMI became a member GMG just over three years ago. The combination of the GMG and first accessing Qobuz as a streaming service helped keep me engaged and sane during enforced lockdowns, exacerbated by a hernia that could not get treated for months due to COVID restrictions. I have greatly enjoyed reading the wisdom and learnt a great deal, though some of the petty spats are irritating.
I thought it would be fun and illuminating to start a thread on this topic. Pianists who emerged into the recording domain in the first decade of the 21st century have had about 15 to 25 years to build up a recorded repertoire. As a result I expect a significant range of composers, preferably including both core repertoire and some less well known composers. Through GMG I have had a chance to discover several wonderful pianists who fit the bill - examples being Kosuge, Lucchesini, Schuch and Chamayou. As always members will welcome some flexibility at the margins - selected favourites might have an early recording just before 2000. Equally my intention is to include and welcome diversity across solo piano, chamber music and concertos.
Quote from: Florestan on Today at 04:28:16 AM@Mandryka probably means the barely disguised scene of lesbian sex between Vinteuil's daughter and another woman, which takes place in the presence of a portrait of Vinteuil. It's in Swann. (See, I do remember a bit... )
Quote from: ritter on Today at 05:39:05 AMIntriguing (or simply weird?)Why not both, or a bit tempestuoso? I do recognise Ono however....
Quote from: Florestan on Today at 05:10:50 AMSure. It's just that Chopin himself disliked the invention of programs for his music, hence my amusement.
