Quote from: Brian on Today at 02:32:03 PMI listened to a piano recording (by Dejan Lazic) of the fascinatingly bizarre miniature "La Böhmer" and it reminded me of an even more manic, eccentric Scarlatti. Does anyone have any favorite modern piano or pianoforte CPE keyboard collections? I have the recent Marc-Andre Hamelin two-disc set but cannot remember the contents immediately, and of course the Pletnev DG recital is notorious.

Just started listening to the YouTube video above of the harpsichord-piano concerto and can't stop. The dialogue and timbral variety is so engrossing!

Hi Brian - not sure this is what you're looking for?  If you want mucho discs, consider the box below, even Hurwitz did a 10/10 (attached) - Dave :)

Widor: Organ Symphonies 3 and 4

Completely majestic music. Refreshing my ears with these imposing works has been a neat idea. I wasn't keen on soft organ music till I heard these pieces. The slow movements of these symphonies are proving to be utterly beautiful.

The sudden quotation of Rite of Spring in "Expansions" is fun.
