Me three.

[Traverso]

Me three.

Maybe my expression is too bold, it is of course just my opinion
what I like about Scott Ross recordings is his more vital adventurous way of making music.
Furthermore, I did not listen extensively to the Belder recordings, but enough for me to make the choice for Scott Ross.
I find Scott Ross's style more appealing, I have previously compared the sonatas KK491 and for me Scott Ross is clearly the most convincing.
There may be sonatas that work in favor of Belder.
There is also a recording of Skip Sempé that I really like.
I think it's a matter of temperament which for me is the decisive choice between Belder and Ross.

Dmitri Kabalevsky.

Cello Concerto, No. 1 & 2.
Colas Breugnon, Suite.

Torleif Thedeen, Cello.
NDR Radiophilharmonie Hannover, Eiji Que.

The Cello concertos are well performed. Thedeen brings just the right amount of Spielfreude to the music, in a very involving way. As to the Colas Breugnon suite, it is rather good, but it will not top my favourite recording. Sound is marvelous.

Starting in on another Top Ten cycle, Backhaus' mono, with the first four sonatas, all crammed on one disc.  The very slightly improved remastering compared to the Decca Italy reissue helps one appreciate the set's intrinsic greatness all the more.

I wonder if this box is OOP,it is not available at the moment.

I wonder if this box is OOP,it is not available at the moment.

HMV Japan shows it available for order, but it could also have been a limited run.  That's why I buy reissues like this immediately.

A repeat listen to this monster:

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that, heard as a whole, Trinity belongs with the finest works in the post-war piano literature. I'll need to find the composer's own recording for comparative purposes.

Via Spotify:



This got a 10/10 by the Hurwitzer. Turns out he doesn't have a clue about late Romantic music either... 
I was thoroughly unimpressed...

Switched to this:



Much better...

I think it's a matter of temperament which for me is the decisive choice between Belder and Ross.

Yes, I thought that. To me Ross often constitutes stressful listening - particularly his Scarlatti. Scarlatti's sonatas are not just about muscles and bravoura.

Takemitsu - Stanza I.

Sweet!

[steve ridgway]

Sweet!

Stanza I sounded a bit like Boulez to me.

[Mirror Image]

Stanza I sounded a bit like Boulez to me.

Yeah, Takemitsu's earlier style is much more gnarly than what came later of course. I also always hear a hint of Webern as well.

Disc 1.

Another listen to an enjoyable CD.
