New Releases

[Madiel]

I've suddenly remembered my quest to listen to all the different recordings that Faust, Queyras and Melnikov have done, both separately and in combinations with each other.

So I'll get around to the Schumann about 10 years after release.

According to this webpage, 2024-12-31, but I'm not sure about how reliable it could be.

Thank you. That site didn't come up when I searched.

The best Jerry, the best!

I bought Hamelin's own Etudes CD recently, what a great sense of humor.

[Scion7]

Well, the rear cover has now been posted, and some have it available to purchase now, while other sites say January ... still no way to preview sound bites (yet?).

[Steinway D]

According to Presto Classical, the release date is February 2nd.

It's a three-minute sonata by Marc-Andre Hamelin on his upcoming album. Via Hyperion's notes:

"Hamelin's injunctions to the pianist include 'unctuous and dribbling with flavor', a repeat marked 'oh yeah, once more', 'let's taste everything in this box', a further repeat labelled 'mmm, there are still a few left', and an unapologetic final 'to hell with the diet ... all gone!'."

A person after my own heart.

Sounds deliciously (pun) like Rossini in Péchés de vieillesse mood, only he'd have titled it not sonata but Prélude diabétique.

Rousset Art of Fugue

This was very nice, more austere and contemplative than I expect Rousset to usually be.

Cut Circle released a new Josquin Motets and chansons recording, which seemed promising but I did not like it at all upon first listen. Too rushed and fussy. But curious of others' thoughts.

Change it to vanilla cookies and I'd be all with him.
