Quote from: Que on June 16, 2024, 10:42:16 PMHe is a really good pianist.

Indeed, he is! I've been following his discography with much interest over the years.

SonicMan46

Beethoven, LV - Cello Sonatas - culled down to 1 each on modern piano vs. fortepiano - plenty of excellent performances of these works and many personal preferences likely exist - reviews attached for those interested.  Dave :)

Quote from: Symphonic Addict on June 16, 2024, 08:44:31 PMRimsky-Korsakov: Symphony No. 1

A damn good and memorable first symphony. The slow movement is the star here. It features a nostalgic tune to die for.





Yes, indeed, Rimsky-Korsakov's first two symphonies are excellent!  I have never been as taken by #3 as by these two, but perhaps I need to give the Third Symphony another try!

I was listening to a good deal of Scelsi about a decade ago: it is time to revisit his works as well!
