Yep. One of her many wonderful recordings.

I really enjoy Perahia's Bach recordings. His approach may be too Romanticized for some listeners. But his playing strikes me as well-balanced between form and expression: a sort of happy medium or golden mean.

Serkin's recordings of Brahms' Piano Concertos with Szell are my "personal standard" for that repertoire.

Classical-wise, I'm still enjoying an exploration of music by FRENCH composers, conductors, and orchestras. Tonight's listening:

Yesterday: Chico Hamilton - The Head Hunters (Solid State, 1969) with Steve Potts (as); Russ Andrews (ts); Ray Nance (vn); Eric Gale (g); Jan Arnet (b) No, not those Head Hunters! Stumbled across this LP recently in a local shop. I had no idea that Steve Potts was with Chico before he began his long association with Steve Lacy. ... And Ray Nance is in there too -- using an electric pick-up, which gives him a very different sound. Good stuff!
