    Great - thanks! I must check these out...I love the sound of this orchestra...in fact, have picked up a couple of those 'Ancerl Gold' releases recently too - spectacular.

    Oh interesting - how is this? I was listening to the Kletzki/Pollini Chopin concerto yesterday, and thinking how great the orchestral playing was on that...
  3. Alexander Hawkins
    Astonishing playing...

    And actually, on Murakami...I'd forgotten that the Janacek Sinfonietta is important in 1Q84!!!

    Ah - this is actually one of the few of his I haven't read yet! Now listening to the 1957 Michelangeli Royal Festival Hall recital...the Schumann in particular is incredible.

    Oh yes! Though I have to let my CD player cool down before listening to more Liszt...had Ogdon on yesterday
  11. Alexander Hawkins
    Yup! Now onto volume 7 - the Glagolitic Mass/Taras Bulba pairing..!

    Wow! The Martinu is new to me, but I'm enjoying it a great deal.

    This version of the Sinfonietta is just incredible...
  14. Alexander Hawkins
    Oh - thank you! Yes...goodness...it’s beautiful there! And what a fantastic festival. Love these early versions! Heard the great man live this evening, in fact...he played the a minor etude as his third encore!

    Yes indeed! By way of contrast, there was a live recording of Pletnev playing the piece on the radio the other day which I didn't particularly get into (with the proviso that I was driving, so not optimal listening conditions)...but this one is very special.

    This morning - the astonishing John Ogdon:

    Thanks! I'll check this out. I listened a couple of nights ago to the Marguerite Long recording of the G major with Ravel conducting, which I thought was fantastic.

    Oh I don't know this one! My go to for Brahms 2 and 4 is Carlos Kleiber

    Indeed, wonderful! I don't actually have Vol.2, but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled. Now:

    Could well have been! Back to Mozart: the Busoni cadenzas she plays for no.20 are SO great...
  25. Alexander Hawkins
    Absolutely! Pulled this out after hearing an incredible Beethoven op109 on the radio the other day...
