Comparing Marchand recordings - Moroney is the clear winner, followed by Haugsand.

Earlier today .... :

[Peter Friedman]

Istomin, Schneider, Casals - Schubert Piano Trio No.1, D.898

Argerich, R.Capicon, Chen, G.Capucon - Schumann Piano Quartet Op.47

[mikeweil]

One of the few recordings of harpsichord music of this era on a Thuringian instrument - sounds great on it, and Charlston plays Handel's famous Blacksmith Variations better and more convincing than anybody else I have heard.

Beautiful underrated music.

JPC and others currently have a price reduction on the Divine Arts label - I heartily recommend any recording of Terence Charlston or the Avison Ensemble.

Now playing, CD 28:
Gustav Mahler – Symphony No.1 in D Major “Titan”
Johannes Brahms – Variations on a Theme by J. Haydn Op.56a
— New York Philharmonic – Bruno Walter (Masterworks Heritage—Columbia / Sony Classical)

 

I thought I only had Walter's 1961 performance of Mahler's First Symphony, but prompted by the recent discussion of Walter's 1954 performance, I realized that I had a copy of the 1954 performance in Sony's very nice Masterworks Heritage box.

Eric Le Van plays Exil/Exile: Piano music by Composers with Roots in Two Countries (Music & Arts/BR Klassik)

Fascinating album from start - waltzes by Erich Korngold over somber "November" suite of Erich Zeisl and livelier Ernst Toch pieces over Arnold Schönberg to finish with
Mario Castelnuevo-Tedesco´s fine Fandango.
Beautifully recorded, CD  features booklet with detailed information about background of those remarkable Austrian and Italian composers in troubled times.
