Beautifully handled. One can only imagine the tantrum Keith Jarrett would have thrown, given the same situation.

anyone got any uk columbia stereos?  your nicest lexington ave will go cheaper if you listed it on ebay!!

I have had a few over the years, sold some when I should have hung on them a bit longer. The blue and silver label is the sexiest label in vinyl, IMO

Haydn - Op.54/1

Beethoven - Op.16

[soulpope]

Earlier today .... :

[mikeweil]

At last, a comprehensive survey of his harpsichord pieces, on adequately sounding German model harpsichords. Astronio's playing is up tp the often high technical demands of the pieces, inspired and flexible, with the necessary masculine touch this music needs.  

The composer's unique position and conception between his father's music and galant inluences comes across more clearly than on any previous recording.
