Interesting project ....

And a totally wonderful listening experience, those pieces in that order. 78 minutes of captivation.

And the "ECM sound" is just as present on this music as it is on everything else the label does,.It is what it is and it does what it does.

Yes! Real favourites.

Something I saw last week which was new to me was this - Pollini playing Prokoviev 3 (apparently on his 25th birthday!).

I loved it. The orchestra is perhaps not totally synched up with him the whole time, but his playing is just perfect for this for my tastes (as it is e.g. for the Prokofiev sonata he recorded),

Larry, how do like Chen's Bach? I love her Hat Art recordings of Schoenberg and Barraque/Boulez. Most curious about Bach, but reluctant to take a flier considering the # of recordings I already own.

This is the only Bach from her I know. I like it a lot.  On the measured side at times (but dig her Allemande below), with a lovely sense of repose when that suits.
