I think Hungerford's approach is somewhat reminiscent of Gilels'. Hungerford is perhaps a shades less "Olympian" than Gilels -- but they have a sort of TOUGHNESS and "no nonsense" command in common. Or at least that's how I think about them. EDIT: I think Hungerford is underrated, simply because he recorded for Vanguard and never had much of a career as a concert artist. But Hungerford has been recognized by some connoisseurs, which I assume played a part in Piano Classics reissuing his LvB piano sonatas. Edited June 30, 2019 by HutchFan Quote

erwbol Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Terry Lynn Hudson playing Claude Debussy's Préludes Books I & II on MSR Classics. http://www.msrcd.com/catalog/cd/MS1620 Magnificently played and recorded. Much better than one of those cold Osborne Hyperion Debussy discs (not préludes) I bought at a discount and suffered through for some time. Both the playing and recording are better here IMO. One track from this 2CD available on soundcloud: Quote
