His first, for Columbia/Sony, is considered a "classic," but I like this later interpretation too. indeed one of the classic's (Columbia Sony). Edited November 12, 2019 by Referentzhunter Quote

I already had about half of the recordings and was still worth the price of the box for me. Just enjoyed the superb Dvorak/ Janacek / Martinu - Lieder disc from that set - Rudolf Firkusny with Gabriela Benackova. next up Dvorak: Lieder - Bernada Fink & Roger Vignoles (harmonia mundi) Quote

Larry Kart Posted November 12, 2019 Report Posted November 12, 2019 My first wife and I caught a Niquet performance of works by Charpentier in Paris some 12 or 15 years ago in the chapel of Les Invalides. The way the music rose to the large room's very high domed ceiling was magical; Charpentier was a master of manipulating sounds in space. Delighted, I wondered in passing what Morton Feldman would have made of what I was hearing. Walking to the performance down a boulevard, we passed a mansion in which lots of elegantly dressed people had gathered for a party in brightly lit rooms. Later on we learned that it had been the home of the late cosmetics empress Helena Rubinstein. Quote
Marzz Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Trombone works from these 2 discs (Christian Lindberg) (BIS) Frank Martin (Sonata for trombone and piano), Paul Hindemith (Sonata for trombone and piano) and George Walker (Concerto for trombone and orchestra) are the standouts for me.
