Probably the most "gorgeous" -sounding Lp I own: Brahms and Debussy on Wilson Audio

"Sonatas for Violin and Piano" by Brahms and Debussy, with an encore: Bartok's ultra-charming Romanian Dances.

The sound of the instruments--violin and piano--is remarkably full-bodied and warm.

The piano remains crystal clear throughout, whether we're talking the shimmering accompaniment in the first mov't of the Debussy sonata, or the Brahms sonata, which contains a lot of "beefy" thick chords south of middle C.

The violin sound is just as easy to listen too. Very intimately projected, but never strident.

As a bonus, the relatively unknown artists--Julie Steinberg, violin and David Abel, piano--find more in the music IMHO than the generally recommended performers: Chung/Lupu in the Debussy and Suk/Katchen for the Brahms.

If you're not a big fan of Chamber music, I still think you wont be disappointed. The autumnal Debussy is richly colored and the Brahms Sonata is one of his most lyrically-generous pieces.

That'd be great news if they're re-releasing the Lp. I'll buy a back-up. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 18:41:31 07/30/14 (0)
