Some legendary performances are just that: legendary (see: the Furtwangler/Flagstad Immolation Scene with the Philharmonia, $6.50 for a glimpse of the gods!) but others may very well be "legendary" because they were the first competent and insightful performances available. As for modern performances, I've enjoyed Ogawa's BIS set for years, as well as Paul Jacobs' magical (and magically-recorded) recital on Nonesuch, but I haven't yet heard the Bavouzet/Chandos which has received raves all over the globe. But back to Gieseking: what say you? (And please, let's not get into mono vs stereo vs multi-channel, thanks.) |
