Thanks for this post too – I have some of the AIX Romanian DVD-Audios, but unfortunately, not any of the ones on your list. My favorite of the ones I have is the Romanian Folk Music disc with the Adrian Petrescu Band – lots of insane fun and energy!Regarding the Anita Chang disc of the Chopin Ballades, I agree that it’s recorded very well indeed. However, I could not get past the performances which sounded a bit (sorry!) amateurish to me – by which I mean lacking basic elements of control and technique in voicing chords or creating seamless legato lines. This type of control is a sine qua non in this music. (I may as well ‘fess up here and admit to being Jon Nakamatsu’s accompanist and sometime duo partner – that influences my outlook on piano performances a little.)
I haven’t heard the new Roberto Prosseda Chopin recital yet, but I agree with you that it’s good to see AIX issuing new classical DVD-Audios! I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Follow Ups:
About the Chang recital -- I agree entirely with what you say! But note that I did just stress the sound quality (not the performance)!Now as you are a pianist yourself, I might also order the Messiaen "Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jesus", since you recommend it so highly.
The two AIX classical recordings I have and love are the Firebird Suite and Brandenberg Concertos 3 + 5, both by the George Enescu Philharmonic (Romania). I'm not a classical expert but I'm crazy about the performances and of course the compositions are magnificent. These were early efforts by AIX but the sonics are stunning, and since these disks don't have all the bells and whistles of the later releases, the price is less than most of their disks.Once again, thanks, Chris. I'll use your suggestions when deciding on future purchases.
