Just received the JSACD's
The Bach 48 is certainly very well recorded. Book one was recorded in 1972 and the recording is very clean and clear. Captures every nuance from the harpsichord so you really enjoy the flow of Leonhardt's playing.
Book two was recorded in 1967 and sounds a bit more distant and resonant due to a more reverberant environment and further miking. A very nice alternative recording style.
For the Prokofiev Sonata's, Jablonski's playing is polished, subtle and controlled to the max. He has a very clear and original idea of the sonatas and his interpretations are 100% convincing, transparent, compelling and clear. Very intelligent and business-like, no mucking about, no flowery stuff, no bombast. Just pure dramatic momentum in which the flow of ideas drives inexorably forward. Exton's recording captures all the subtle gradations of Jablonski's exquisite and delicate touch.
Very good music that fully deserves to be recorded and reproduced through SACD.
