In Reply to: RE: Not 3rd World, of course, and wowowow! Thanks for Sokolov link, I assumed if not available on Presto, it posted by jdaniel@jps.net on November 08, 2016 at 07:32:55
You don't have to convince me about Sokolov - I'm a BIG fan too (even if he can be a bit erratic sometimes), and I do plan to download that Eurodisc Chopin album.
BTW, I'm sorry that Ivan Moravec never recorded either of the Chopin concertos. In his early-80's master class I was in, he played a couple of parts of the E-minor Concerto, but I guess he never played it in public (?).
Follow Ups:
will measure up to the Zimerman above.
He gets just about everything right, even the things he does different seem suddenly right.
.
there are a ton of pieces of music that I have an imprinted version in my mind where hearing one small note played a slightly different way will jar me but it soon passes and I can enjoy an entirely different interpretation of a piece I dearly love.
Good example is above. Everyone loves a Gershwin tune, even Vaclav Neumann!
My new favorite Concerto in F.
I love that recording, even though it's getting a bit long in the tooth sonically.
Of course, it was OK to do the Cuban Overture at that time, since Cuba was a fraternal socialist nation! ;-)
Just about every measure. I listened a couples times in an effort to acclimate, but no luck. The orchestral intro to the 2nd movt of the 2nd is really slow, Bruckner slow.
. . . some listeners might consider that second Zimerman DG recording mannered, but I'm just astonished by the perfection and unity of expression between soloist and orchestra. No other recording comes close in that regard. That of course doesn't mean that other (entirely legitimate and more conventional) interpretive approaches aren't also possible.
