I’m still amazed at how dynamic these RCA recordings are, they can really knock you off your seat if you’re not paying attention. They sound so lifelike.

Bach: Das Wohltemperierte Klavier Buch I
Keith Jarrett, piano
ECM (1988)

I wish Jarrett would play more classical.

Playing this recording of Ning Feng playing Paganini and Vieuxtemps violin concertos from Channel Classics, via Qobuz. The performance is good, but I wish the violin were a little more forward in the mix.

Romance - The Piano Music of Clara Schumann
Isata Kanneh-Mason, piano
Decca (2019), via Qobuz

I quite like this recording.

Chopin: Mazurkas
Pavel Kolesnikov, piano
Hyperion (2016), 24/96 files

Beautiful recording, Kolesnikov is an impressive Chopin interpreter.

I love these works, I admire the cellist, and they all do play well... but what happened with the sound engineer, if there was one?!
This doesn't sound good.

Barrière - Sonates pour le violoncelle avec la basse continue
Bruno Cocset
Les Basses Réunies




Just back from a concert with Bruno Cocset and Les Basses Réunies.
They played most pieces from their album 'Give Me your Hand'.
Cocset is a top musician.
The nuances he can put in his playing are fantastic.
This being said, I prefer this album to what we heard.
It has more soul than the celtic tunes.

Bart, I found this on Qobuz, is it the same recording, just a different cover?IMG_3801.jpg

Tony, yes it is.
You have a sharp eye!
I have both versions in my collection now.
I saw a CD cover of which I knew we didn't own, and I always like to support the musicians, so I bought it yesterday.
This will be a gift to somebody!
