Daniel Barenboim - On My New Piano
Qobuz 24/96




I think this was the first official recording on a straight strung grand piano from Chris Maene.
It was Barenboim who asked Chris Maene to make him one.

We attended a classical concert with one of these pianos in Brugge earlier this year and liked what we heard.
Different: yes.
Not earth shatteringly so, but the notes are clearer, less smeared. Powerful sound.

[bart]

Dussek - Concerto for two pianos - Piano Quintet - Notturno Concertant
Alexei Lubimov
Olga Pashchenko, fortepiano
Finnish Baroque Orchestra
Qobuz 24/96




Entertaining and fresh music, that makes me think of Mozart, but also of Schubert and even Chopin.
Pashchenko plays on a fortepiano also made my Chris Maene, cf. my post above.

[bart]

Debussy - Les Trois Sonates - The Late Works
Qobuz 24/96




Really delicious works (duo and trio).
Great sound too.
This goes into my favourites!

[bart]

Copland - Orchestral Works 4 -Symphonies
BBC Philharmonic, Yuri Torchinsky
John Wilson
Qobuz 24/96




I'm a big Copland fan.
Call it blasphemy, but I think I might prefer this version of the 3rd symphony over the one I own with Leonard Bernstein. I'll check it later.
