Streaming Arthur Rubenstein's "Chopin's Nocturnes" for my morning reading session. He is making it difficult to concentrate on my book.

24/96 Alpha Classics download. Pianist Behzod Abduraimov performs a suite of 10 pieces from Sergei Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet, Maurice Ravel's dark Gaspard de la nuit, and Dilorom Saidaminova's The Walls of Ancient Bukhara (an homage of sorts to Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition).

Abduraimov is a major competition winner, but strikes me as a bit brisk where he shouldn't be in Romeo and lacking in brooding atmosphere in Gaspard. The notes are right, but if you're looking for the spirit of either piece, this release ain't it. Which is too bad, because the recording team nailed the sonics.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Requiem, K. 626 (Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Bohm)

Recorded in 1971, so resolution and dynamic are not so high, but Bohm's version is very interesting!
