Emil Gilels L. Beethoven Sonata No. 8 D Minor Op 13 "Patetieskya" Sonata No. 14 D flat Minor Op.27 "Eunnya" My Russian is better than I thought. Shouldn't sonata no. 14 be in C# Minor?
Thank you! (I can't read a word of Russian...) If that "Sonata No. 14" is supposed to be the "Moonlight," then it should be in C# Minor.
Arvo Pärt - Tabula Rasa (ECM) This is the album that sent me on a buying spree of Pärt's music. I didn't even notice that Keith Jarrett played on the opening track until months after owning it.
I've heard that before but I still haven't heard that recording. What is it about the RCA recordng that makes it stand out?
We need something serious to balance the fluff you people have been posting. This is from 1965. Previn was pretty much past his jazz pianist phase & beginning his conducting career. He was also still composing for films & turning out pop/easy listening albums for Columbia. Three of the numbers on this were written by Previn & his then-wife Dory Langdon, although only one, the movie theme song "Goodbye, Charlie (you can look it up) has Langdon's lyrics sung, in this case by an excruciatingly annoying female chorus. Paich was a great jazz arranger, but jazz content is minimal. Previn plays harpsichord on some cuts.
This is strange. I hear everybody here refer to Rampal as The Man with the Golden Flute but I was under the impression it is this chap.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Galway-Man-Golden-Flute/dp/B000026OJB#
Recorded 11/80, Philharmonie, Berlin. Producer: Michel Glotz. Engineer: Wolfgang Gülich. An early digital recording that sounds warm rather than harsh. This time I really noticed the early Sibelius links to Tchaikovsky.
Shostakovich for breakfast, his wonderfully scored last symphony. Recorded 3/17-18/91, Severance Hall. Producer: Friedemann Engelbrecht. Engineer: Eberhard Sengpiel. Assistant: Everett Porter.
