    I have that one, as well as most of the recordings he did for the Contemporary label. Not one of the great jazz pianists, but interesting with lots of technique. He returned to making jazz recordings in the 80s.

    Some (including me) feel he should have stuck with his classical job :)

    Now it's disc 8 of Mozart 225 The New Complete Edition. This disc almost completes the piano sonatas (there's one final sonata on disc 9) in recordings by Mitsuko Uchida and Maria João Pires:

    There's also Adagio in B Minor K540 from Alfred Brendel:

    And finally K574 and K355 from András Schiff.

    I'd love to have that. Manha de Carnaval is one of my fave movie melodies - period. The movie Black Orpheus very memorable.

    Nothing beats this version :love:



    and this is a close second for me. :love:

    He is probably the best crossover classical music artist out there ...

    Wow, took me a long time to find this on Spotify. Never did find it by searching for the title, composer or group. I ended up doing a Google search and there was a Spotify link there I could use. As I initially couldn't find this recording I started listening to another group playing the Brahms quartets and was enjoying the warm rich sound. Switching over to the Amadeus Quartet was a bit jarring at first due to the sound quality difference. I found it quite cold and bright in comparison but got used to it after a bit. The playing is wonderful.

    I bought the SACD when those MLP discs were in print.

    I have those RCA performances. It's been years since I've played it, I went to the MLP for not only its performance but its excellent recording quality. I'll play the RCA set the next time I want to hear them.

    Yeah, it's weird how Spotify lists the artist as Johannes Brahms, Amadeus Quartet, Karl Leister, Christoph Esencbach. Amadeus Quartet would have sufficed.

    Another great LP from Philips featuring Arthur Grumiaux, dated 1966 and made in Holland. Performance and sonics are both superb.

    G.F. Handel: Six Sonatas for Violin, Op.1, first published in Amsterdam in 1724.

    Arthur Grumiaux, violin, with Robert Veyron-Lacriox, harpsichord.

  20. I have these recordings in Sony Classical's complete set. I picked that up in Avignon, France for €20, one of the biggest bargains ever. I love his recordings of concertos #15, 17 and 21.

    Good for you! That's awesome. Now you'll have another memory of that beautiful city....:sigh:

    He is still one of my favourite pianists for Mozart. I think he has a great understanding of Mozart...

  24. Yes, a wonderful city indeed. Lots of great memories and many excellent CDs, some from the street markets but most from the Fnac in the Rue de la République. Still worth a visit last time round (April 2016).

    This overpriced ($35) Speaker Corners remastered LP certainly sounds good, and the playing is phenomenal.
