This LP is not even available as used on Amazon US. I just checked and apparently I never bought the LP thirty some years ago ...
Over the last few days continuing with more Schumann, listened to several recordings from the Cortot box (Carnaval 1928 recording, Kinderszenen and Kreisleriana 1935 recording, Davidsbundlertanze 1937 recording) @Rose River Bear congrats to the Pats, don't know how you tolerate posting to the immature NFL thread here
His wife vomited black blood in his face on her deathbed (liver cancer), and shortly after she died, his father died. So, it's understandable that he is not quite the same as he once was.
I also read that Pogo lost the First Prize at the Warsaw Chopin Competition quite unexpectedly as he was the heavy favorite. Martha Argerich was one of the judges and she was so upset at the decision that she stormed out of the competition. But Pogo is usually my go-to pianist for most Chopin works ...
Yes that's the one. Sorry for not supplying a pic but I am currently without a photo site and not sure when I'll be doing anything about it. I am in the process of setting up my retirement so I have bigger fish to fry. Your cover is in better shape. The young man at the counter when I bought it said he really liked the cover. There's so much ringwear and not really a circular shape so I wasn't sure how much of his admiration was for the original art work or that created by father time and a little friction.
This recording is actually included in the following box, which IMO was very poorly planned since the box has only 15 CD's. Sir Colin recorded many more recordings with Philips ...
True. Even if you like the sound, it can be a bit overwhelming. So many centuries. So much to explore. But with patience and curiosity, it's a wonderful journey. So many musical joys hit me later in life - Opera and the Grateful Dead being two of them. I liked both well enough over the years, but they never grabbed me. And then one day they did.
Late night music on the turntable... Consort Music by English composer William Lawes (1602-1645). Performed by The Elizabethan Consort, directed by Thurston Dart. An Argo LP, recorded and made in England, 1968.
Or, rather than eliminate a variation or two, she could have omitted some of the repeats (within variations) and gotten along just fine. Many pianists do.
