This seems to be a popular coupling. I got this one recently: Lutoslawski & Dutilleux: Cello Concertos. Johannes Moser, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Thomas Sondergard. Pentatone
Absolutely! Now enjoying this new CD, only available to Marston Records piano subscribers: Marston | Lagniappe Volume 16 - Rosina Lhevinne
In the past, I haven't warmed to Hamelin's playing, but given your recommendation, the fact that I don't own anyone playing those works and that gorgeous cover, I will need to keep an eye out for this one.
Good points! On the other hand, Gould's playing of these French Suites comes across (to me), as that of an energetic young man, so in that respect anyway, I feel it fits.
Well, since we're talking about it... Going on the turntable is Bach: The French Suites, Nos. 1 - 4, played by Glenn Gould. Columbia Masterworks LP / 1973 ...and a photograph of Gould from around the time of this record's release: Typical hat, long coat, and thick gloves stuffed in the pocket... but one of the rare instances of playing the piano using a metal folding chair!
On the turntable: Brahms Piano Pieces, Op. 76, and Fantasias, Op. 116. Julius Katchen. I really love most of Katchen's interpretations of Brahms. Such passionate playing! I collected his LPs back in the '70s where I could find them -- some on the full-price London label (like the one below) and some on the budget reissue London STS (Stereo Treasury Series) label. London LP / Made in England / 1964
