Landscapes: Scarlatti, Schubert, Albéniz & Mompou
Andrew Tyson, piano Alpha (2019), via Qobuz A well-chosen and played collection by Tyson. His performance of Schubert’s first sonata in A excellent. Sound is good as well, with considerable dynamic range.

As you can tell, I listen to more LPs than digital media, but after reading so many great reviews of this set, I bought the 24 bit 96 khz FLAC version. I began with the first two, No, 6 and No. 12 (They are not in numerical order). It won't displace my beloved Quartetto Italiano LP set, but it is certainly a vibrant performance, and the sound is quite good, if not as warm as the QI's recording.

Quote:
I have several of QI’s Philips recordings on vinyl - Mozart, Haydn, Boccherini, Schubert, Debussy - and enjoy them, but have no Beethoven. Guess I’ll have to look for this.

What Classical Music Are You Listening To Tonight?
Ivan Ilić Plays Haydn: Symphonies Transcribed by Carl David Stegmann
Chandos (2019), via Qobuz Here’s a fun recording of Haydn symphonies transcribed for piano in the early 1800s, a common practice before the advent of recording which allowed for parlor performances.
