I'm enjoying this disc of Toch's chamber music. Very well played and recorded.

For the new year, I'm starting all over again, listening to an amazing series of SACD discs by Channel Classics . . . .

Mozart - Complete Sonatas for Keyboard and Violin - Volume 1 (of 8)

Rachel Podger - Baroque Violin
Gary Cooper - Fortepiano



This is my hands-down favorite set of Mozart anything . . . His complete sonatas for violin and keyboard, played by geniuses and recorded by an extraordinary team of perfectionists. Superb playing - excellent sound.

Seems that Bart and I play this stuff over and over - and we've been joined by several of you. Anyone who hasn't tried any of the volumes 1-8 in this series has really missed out.

Thanks Rbbert! I am going to check this out. I've been looking for a high resolution recording of this piece.

Default Beethoven: Piano Concertos Nos. 1, 2

Happy New Year, everyone.

Beethoven: Piano Concertos Nos. 1-5 (complete)
Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano)
Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Nikolaus Harnoncourt



I'm starting 2015 off right with this set. Listening to concertos #1 & #2. Aimard, the COE and Harnoncourt are superb here.

Thanks, Julian - I'm hoping Channel Classics releases this set in a budget box this year so I can get the whole thing inexpensively and enjoy what you have been enjoying.

One of my favorite recordings of this work. Wonderful SACD audio.



By the way, if my post has inspired you to buy the SACD version, none of the inexpensive versions is actually the SACD despite the Amazon listing. For some reason, they never change it despite numerous people telling them about the error. At the moment, you'll have to pay about $75. I understand that the regular CD sounds very good, too, however.

Happy New Year all. Had family staying with us since Before Christmas. Wonderful to have them, but nothing but background music for almost two weeks. It's nice to be in front of the system again.
Now playing:
Carl Maria von Weber - Wind Concertos
Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Alexander Janiczek conducting

Another outstanding Linn recording with very nice performances.

Sheppard played all six Partitas in a single evening--quite a feat--and this presumably unedited recording reveals astonishingly accurate finger-work and powerful interpretations. He makes full use of a modern grand's resources, including some judicious pedaling, and a broad range of dynamics and touch. The sound is crystal clear. It's a rather close perspective, but the mics pick up enough room sound to keep the audio from being too clinical and dry. The mics also pick up a little pedal/foot noise, but very little from the audience. All in all, one of my favorite recordings of this music. Oh, and my copy was autographed for the previous owner!
