Works from Van Beethoven, Franck, Schumann.
As usual with this label, sound and performance are top.
The fact it is played on a Chris Maene Straight Strung Concert Grand Piano makes all the more interesting.
Can't wait to hear it in 5.0!

Playing it now from the SSD in our streamer (WAV 32/352.8).
This must be one of the better recordings of 2020.

I shall probably listen to more classical music, very lucky to have such an active thread on AA, I'm going to try to participate but I need to do a little catch up first... please be indulgent!

Joel, we'll let you study the 22.5K posts first and then you'll have to do an entry exam!

Glenn Gould is a good choice.
He's a great singer.

Francesco Geminiani - 6 Concerti Grossi
Baroque Concert, Sigiswald Kuijken
via Qobuz




I have other, more modern versions of these pieces, but this performance is still top.
It was playing quietly into the practice today.

Wonderful album of the award winning Lischka, born in Vienna but now residing in Belgium (when she's not touring, which she does an awful lot).
Yesterday, the Klara Awards were announced, and this leading lady of the viola da gamba was one of the winners.
We saw her live a couple of years ago and it was a wonderful late night concert in the intimate chamber music hall of the Concertgebouw Brugge.

I'm a lover off the viiola da gamba since the movie 'Tous Les Matins Du Monde', where Jordi Savall is really enchanting.
Romina Lischka is a fantastic player of this instrument.
This album sits solidly in my Roon favourites.
