  1. Indeed! Actually went back to this Gerontius the other night after watching a nice new BBC documentary about Baker...
  2. Wow...Janet Baker on this recording...incredible...
  3. Absolutely! This recording is new to me, but as you say...incredible clarity.
  4. Tunes, but pretty open!
  5. For me, some of the greatest piano playing committed to record. (Apologies for hyperbole, but...)
  6. Don’t know this one, but listened to Neumann/Czech Philharmonic doing Mahler 2 only yesterday...also wonderful!
  7. Was revisiting the Stephen Kovacevich recordings recently...also wonderful IMHO!
  8. Very much so...desert island stuff in practically everything he plays, for my tastes at least!
  9. I think Pollini is a genius (even with all the provisos for this being an overused word) in Beethoven concerti (and the sonatas and Diabellis, FWIW). I also find this recording, of him playing some when very young, fascinating: And this document is also very special:
  10. Really wonderful Schumann 'Noveletten'.
