I think the singers overdo it a little bit. Only if you are deeply into 17th century Roman baroque. Stradella e.g. is the more compelling composer.

HutchFan Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 (edited) Now listening to this opera: Prokofiev: War and Peace / Melik-Pashayev, Kibkalo, Vishnevskaya, Petrov, et al (Melodiya, rec. 1959) Years ago, after buying it used, I discovered that the first CD in this set is defective.   So today I began with Scene 8 -- the first of the "war scenes" that make up the second half of the opera -- on disc 2.   48 minutes ago, Chuck Nessa said: A favorite since the '70s.  Yes, both Münch and Roussel are terrific.  Edited June 14 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I'm listening to a couple different interpretations of Brahms' Ballades, Op. 10:  and It's probably unfair to compare Peter Rösel with Emil Gilels. (It's probably unfair to compare any pianist with Gilels. ) But Rösel holds his own. He doesn't quite plumb the depths that Gilels does. Rösel's reading is much more "middle of the road"; even so, it's still very impressive. Gilels, on the other hand, is much more mercurial. His recording modulates outward and inward by turns, sometimes imperious & extroverted and other times intensely lyrical & inner-focused. Maybe I'll listen to Michelangeli and Rubinstein next.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 (edited) Continuing with my little exploration of Brahms' Op. 10:  and   38 minutes ago, soulpope said: Rösel has consistently a level-headed approach, which works fine with Brahms .... Yes. "Level-headed" is a good description. It's very effective indeed.  Edited June 14 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
