Watch out for the many different approaches he has for timing and phrasing - from totally free to straightahead.

Thanks yeah, it's a ride all right. ... Hence the title, yes?

Bach - BWV 1041 & BWV 1060

Beethoven - Op.18/4

Have that Hahn recording squirreled away on my watch list. Criticisms range all over the place on various recordings of those -- from too fast tempi that obliterates counterpoint, to ... whatever -- but from what little I've gleaned from samples, this one sounds lovely.

 

NP: Bach Violin Concertos

Collegium Musicum 90, Simon Standage

... which is quite lovely also ...

[mikeweil]

This morning:

Now playing:

This is music I grew up with - some of it was featured every week on local classical radio programs, although in other recordings, probably the most famous by the composer's younger sister, Marie-Claire Alain. I loved it instantly, but never got around to buy a recording until last week, when there was a sale on Naxos CDs for less than two bucks a disc. Lebrun plays very well on an excellently suited organ by Cavaillé-Coll - some of my favourite organ music, and highly original.

The title comes from one of Royer's pieces, Le Vertigo - a vivid description of that condition.

They look very serious and severe in the photos I've seen. Is their music like that? Or perhaps I've just seen the wrong photos.

Well, I don't think you can perform Beethoven unless you're serious, but they sound more joyful than severe to me.
