JSngry Posted April 7, 2018 Report Posted April 7, 2018 Cool! Is this the "type" of thing she does, if not exactly regularly, at least on occasion? With her dancing/ballet background, it seems like it might be a natural enough fit? Quote

With her dancing/ballet background, it seems like it might be a natural enough fit? I have to confess, I don't really know much about her: but yes, I think the dance background would help identify with this piece (original commission was from Ida Rubinstein I think), and also the stage experience. And it certainly does feel natural here. I can imagine her sounding great in something like Stravinsky's Persephone too (a part Rubinstein did in the original performance, I think). 3 hours ago, soulpope said: Great recording.... Seems that way! It's new to me; I picked it up after hearing a fantastic version on the radio from Symphony Hall, Birmingham, the other week. 2 hours ago, soulpope said: LOVE Annie Fischer's Beethoven. She pretty much owns op.109!!! Quote
