Ingrid Haebler was one of the pianists whose recordings were fraudulently issued as the work of Joyce Hatto.  A highly bizarre story about which much can be found on the Internet.

Hi Stijn,

I`m partial to Suske Quartet`s view on Mozart .... these were recorded between 1974 -1978  and assembled here :

Concise no frill readings paired with prodigious playfulness.... highly recommended ....

Seeing these posts compelled me to spin discs 4-6 (the later quartets).

[HutchFan]

Now playing a recent acquisition:

Bruckner - Symphony No. 7 / Tintner, RSNO (Naxos)
This is the first recording I've heard by conductor Georg Tintner. I like his approach very much -- relatively transparent textures; less monumental, more "flowing."  And there's no shortage of atmosphere, despite of the lighter touch. ...It's easy to hear Wagner in Bruckner, but I think Tintner's way with the music makes Bruckner's connection to Beethoven more pronounced.

I remember when Tintner's Bruckner recordings on Naxos were first released and making a big splash. I read about them in Gramophone and the rest. It's odd that those days were 20 (!) years ago. And I'm just getting around to hearing them now. Better late than never, I guess.

I got a bunch of 'em and enjoy the alternative editions, etc. Only kept Study Symphony, 00 and 1 through 4. He was for real.

There's always more music to discover. I like that.

 

Now I'm listening to two different versions of Vaughan Williams' Fourth Symphony back-to-back.

First up:

Paul Daniel with the Bournemouth SO (Naxos)

 

And now spinning on my 'table:

André Previn with the London SO (RCA)
LP engineered by Kenneth Wilkinson ("Oh yeah!") on Dynaflex vinyl ("Oh no!").
