Referentzhunter Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) My first listen and i don't want to be to pretentious about my knowledge about these Sonatas, but.... Difficult sonatas to play i would say. He plays them super fast if required but harmonic also and with soul. I could imagine Prokofiev would be proud. It has the Russian touch. I am super happy.

Referentzhunter Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) One euro find in mint condition. A lot of music for 1 euro i would say. Not bad. Edited March 1, 2019 by Referentzhunter Quote
Referentzhunter Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 Also 1 euro find. Heard good things about Horowitz playing Scarlatti. Beautifull textured cover also. Quote

HutchFan Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 6 hours ago, Referentzhunter said: She plays Chopin if it is Rachmaninov. Yes, exactly. Good description. Between Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem and Vaughan Williams' Sea Symphony, I've been on a choral kick lately. Until recently, I never thought of this symphony as one of Vaughan Williams' best. Now I do. Handley's recording has completely won me over. Quote
Referentzhunter Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) On 27-2-2019 at 3:30 AM, HutchFan said: Johannes Brahms - Ein Deutsches Requiem - Herbert von Karajan, Berlin PO, Weiner Singverein, Gundula Janowitz, Eberhard Wächter (DGG) Here's my take on Karajan: He could be very hit-or-miss, depending on the repertoire. Karajan's Sibelius and his Bruckner are legendary, but I've never really grooved to them. And HvK's Mahler gives me the willies! To my ears, they're a complete mismatch of composer and conductor. And yet . . . Karajan's Brahms is AMAZING. It almost always wins me over. . . . His Brahms is like his Beethoven. It just sounds right. Or at least it does to me. Also a bad combination are Mozart and Karajan. yak Edited March 1, 2019 by Referentzhunter Quote
