Though the Steinberg's sound is OK for its time (it's a live performance BTW), the work is, as some record label used to say, a "sonic spectacular." There may be a modern recording around somewhere, but I don't know of it. BTW the Pittsburgh Symphony in 1952 was quite a band. Thank you for the link. Will have a listen for sure.

Alexander Hawkins Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Referentzhunter said: cd 1, Claude Debussy's Preludes Book 1 & 2 beginning. 'Dino Ciani'. Alfred Cortot called him miraculously gifted. 'Brilliant Classics', budget label that keeps improving. Little booklet included, nice cover also, cd's in seperate covers with information all conceiled in a nice clamshell-box. Found this in thriftshop for only 1.50 euro and i am very happy with it. Did forget to mention that the sound on these Brilliant boxes is really good ! Love Ciani - what a brilliant, brilliant pianist! (And also my introduction to these Weber sonatas). Mozart Symphony 29 from this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And also my introduction to these Weber sonatas). I particularly enjoy his Bach. IIRC there are also some recordings of some of the (often totally wacky) Rossini piano music.
