Ivo Pogrelich  plays Schumann op 17 "live" @ Rotterdam in 2014 .... a slow and individual reading which sheds new light on numerous details and the euvre as a whole ....

[soulpope]

Recorded "live" @ Konzerthaus Wien on May 2nd, 1972 .... Christa Ludwig levitates and Leonard Bernstein at the piano a startling discovery ....

[soulpope]

Recorded @ Beethovensaal Hannover in July 1991 .... back to Ivo Pogorelich and the time of his career, when the youthful "Sturm und Drang" attitude was largely gone .... Haydn here a perfect choice, as Pogorelich mixes playful glimpses with deepened thoughtfullness ....

Sviatoslav Richter plays Haydn "live" @ Jouques on February 22nd, 1992 ....

[soulpope]

Recorded in May 2000 .... Alain Planes with Schubert always a safe bet ....
