HutchFan Posted November 26 Report Posted November 26 12 minutes ago, soulpope said: Interested in your impressions .... It's gorgeous music making. I'm enjoying it! Planès' playing strikes me as very buttoned-up and ultra-precise -- very "French" -- but these qualities give the music a different sort of drama than I've heard in Schubert before. It's a less Romantic sound; instead, it's an approach that seems to anticipate modernists like Debussy. I'd say that it's an interpretation that pays attention to air and the space-between-notes as much as it does to the notes themselves -- and this isn't something I'd normally associate with a composer like Schubert. Does that make sense? Quote
HutchFan Posted November 26 Report Posted November 26 (edited) For comparison's sake, I'm now listening to Ashkenazy's version of Schubert's D. 894: Relative to Planès' reading, Ashkenazy's more traditional interpretation is equally beautiful -- but it's an entirely different sonic world.

Yes, exactly. I like your use of the word "unadorned." Sometimes music that holds something back has the most powerful emotional effect on the listener. Quote

I figured Wit's performance might have a special something, given that he's a Pole leading a Polish orchestra. Of course, that's not always an accurate indicator. But sometimes . . . Quote
HutchFan Posted November 27 Report Posted November 27 Now listening to Mahler's First Symphony, as heard in this set: More from Bruno Walter's brilliant "Indian Summer" at Columbia Records. Quote
