Having been Horowitz's pupil, and the most important one at that, he was thought by many to be a second Horowitz, or they thought he ought to be. Since he wasn't really that kind of pianist, he probably disappointed people with such expectations, including me. Eventually I realized my mistake and b...

Rach3: There is no proof that Scott Morrison thinks Trump is any more of a friend to be trusted than he does Macron, Johnson or Merkel. He plays the game, as is his and our right.

I have no other recordings of these concertos. Perhaps I should go out a bit more. Huge number of alternatives, of course, but suggest you start with young Jan Lisiecki's recent DGG set at YouTube, very different than Schnabel. That's what frightens me! Come on in , the water is fine.

Wont appeal to all tastes, but I enjoy ( and have a recording of ) Henri Dutilleux’ Cello Concerto, “Tout un mode lointain…”, written for Rostropovich, here a perhaps rare (?) live performance by cellist Victor Julien-Laferriere with RCO under Gergiev , in Amsterdam Oct.3, 2019 : https://www.nporadi...

Agree with much said , but as much as I adore the music of Federico Mompou, I have yet to warm much to his 28 or so solo piano works “Musica callada” ( “ silent music” I believe ). Have no recording, just listened at YT.

Recital in Vienna,live, not sure date, by Leif Ove Andsnes.

Impressive work for a 17-y...

.. I've pared down my hearing of the 9th. There is only so many times you can hear it!! And even then the 2nd movement is the best part for me.

For me , as well. Fortunately, I'm not off to a desert island anytime soon I hope ,especially since may be getting harder to find one not under water.

I enjoy Beethoven 7 more than his 3,5,9. But,overall, if I get just one composer's works on that desert island,it's Brahms.

I recall her doing Strauss' " Four Last Songs" on a PBS TV special with Mehta,NYPO, at Avery Fisher.After the first song, a be-furred matron in one of the front rows directly in front of Norman began clapping.Norman just continued looking out into the hall, while Mehta shot the matron such an angry ...
