to three different publishers at once (the triple-dating only came to
light when two of the publishers met at a trade fair in Leipzig).

Between Pachelbel organ works by Antoine Bouchard and Bach Well tempered Klavier with Andras Schiff and my favorite version with Vladimir Feltsman i go on with: Samuel Feinberg sonatas. this Russian giant pianist among other some Russian giants pianists, was also a great composer... His sonatas, greatly influenced by Scriabin, even if they are under the best of Scriabin, are indeed very beautiful and over many other composers works anyway... I am in love with them.... They are my favorite with Shostakovich piano works....The only version i know by Nicolaos Samaltanos and Christophe Sirodeau is very good if not more than that.... 😊 When Scriabin died, all Russian people take a mourning for a long time....God sad for them, knowing anything from the beginning of time, gives them Feinberg sonatas, and Shostakovich piano works and one, if not the best, piano school there is in the world to console them....Then russian people can goes on listening Scriabin played in an optimal way.... And the rest of the world underestimate Scriabin and dont even know Feinberg works.... 😪😌 |
Here's a real revelation for me. Mendelssohn, complete piano music, played by Howard Shelley, on Hyperion. The playing is excellent, the recording is superb (the piano is in my room), and the music has come as a most pleasant surprise. I started with vol. 2 as that's the CD that arrived first: Rondo, Fantasias, Lieder, etc. Delicate, lyrical, and muscular, forceful by turns, I'm enjoying this more than a recent transversal of Schumann. Highly recommended. |
