Thanks i will go for it...
Ogden was my favorite Schumann Piano Concerto recording, with Paavo Berglund conducting. The perfectly capture the rhapsodic nature of that piece

My best for Schumann 4 th
Incredible haunting surreal out of this world Furtwangler whose interpretation had never even be rivaled save by Klemperer mastery second, but really only second... Furtwangler here surpass all maestros and taught a lesson ...Perhaps the greatest musical recording among all his recordings, if not, i dont even know which one is over this one....
i stop listening anything after these two, which give their musical direction the power to reveal Schumann obsessiveness near madness and his way to control it with music healing power over tempest...
is it music? It is more a desesperate victorious act to keep control over oneself by music writing ... It is the way Furt, directed it... A glimpse of hope amidst terrors and in spite of it , as a boat lost on sea between sunrising and sun down and directed as such by these two maestros... Sometimes a whirlwind capture us desesperate and is replaced by a false calm and the sun illuminate the darkness to be replaced by fate returning in the turmoil again and again ...
The suggestive power of this music put Schumann beside Beethoven with his evocative power and Furtwangler and Klemperer knows it , it is not another musical piece, but the radiography of a soul...
Sometimes music is more than just music... Here it is the case...
it is not a leisure nor a mere pleasure more a deep vision, crisis, meditation, a trance ...
Any other maestro direct it only as a beautiful musical piece... It is not...It is a mystery dancing in some living soul and here for us to see not just listen ...
...
If the world spiritual had a meaning in music it is now...

The most important of Chopin works... The mazurkas he wrote for a long part of his short life... My favorite interpretation... Difficult to play because the pianist must transmit a kind of dance rythm which is akin to a controlled set of little jumps in a controlled vertigo... It is the soul of Poland... Why a brazilian pianist among very few is the best i listened to ? Brazil with his roots in jungle indian tribes , his african slaves and Portuguese roots can produce rythm masters... Antonio Barbosa is a top not well known pianist but among the great pianists there is... He plays mazurkas as the dance they were not only beautiful melody as most pianists do... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYdYwk3Vjqg

Sometimes musical ectasy is easy.... A completely under the horizon masterful interpretation of Chopin Nocturnes... He surprize us with unknown aspects in well known pieces by his subtle singing....We even hear the teacher Bach behind the two hands of Brunhoff more than with many other version ... Chopin had a Bach altar in his heart , it is why his romantism is so well driven toward eternity than toward mortal time or despair... Bruhoff play it so.... His humility and perfection in the two hands dialogue is unsurpassed....Moravec is my favorite with this one.... Plastic perfection versus more singing...
