Wow, Peter, indeed a splendid firework of music!
I just also made a beautiful discovery of some wonderful Haydn piano sonatas in minor ! So far I was not aware of how great Haydn was in piano sonata writing!! Just listen to the fire of the Finale of the B-Minor sonata or to the slowFinale of the c#-Minor sonata ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEAl0YG3bgUComment

Yes it's ridiculous that his sonatas still remain in the shadow of Mozart's or even Beethoven's. My favourites are C minor. Hob.XVI 20, E minor Hob XVI 34, Eb Major Hob XVI 49 and Hob XVI 52, but there are plenty of other superb examples and you may enjoy this complete set played by Ilse Von Alpenheim (over 10 hours of music here!)Originally posted by gprengel View Post

Wonderful of course as it's Kissin! By coincidence I was listening to the same piece played by the brilliant blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii - formidable as those leaps are for a sighted pianist, imagine the extra difficulties to face playing with no vision - remarkable.Originally posted by Megan View Post

His playing is so utterly wonderful, what a special gift he has! I really enjoyed that and listened twice over. Thanks for that Peter.

Me too. Back when I was collecting all his work on CD and discovering many of them for the first time I was constantly amazed at the quality and creativity of his work, all in great quantity too!Originally posted by Quijote View PostComment

Happy St. Patrick's Day!Comment

Not too long ago, an aged friend gave me several Classical CD's (of the budget variety). There were a couple of Bruckner symphonies in the group, including one of the 9th, performed by Cesare Cantieri with the Suddeutsche Philharminc (further research shows that the conductor is more likely Skrowaczewski). I would rate the performance highly but the recording has a fatal flaw in that the adagio is set in the first and 3rd tracks of the CD with the scherzo as the 2nd track. When I first played the CD, realizing that the first track was the adagio I wondered if the 1st movement got set as the 3rd track and that idea intrigued me of mixing the order of the movements. (The intrigue didn't last long, but I thought it an interesting thought.) It was a good listen and, overall, I didn't mind too badly missing the first movement but would very much like to have heard it with that performance.Comment

Franz Lachner, a friend of F. Schubert who wrote some fantastic symphonies, again surpises me with a for me new discovery - his Requiem! What beautiful gems can be found here! Please listen to these tracks :
