Lisitsa doesn't quite have the mind boggling virtuosity of KB, but imo her performances go deeper.

KB tends to suit my preferred repertoire I guess.

What do you think of it, Steve? I thought it pretty good in a minimalist way. Great recording. Don't understand the castanets, though.

Les Cris De Paris are excellent.

Came across this one in a charity shop in Sidmouth this morning. A piece I am not familiar with, perhaps I should be, so far it is rather stunning, full of emotion and passion, I believe the conductor is rather famous as well.

Certainly the boy's most popular symphony, I absolutely love it.

Atmospheric would be a good word to sum this album up
I am not sure if it belongs here

Christiane Edinger, quite slow but sublimely beautiful

The cello concerto sounds quite awesome with 1kWpc behind it.  My goodness, the brass is recorded nicely. |

Playing it with 'only' 200Wpc is enough for me.
Not the greatest music. The cello sounds good, though.

Definitely a Marmite album. I like it. Might be the type of classical that John would like, too. |

Happy birthday, Beethoven.
250 years young today.
One of my favourite sets of his violin sonatas, played on authentic instruments, in a very reverberant acoustic.

Bach played on a ukulele.
And why not!
Actually it's rather good. It's certainly interesting.
