Melvyn Tan - Beethoven and Schubert, 5th July

[amcluesent]

Inevitably ruined by Trelawny's inane prattling at every possible opportunity.

[DracoM]

Yes, a world class prattler.
BUT
the delight for me was hearing that Beethoven without all the flummery that goes with modern concert grand sounds /effects / player's ego. You could hear so many more of the complex musical lines being developed with greater clarity.

Had to make sure you'd taken your fingers out of your ears to exclude PT first, of course.

Some of my favourite CDs are those recorded on the Athene label by Joanna Leach playing square pianos
