Charity Shop Trawl

[Pianoman]

I really couldn't judge where he stands on the Pianists' Podium. I've generally liked Jando's work over the years.

So have I - in fact this prompted me to sift through my collection, and the really standout Jandos for me are: The Liszt Annees, which is as good as any (including Berman); Schumann Quintet with the Kodalys; most of his Beethoven sonata cycle, but particularly the early works; Mozart concertos 17/18 (superb); Bartok Dance Suite; the whole of his Haydn Sonata cycle, up there with the best. Pretty good going for a 'hack' I'd say !

Today, in an obscure and unlovely suburb of Alfreton, called Leabrooks, I picked up Bartok: Complete Piano Concertos, played by Jeno Jando. The damage? 50 whole pence.

That's a bargain!
My fav. Bartok piano concerto set, by a mile.
My others are Ashkenazy/Solti Anda/Fricsay Kovacevich/C Davis

Jando is the Andrew Litton of pianists: consistently underrated and often inspired. Broad repertoire too.

I played the Bartok disc last night before going to bed. For the first time, these works made sense to me, so I consider it 50p well spent!

...and is he a pianist who understands deeply each work or does he just relish the big names and writes off the rest?

Hiya cloughie,

I've really no idea of his thought process. I'm just passing on what I considered to be an interesting viewpoint. And as I expected it has prompted some interest.

His Complete Beethoven Sonatas are on my computer, well worth having, especially at a mere £7.59 to download

Well said Alison.

You cant exactly fudge it in the LvB sonatas.

Indeed!

well quite.

although I think you'll find the current term is " Intellectual Phase Locking", not fudging.

Rupert ( Sheldrake)spoke with a scientist responsible for these efforts and concluded that the averages ( for force of gravity)are “just being fudged together”. The scientist discarded the term, “fudge” and rephrased it as “intellectual phase locking”.

" Intellectual Phase Locking"

Is this also the same thing as "misspeaking"?
