Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Many thanks for that, Ferney. Alas, it wasn't that one. I did google it and three versions of the 'Rach Pag' on CfP appeared but not with a cover I remembered.

Ah! The one I linked to was the one that CfP released in 1976 (the time you mentioned) - perhaps there was a previous CfP version (which I can't find)? I had - indeed, have the later CfP with Tirimo; on cassette! (Serviceable: no great shakes, I thought.)

Looking at discogs - there only appear to have been three CfP versions - the one fhgl referred to , the Tirimo and finally on CD the former EMI Eminence coupling with Fowke and Temirkanov.

Played the old Ashkenazy/Previn this morning - sometimes familiarity breeds contempt - it really is very good.

Oddly, my knowledge of my record collection in my formative years is usually pretty good but, on this occasion, it seems to have failed me. Anyway, a terrific work.

They were a great partnership - used to have an LP (don't have the CD) of them playing Rachmaninov's 2-piano works.

One of the best musical partnerships of their generation! They are very good friends I here.
