I thought I had posted about this but it seems not. I found the Tetzlaff Beethoven insufferable look at me aren’t I such a virtuoso stuff - like a mid life crisis in performance form . Liked the Britten and Gesualdo though.

Just heard the Uchida/Rattle Beethoven PCs. Her earlier version with Kurt Sanderling is much better.

Thanks for the link. I agree that the CD cover is quite good - not naff (although the dress colours should have been swapped). But if it had been naff, I think a quick mention by the reviewer would have been ok.

Ve-ry interesting.... care to elaborate....? All ears.....

Oh dear - have I put my foot in it again. All I meant - honest - was that the colours on and around the violinist - beige dress, grey sofa, grey background, and blondish hair, seem to be from a different palette than the strong black, white, navy and purple of the other two.
But maybe anything else, or a swap, would have been too obvious in such an ironic (?) graphic design.
