Record Review: non-BaL discs reviewed, etc.

[amateur51]

Funny thing is, that while the Schiff was criticised for lack of humour, it is the humour that he emphasizes in his booklet notes for the double album.

How does the fortepiano performance sound, compared say to Jörg Demus's and Andreas Staier's, Bryn?

For the moment I will only comment "quite different". I am preparing to head up to Gt Marlborough Street for an 18:30 recital by Dave Smith and John White at Schott Music. Will comment further tomorrow (if I remember).

Cheers Bryn - enjoy your concert & I look forward to hearing about it & your Diabelli reviews.

Yesterday's pianothon CD Review was very good indeed. I really enjoyed the Diabelli Variations. I cannot though, remember which one the panel chose. I do rather like this kind of discussion.

Jeremy Denk's Goldberg variations CD sounded wonderful and is a must-have for me.

- I never thought I'd ever want to buy another piano version of the Goldbergs, but the Musicianship here was such a joy to hear: irresistable.

Belated thanks to Thropps, too, for flagging this up elsewhere - impeccable taste, sir!

what an interesting artist Jeremy Denk seems to be. (though i don't know much about him).

Second all that. A handful of copies were instantly purchased yesterday and just as soon solved as many Christmas present problems (with a free MP3 'rip' download from amazon for Santa's helper, too )

You too, huh?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

You too, huh?

An idle thought: if you purchase, say, four copies of a CD included in this offer, does Amazon put four MP3 versions onto your computer/cloud?

Playing here as I type. I am, however, a little (though only a little) surprised to read the above from one so close to the law.

Those mp3s are exclusively for the use of the recipient of the CD/DVD combo, do they not?

No doubt there are fine legal minds devoted exclusively to the definition of the word "recipient".

I imagine what Cals is up to here is testing the rigour of legal precedent, and not indulging in some dubious semi legal shenanigans.

That Beethoven/Ligeti CD was my introduction to Denk's musicianship. Not to be missed.

I am the recipient, i.e. purchaser. If I choose to give away one or more of the items later, that's up to me...
