I think I can safely say that Gulda observed the Lento marking in the F sharp major: he seemed to be applying it to the crotchets, though. Would like to know if anyone has heard it played any slower, or is this a record, as it were?

Pogorelich takes a minute longer...!Comment

OMG, as they say...I hadn't got that far into the Pogorelich recording: found his rather "snatched" way of playing the C major somewhat unsettling! Thanks for the reply, btw.Originally posted by Pianoman View PostComment

No problem - it's a typical Pog performance - enthralling in parts and maddening in others !Comment

Interested to hear that Gulda was very much at home in jazz as well as classical.Comment

You refer to the Epitaph für eine Liebe (replete with Gulda singing) which closes the second disc of the pair, I take it?Originally posted by Lento View Post
From what I have been able to glean from the Internet, on the DG double album recommended the Preludes are a compilation from two different recordings made years apart and on quite different instruments (A Steinway and a Bösendorfer).
There is another recording on the Audite label which uses a single recording from 1959, but I have not as yet heard it, and do not know which piano was used on that occasion. However, I think I might well be happier with that set.

Got to love those CD blurbs - "an unmistakeable pathos of objectivity" is a phrase to conjure with....whatever it meansOriginally posted by Bryn View PostThere is another recording on the Audite label which uses a single recording from 1959, but I have not as yet heard it, and do not know which piano was used on that occasion.

Perhaps it meant more in the original German, Rolmill. But then again...Originally posted by Rolmill View PostGot to love those CD blurbs - "an unmistakeable pathos of objectivity" is a phrase to conjure with....whatever it meansComment

Despite all the grumbling on this thread about this BAL, I acquired the Cortot that Hamilton spoke so eloquently about, and which is magnificent.Comment

Does anyone know when and on what label the Cherkassky recording of the Preludes originated?
On YouTube it's credited to 1968 and later it was released on CD in the Great Pianists series.Comment
