That’s what I thought . Richard could the films be of post or pre war in Paris rather than during the war ?

I listened and enjoyed this very much, without the slightest inclination to buy any recording of such a piece! (Though Michelangeli playing it to the Pope was intriguing, and he's always worth hearing...) Ian Burnside is always good.Comment

He certainly is. 75 years young - and unfailingly revealing about whatever he talks about. A good deed in a naughty world. I feel I'll be better informed, when I next listen to this curious piece (though I am sticking with Brendel).Originally posted by silvestrione View PostComment

I would have had Ian in the early fifties. Pretty certain I saw him at West Ham’s old ground once.Comment

Got around to listening to the BaL. I have Thibaudet/Dutoit so no action needed, presumably. Interested to hear IB point to affinity with Pictures at an Exhibition. I recently got an excellent recording by Irene Russo of Liszt religious pieces, Brilliant Classics twofer called Angelus, Presto download, which includes the Totentanz for piano solo and also his late masterpiece Via Crucis which is also a musical walk - a stroll along the Way of the Cross, featuring at one point O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden.

Brendel/Haitink continued to shine for me and I was very taken with the old live Michelangeli. There was something a bit overdone about the Thibaudet for my ears but I suppose it could be thought to sound like Liszt showing off himself . Rather surprised that Zimerman seemed to fall by the wayside so early.Comment
