BaL 28.05.16 - Schumann: Fantasie in C, Op17

[BBMmk2]

I'm glad that Argerich was favourably mentioned! :)

[Barbirollians]

Did Annie Fischer get a mention ? - her performance along with the very different Argerich, Brendel and Richter are my favourites.

I think that Frankl recorded it just the once, in which case you might be interested in a cheaper version - not sure about the sound quality in this version, though:

I used to own the Frankl Vox set. Trust me, no download could ever exceed the excruciating sound of the lps

And this was another BAL where neither the reviewer nor AMcG told us who was performing the introductory extract

For the record (review), just had an email from the programme saying that the review opened with an extract from the Paul Lewis performance.

be easier for all concerned if they just named the performance, really. I would have thought there was a protocol, or indeed rights obligation, in place to name all CDs played?

Jonathan Freeman-Attwood was impeccable yesterday, on this as with everything else.

It was all of a muchness with the Schumann reviewer's perfunctory approach, I fear. Bit of a (metaphorical) Friday afternoon job, I suspect

My old music master used to say that you could always tell a Frankl recording from the sound of Daniel Barenboim's mum eating crisps as loudly as possible in the background....
