Much appreciated Clive, thanks. Please don't let one thoughtless and mistaken comment put you off coming here. I've enjoyed listening to the Schönberg and Mahler very much (on the to listen to list next, Ogdon / Groves in Messiaen). Good to meet another Eric Dolphy fan .

I was responding to your offensive remark to clive heath , someone who has brought delight to many members via his website, and all you could do was to suggest that he was a spammer. You dole it out but can't take it, eh Panyan?

The Brahms Concerto with Barbirolli is a BBC Studios Manchester performance from the 16th september 1966 and although in mono, it is very good sound. Excellent performance. there is a fine rapport between Ogdon and JB. The filler is the Opus 111 of Beethoven given in the BBC studios in 1963. Also in good sound.
This is a fine CD.

Also on the disc is a stereo performance of the Schubert sonata D958 given in the Maida Vale studios in 1972.

I'm probably alone in not warming to John Ogdon's Scriabin recordings. My loss, obviously. To me they are just notes, swiftly and expertly despatched.
The following just arrived in my inbox. In case you haven't heard/seen this pull up a chair and enjoy.

Thanks slarty.
I have the 70th birthday 4 CD set they put out a few years back . This includes the unpublished Paganini Rhapsody where the piano does rather seem to zoom in and out of focus . Exciting performance though and the Bartok 1 that was also so unpublished .
Some crackers though especially his Rachmaninov 2 with Pritchard and an enormously musical Tchaikovsky 1 with Barbirolli. His own piano concerto is an acquired taste and not one I have quite acquired .
