... I resisted the Brautigam Mozart piano concertos when they came out on individual discs, hoping that they would eventually make it in to a box. They have - and I have succumbed - I hope it's winging its way here -
Buy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: The Piano Concertos by Brautigam/Kolner/Willens from Amazon's Classical Music Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Ordered, having briefly glanced through a friend's copy. It looks to be a very fine example of the genre. https://rickardsisters.com/

Having been swept away by her Goldberg Variations and her Ravel and Stravinsky disc - I bought Beatrice Rana’s Prokofiev2 and Tchaikovsky 1 with Pappano.
This arrived just before Christmas and I have only listened to the Tchaikovsky this evening. I think it is one of the best recordings of this piece I have ever heard - extraordinarily musical and I keep hearing all manner of detail that has previously passed me by .
Looking forward to the Prokofiev in the morning and now to the Pappano Bernstein symphonies set with Rana in the Age of Anxiety -arriving.

I'm contemplating suggesting The age of anxiety as one of our 2021 Summer Building a Library threads.

I enjoyed her Prokofiev 2 even if not quite a match for my favourite recording with Freddy Kempf on BIS.
But then, I like Angela Hewitt's playing, which I know others find too cool and detached!
I thought that her Bernstein lacked real 'swing' where it mattered, too, sadly, but that might be a result of too much attraction to (and influence of) the first version I got to know, Entremont and the NYPO under Bernstein.
But I hope (and expect) that you'll like the set as a whole.
I see that I have six versions of The age of anxiety on my shelves, so I should probably make a confession/declaration on the 'Multiple recordings' thread.

Earlier today I received an email from amazon.it advising that this would be delivered tomorrow. However, just now, another email arrived, this time advising the set was "In consegna", so no galavanting around town for me today. Not that I would have been, anyway. As Max Boyce might almost have said, "oggi, oggi, oggi". (Coat off hook.)

I didn't know I was waiting for it, but Lang Lang's studio version of the Goldbergs has just turned up, ordered as a communal present by my partner, after listening to a R4 (sic!) programme about the recording (possibly as he was trying to get to sleep the other night )
Here's the link:

They hope to despatch it by 6 January 2021: a nice Epiphany treat to myself.Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 31-12-20, 17:07.

Yes, I have it!
Rattle is one of few conductors (imho) who can 'do' swing, and I was pleased (and pleasantly surprised!) that he got the BPO to swing along with him; I could envisage him more readily with the LSO in such repertoire.
PS: Zimerman (pianist) not Zimmermann (violinist), btw. I know you've been listening to the Martinu Violin concertos!
