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!

No.1 has a very unusual, fascinating decades-long backstory of course..... which hopefully will be found online or read in the booklet...Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 31-12-20, 18:56.

Originally posted by Jonathan View PostIt's a very good recording - the Scharwenka is a superb transcription and works very well and I think the Beethoven sounds less problematic than it usually does in this performance too.
Op. 134 is quite a triumph, too. I have not felt much of a draw towards returning to previous recordings of this, on the face of it, straight forward transcription. Here it comes across as much more than that. I will be returning to this, soon.
