So we agree in good part. <BR/><BR/>That said, Stadtfeld isn'tjflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017753357752263113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607352.post-75902702033605497612008-05-15T18:19:00.000-05:002008-05-15T18:19:00.000-05:00Austrian pianist Ingrid Marsoner gave a memorably ...Austrian pianist Ingrid Marsoner gave a memorably intimate performance of this work at the Austrian Embassy about a year ago.

I, too, find I can't get enough recordings of this work and am constantly listening to a different recording. On the whole, however, this one is my favorite because it consciously breaks with expectations and tradition.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps my least favorite recording appeared sometime ago on the Hyperion label under the name "Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607352.post-70916021236646914542008-05-15T14:06:00.000-05:002008-05-15T14:06:00.000-05:00wow. your blog is so nice, so "high" and learned. ...wow. your blog is so nice, so "high" and learned. so european, too. i'm just a newbie in classical music and i don't know this work. maybe i could appeal on my relatively early age: there are things impossible to comprehend when you are too young, like certain italian red wines or jazz... best regards from north of italy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607352.post-33873627478096823602008-05-15T14:01:00.000-05:002008-05-15T14:01:00.000-05:00Good post.I was hoping you'd write more about Stad...Good post.<BR/><BR/>I was hoping you'd write more about Stadtfeld's Goldbergs, tho, having only heard him play it on Youtube due to my refusal to pay like $40 to have it shipped from Amazon.de (thank you, weak dollar). Stadtfeld's willingness to change octaves on repeats strikes me as at least one small step toward where I believe classical music as a whole needs to be heading in the 21st Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414339439299245309noreply@blogger.com
