Forbes Classical CD Of The Week: Minor Mozart Miracle


…Volume 4 of a new Mozart Piano Sonata cycle has appeared on the Oehms label and it is now apparent that they will have one of the most pleasant, musical, and delight-giving such cycles on their hands. A reference set that, had it only come onto the market 50 or 30 or even 15 years ago, would have been considered a classic by now. As it is, it might never be more than a notable set among too many such sets; by my Mozart Piano Sonata Survey’s count one of 82, currently. That shouldn’t keep you from exploring, though:…

* purchased at the time because I wasn’t able to get or afford the @Twins jersey I so wanted. Or rather to fit the Astros jacket I got because I couldn’t afford the Twins jacket I coveted.
It has been a long time. Subtext: Astros merch was often on sale back then…

Forbes Classical CD Of The Week: The Second Coming Of Celibidache


…The quality of this live recording, as the liner notes readily acknowledge, is not good: The light rig hums, there’s white noise, and the benches of the St. Florian Basilica creak. But what a performance! Rémy Ballot, for all practical purposes a no-name conductor, delivers a spellbinding performance of the sprawling, ingenious original version of Bruckner’s “Wagner” Symphony, perfectly paced in the über-resonant space of Bruckner’s St.Florian, and lasting 89 (!) minutes which Gramola somehow fit on one (!) CD. The Bruckner-Festival pick-up band responds with verve to …
