| Classical Music for Aficionados RVI have been listening more to Eric Yu and although not endowed with a blistering Volodos technique I do concur that he is very special pianist indeed. | |
| Spotify for classical music lovers I also use a desktop stream recorder called Sound Tap and can say that listening to the recodings it makes I cannot hear any difference from the stream and the recording it makes. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @rvpianoRV @rvpianoR I listened to Eric Lu and then recorded him to my desktopI have to say he impresed me very Much ( I see he won the Leeds piano competition in 20 18 ) he should now be in demand from the major recital halls. I do find in his Ch... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @twoleftears I have been a fan of Grimaud for anumber of years now, she has loads of stamina and a very good tecnique. a recording of hers I admire is Schuman's Sonata in A Minor for violin and piano.Her partner on the recording is Gidon ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I don't know if this recording is availlable any longer but I have a boxed set of Ravel's complete works by, Louis Lortie and I used to love it but like all daft audiophiles I still bought other people playing it. Last night I played some ofit fro... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @rvpiano I couldn't agree more RV as I like my particular composers too, but there was a time when I would not listen to the likes of Stravinsky and Prokofiev . Over the course of 40 years though I have come to like a lot of their output and... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert Hi Len yes my house is OK but storm is not oer yet so I won't count my Chickens. I too have watched planes landing at Prestwick in high winds and can't help but admire the pluck of those pilots. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Quite honestly Len the Scots couldn't give a stuff about the Royal family.I think the Queen and the prince of Wales should be the only ones that the state should keep, the rest get out and find a job ( too many hangers on ). In fact Len the Prince... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador Hi jeremy yes I have heard and have his new piano album and I think it gives a more tangible link to the 19th century piano playing and I think it also has a wonderful tone. Yes the dark side was meant to be a bit flippant because one ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados While we are on a Liszt theme at the moment I have been listening lately to some stunning piano playing from Daniel Barenboim from 1973 to 1983. It is called The Romantic Piano 1 and it is on Idagio at the moment with a complete set of the Chopin ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Hear Hear Len. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados We will miss Haitink ( now retired ) and Blomstedt very much when they go. In the summer of 2019 I watched some BBC Proms performances and one I really loved was Haitink at the helm of the VPO and he played Bruckner 's Seventh and after a few curt... | |
