And it sounds fantastic!!

That reminds me Ewemon. Did anything ever come up for the gig in Edinburgh?

Apologies just haven't cut them to disc.

Have 3-4 recordings of the show so will work on them for definite this week.

Kempff's stereo Beethoven sonata cycle has just received a budget price slimline reissue. A few wonderful weeks of listen ahead to judge from the first sonata.

Hi Tam, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how this compares with the mono set (which I own).

Thanks
Nigel

I'll try and let you know (though Todd is far better equipped to answer the question). Obviously sound is better, but despite having lots of sonata recordings I don't know the works as well as I know some others. The mono set has the better reputation musically but I was very impressed by the first disc (op.1 nos 1-2 and op.7). Nicely understated playing and very beautiful. I may try and do some serious comparing at the weekend.

regards, Tam

Haven't listened to this one yet - how did you like it?

Very good! I saw him during the Spring and he played most of these tunes. Reminiscent of Cannonball Adderly's Quintet with his brother Nat in the harmony of the alto sax and trumpet.

Many thanks - have put it on my list.

I'm having a great day listening to this collection + it's HDCD.

Earlier today: A. Forcione - Dedicatio, Stan Getz - Cafe Montmartre, Nick Cave - Dig Lazarus Dig.

...on the black stuff.

Looks very promising - would love to compare them to the DCCs.
