What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Very late (1 AM) Liszt.
Cheers,

continuing the exciting journey..
I put this album up among Paul's top three post-Beatles efforts.
The cover photography from brother Mike is fantastic!
The ambigram of Paul McCartneys name on the CD is very cool as well.
Lyrically, musically, SQ-ly, and artistically a great CD!
Another D.960...
EJ
This is right now my favorite version of the piece...
I have too many recordings... She is among my favorites!
EJ
Cheers.
EJ
great recording
Yes - breathtaking. This is a recent addition and my find of the year. Thanks to Bert and Haim.

Pollini's was my first recording of the D.960.

Uchida's B flat is a masterpiece, one of the highlights of her Schubert series. (Mitsuko: please give us your interpretation of the Wanderer Fantasie!)

A Blues day today I think.
D.960 from Kempff's series. Kempff recorded a fair amount of Schubert's early work, so besides his acclaimed performances of Schubert's great works, he provides an excellent opportunity to hear a Schubert who still enjoyed the sun shine.
Kempff's account of the last sonata is very good and some of his best work on disc IMO; worth the price of admission of the whole set.
Cheers,
EJ
Rarely time to listen to Stravinsky, now I can .....:-)
Next: Perahia, with an impressively structured and crystal clear reading.
