Oh dear... another hot young pianist tackles the mount everest of piano literature: Liszt's b-minor sonata. Pacini made an excellent impression with her Schumann and Mozart concerto disc, so look forward to hearing what she makes of less outwardly virtuosic music.

Glenn Gould: A State of Wonder The Complete Goldberg Variations 1955 & 1981

I have both versions on the vinyl but curious to hear the '81 version remaster included in this CD. What makes it interesting is that they went back to the original analogue tape rather than using the digital master ( since the digital recording was so new, Sony was running both the digital and analogue recorder for this session just in case )

I recall when this CD came out there was a lot of talk about how great this CD sounds compare to the previous vinyl and CD releases. Well, I'll get to compare with the original CBS digital vinyl which I think it sounds pretty good.

Fazil Say: Mozart Concertos 12, 21, 23

An interesting Turkish pianist. Let's see what he does with 'Classical' Mozart.

Benjamin Grosvenor: Chopin Listzt Ravel

Has anyone listened to this 18 year old kid?

Is he the next Backhaus!?

Since I have been on Chopin Scherzo kick, decided to see how he does.

EJ,

What's his style?

Not bought, but received from Santa:-

Idiosyncratic

Ha!

I might like him then!

Is he the next Glenn Gould? 

Thanks to the excellent recommendations on here, I had a Christmas splurge:

Neil Young – Psychedelic pill

Archive – With us until you’re dead

Van Morrison – No Plan B

Rokia Traore – Tchamantche

Beth Orton – Sugaring season

The XX – Co-exist

Looking forward to this!

Grrreat Christmas presents!

Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks Ultradisc II™ Stereo Hybrid SACD

Steven Wilson - Get All You Deserve

After just getting the OPPO 105EU BD player it has rekindled my interest in SACD again so I've just bought the following SACD's -

Plus another Elvis CD

Just ordered a couple:-

Funny, I just listened to this last week for the first time in 30+ years.  It brought back fond college days memories for me, but did nothing to my rather prog-averse wife.  It's something for me to listen to when she's not around
