Josquin | Victoria: John Potter
Secret History
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: Alexei Lubimov (harpsichord)
Tangere (Pre-Order)
Not thrilled that Lubimov chose a harpsichord as his keyboard here. I like Lubimov enough that I will get this but I just wish these guys would wake up and if they want to use a keyboard other than a beautiful grand piano then why not give us both as a package and let the listener decide what they prefer?
Brahms: Nelson Freire (piano)
Pre-Order
Bach: Helmut Walcha (harpsichord)
Keyboard Works. Same comment as with Lubimov here. Only because it is Walcha do I bend and accept.
Pre-Order
Debussy: Walter Gieseking (piano)
The Complete Piano Works. A little duplication but still wanted a complete set.
Pre-Order

Somehow not really clicked with me as a whole. Some great moments. Need a good long listen I think, although it feels a bit one paced and actually possibly in need of a bit of trimming. I shall persevere.
Anyone else bought this yet? It was one of my most anticipated buys of the year.

Give it time and you'll soon see it as a natural development of the first album. I think it's a tad more refined. The first album had more immediate appeal; this one takes more time and effort, but I think it's worth it.

I agree it has 'bedded in' and I do like it a lot. CD 2 of the deluxe edition is excellent I think, the demo versions are just that bit fresher and I really enjoyed them. Made me feel the main album just lacks a bit of that edge. Touch over-produced at times?

2 cd deluxe edition. Pretty good recording with very nice midrange clarity albeit a bit bloated on mid bass if played through S600
