Harold Budd
Lovely Thunder
Philips LP (p) 1976
"Isolde Ahlgrimm performed the above works
on a Rubio Harpsichord with 2 manuals"
Ahlgrimm's style of play is great fun and dynamic imho,
and the reproduction is fresh, vibrant, and captivating.
All her works are very highly recommended imo : )
Debs
Still can't get over what a great record this is.
Richter: Schumann Piano Concerto in A minor Op.54
Very dry and bouncy compared to others including his earlier recording with Gauk/USSR SRO.
