In 2016 he released an album, called Schubert/Beethoven. As far as I remember, the Schubert is quite okay.

 

I heard many of his recordings. Sokolov has extremely idiosyncratic way of dealing with musical pieces - almost everything is "his own". In some cases it may work – you resist strongly, nevertheless in certain moment you find yourself captured by its crooked logic. What a pity in most of the cases this moment is not coming.

Seems to be his specific style ...

Composer and saxophonist Yosvany Terry with French pianist Baptiste Trotignon, Yunior Terry on bass and Jeff “Tain” Watts on drums.

From Yosvany Terr's website - "  the project captures the rhythms, melodies, and harmonies of the Caribbean, New Orleans and French Louisiana, re-imagined through 21st century aesthetics and a jazz sensibility"

 

Excellent jazz

Which are other favorites?)

For no. 1, anything with Szell (Curzon, Fleisher, Serkin), but I also like Zimerman/Rattle. 

 

For no. 2, Gilels in the different permutations, idem for Richter.

That reminds me, I have a stash of works by Toru Takemitsu that I should go through sooner rather than later.

 

And speaking Zen inspired music, album of last weekend:

 

禅 · 意

Rhymoi Blu-spec CD. Got mine from local China town. Image above has link to Amazon China.

 

Some combinations of Qin, bamboo flute and percussion on each track. Some of the tracks are from traditional Qin repertoire, those are Qin solo. The rest are improvisation with two or three instruments. The album cover has the English title Zen · Mind, but it's probably more appropriately translated as Sentiment of Zen.

 

Anyway, not posting for a little while since the Internet connection to my house was cut by vandal middle of last week. Lots of work to get Internet back :(

Just got this in my main language (Spanish) and it's very good, but available in several languages from:

Ferdinand David: Caprices Suite for Solo Violin, Op. 43

Reto Kuppel

 

9.70213.gif

 

The whole album is only 11min. Was going to post it to Song of the Day, but couldn't find a video anywhere.

 

Ferdinand David was a professor at Leipzig Conservatory, so writing solo violin studies was quite natural. He was also heavily involved with Felix Mendelssohn and the Gewandhaus orchestra in Leipzig, original founded by J.S. Bach. And he was the soloist that premiered Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor. Interesting. Didn't know that until quite recently.

Thanks for recommending her. She is a new artist for me.

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley
Through the middle of my skull
