Popular Post JoeWhip Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 After a long search for this rare gem, it is finally here. Recorded live at the Blue Note by Jim Anderson. He didn’t even know it was ever released on CD. Happy 2021 everyone. Musicophile and Guidof 1 1 Link to comment

Thank you, I did. 🙂 Correct, it should be in a library - mandatory - next to the version from Henryk Szeryng. In general both are my superstars of this aera - in terms of skills, virtuosity and spiritual touch. I have the feeling, the whole world is always talking about Heifetz exclusively. What is true, his hand is moving like a robot, precise, flawless and neverever a single error. WAM 1 Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 IMO Emily King is very reminiscent of Prince, and there is nothing bad about that. She is definitely worth a listen. No electron left behind. Link to comment

Popular Post jiminlogansquare Posted January 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 Great fun to listen to the almost preternatural virtuosity of recorder soloist Maurice Steger on these Vivaldi concerti. How does he do it?! It's not just a speed test, as the virtuosity serves rather than obscures the music, and he can play long notes, too. That said, the quick tempi on some of these might raise an eyebrow. Musicophile and Guidof 1 1 Link to comment

Fasolis has a tendency of ultra high speed also for some of this other albums. jiminlogansquare 1 Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
