jiminlogansquare Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 First I ever heard Winterreise arranged as it is here for baritone and string quartet. I like the results, which make the singer sound more like part of an ensemble than a recitalist standing in a spotlight. Also, the singer happens to be pretty good, as does the quartet, and Channel Classics as usual provides great SQ. Now if they can just explain the cover art ... Link to comment

Didn't have time to get to this one last night, so not exactly an album of the evening, but I really like it too. I've come to prefer artistry over flash in Liszt, but everything seems to be in place here. Musicophile 1 Link to comment

People like him have something you and I don't, but it appears they also lose something as well. botrytis 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment

People like him have something you and I don't, but it appears they also lose something as well. Agreed, though the strangeness can be different in degree, and type. I remember hearing Steven Van Zandt being interviewed a couple years ago about the fact that he had spent all these years working with Bruce Springsteen, and how that compared to the several years he was in the smash hit cable series The Soprano's and worked with the noted director of that series, who later directed Game Of Thrones, and a number of other very successful things. He said something, paraphrasing it as best I recall, to the effect that "Those guys are just different than the rest of us. They aren't like us. Their minds don't work like ours do. They see things we don't, and have the ability and ambition act on them and do whatever it takes." Not sure if I have that word for word, exactly right, but the essence of it is there. No question that the majority of vastly successful and incredibly talented people are indeed different, in more ways than one. JC Link to comment

There were examples of hip hop fans who began their interest in eg classical music after a heart transplant in which the donor was a classical music lover. We are not only brains. And not only brains and hearts.. Maybe I will stop here.. Link to comment
