I find myself seriously in love with Cikker's Concertino. Check this clip.
It's OK, I guess
nothing earth-shattering
everything quite attractive
but it all seems to belong in the early part of the last century
where such things were done far better by composers such as Bartók and Szymanowski
but if this kind of thing was the best of which I was capable, I'd think very seriously about shutting up
What are you listening to right now?
Which is approximately when it was written
I can accept Szymanowski
but not Bartok.
I take it we will not hear from you further on the subject then
the second piano concerto
Just discovered this; Alfred Brendel talking about Liszt's Années de Pčlerinage - Premičre Année: Suisse. He talks about the entire book and plays each one, and he's speaking in German (but I still find it very interesting, even though I don't speak German). I am growing this inexplicable interest in Brendel's playing. Yesterday I listened to him playing some Schuberts. There is something that is a different kind of interest for me in him and I can't put my finger on it yet.
Complete and utter horsecrap.
Barenboim/du Pre/Zuckermann plaing the complete works of Beethoven for piano trio.
