Best interpretation of La Semaine Grasse
on: January 23, 2016, 06:00:02 AM
Here are some of my favorite interpretations of this wonderful, spontaneous, playful masterpiece. I think Kholodenko totally nailed this one in a recording which is not available on youtube. But a different recording is available, which I will post here. [Edit: the first one is Kholodenko]. Pollini is solid. And the last one is a pleasant surprise. He plays the ending chords very nicely. What are your favorites?
