Recordings That You Are Considering

[Madiel]

Thanks! So that confirms which Iberia they used (as I suspected) and probably helps me cross-check some other small pieces.

I've now been able to work out that the 4 "Double Decca" sets of Spanish piano music end up corresponding almost perfectly to 8 and a half albums of de Larrocha released in the 1970s and the first half of the 1980s. Half an album of Scarlatti gets cut out. The way that they line up, I'm now very confident as to which recordings these are.

They're quite scrambled in the compilations compared to the original, but in ways that actually tend to be quite sensible.

I might see what's the cheapest way of getting all or most of the material. It seems that one time all of the double Deccas were combined into a single box, though that might not be easy to find.

And this is just her solo Spanish music. There were orchestral compilations as well...

This is Elgar so I might not get m(any) reply(es), but I'd like to know if this version of the most beautiful violin concerto ever written has been heard here at GMG ?

After hearing her perform the Elgar concerto live a few weeks ago here in my hometown Bruges I bought the cd. I only knew the Nigel Kennedy recording of the 80s until now but Vilde Frang's interpretation is much better. The attention to detail and interaction with the orchestra is just baffling.

That's it: I'm buying it, dammit !!
