What are you listening to now?

[Madiel]

Various bits of piano at various times this evening...

Schubert, 12 German Dances D.790 (Brendel)
Dvorak, 2 Minuets* (Poroshina)
Prokofiev, Toccata in D minor, op.11 (Raekallio)


*Even contemporary reviewers said they didn't actually sound like Minuets.

Mostly transcription of lute, flute, violin suites and partitas to the harpsicord+the italian concerto

I like Rondeau touch on the harpsicord a lot.  I am interested to hear him on genuine Bach works for the harpsicord.

[aligreto]

Sonata in G major. BuxWV 271
Sonata in A minor. BuxWV 272
Sonata in F major. BuxWV 269

[The new erato]

Definitely an aspect that will divide opinions!  The point of departure here is a primary role for the harpsichord(s), with all other instruments as accompaniment. As opposed to music for chamber orchestra  with a "concertante" role for the harpsichords...

I know and can appreciate that, but I'm still not completely satisfied with the recorded sound, or balance, or whatever. The orchestra (or instrumental accompagnment) isn't recorded transparently enough IMO. I feel that Schoonderwoerds wonderful, and slightly similarly conceived, Beethoven concertos are far more successful in that regard.

Elegant, smooth and refined.  Superb sonics, but I would prefer a bit of bite and grit to the whole thing.  Still, very fine.
