Chopin – Piano Concerto No. 1 played by Emanuel Ax, Philadelphia Orch./Ormandy....

Image

The stand out movement for me in this work is the slow movement was full of beauty and is very lyrically played.

"Jordi Savall's rather unique recording of this Bach masterpiece uses a consort of viols...treble, alto (!), tenor, and bass viols and also a consort of winds...cornetto, oboe da caccia, tenor trombone, and bassoon. Some pieces are recorded with strings alone, others with winds alone, and some with both of them. "

An interesting one Dave! I was just reading something recently that said Bach actually did finish The Art of Fugue but that the final section was lost at the engravers!! I can't remember for the life of me where I read that though!

I found this music more engrossing and enjoyable as it progressed.

Chopin – Piano Concerto No. 2 played by Emanuel Ax, Philadelphia Orch./Ormandy....

The music was full of fire and passion in the opening movement. The slow movement was full of brooding and was very lyrically played and the final movement was played with great flair.
