I will of course Dave....I am rather looking forward to delving into it!

I'm pleased to be able to say that three new recordings have wended their way Norfolk-ward...

Dvorak: Piano Concerto/ Schubert: Wanderer Fantasy
Richter/ Kleiber (EMI)

Korngold & Goldmark: Violin Concertos
Perlman/ Previn (EMI)

Dvorak & Schumann: Cello Concertos
Du Pre/ Barenboim (EMI)

I'm off on a week's holiday on Sunday, so I'll let you know what I think in a few weeks..

Jared wrote:Mozart: Piano Concertos 20,23,24,26 & 27
Clifford Curzon (Decca Legends 2CD)
Britten & English Chamber (20, 27)
Kertesz & London Symphony (26, 23, 24)


this recently re-released Decca twofer just makes you glad to be alive...

I'll end my thoughts on these disks, just by saying that they should be owned by anyone who enjoys Mozart's orchestral work; these were a real find for me. Curzon's reputation in Mozart was exceptionally strong, although his recorded repertiore in the PCs is quite limited. Here, he demonstrates a masterful lightness of touch and sense of melody which gives these pieces a coherence and accessibility which I don't always hear to this degree in these works... they are a pair of CDs which you could just play around and around for some time without getting tired... do consider buying them.. :-))
