After my daily dose of K563 it was time to look forward (in time) to the wonderful world of Beethoven:

Ludwig van Beethoven
Piano Concero No. 1

BBC Symphony Orchestra
Paul Lewis - Piano
Jiří Bělohlávek conducting.

This is a hugely enjoyable performance of Beethoven's First Piano Concerto, it is a marvellous set of recordings of the piano concertos.

I did not know that Pepe but one could tell that he was a quality instrumentalist.

Good morning Fergus,

Enjoyable listen for me. Reich always appeals to my rock music sensibilities - emphasis on complex rhythms and constantly changing melodic/harmonic structures.

The core of this album is based on some Radiohead tunes and is somewhat more "raw" than the usual Reich fare. The version of electric counterpoint is good but I probably prefer the Metheny version from the 1998 album Different Trains.

Sounds great on the HiFi - production wise and especially the separation of instruments is excellent.

Mark

I must listen to Reich's music. My young lad likes it.

Off topic perhaps: I am not one for rock guitar however, I adore Pat Metheny's music and music-making.
