Beethoven - Piano Trio No.5 Ghost (The Florestan Trio, Hyperion)
They were simply better than us (again!) and deserved to win Jared, unfortunately!!Jared wrote: I'm personally quite upset you didn't beat the Welsh... after having lived as an Englishman in three different parts of Wales, I'm happy to see anyone beat the Welsh...
I would be interested to read your thoughts on that one Darren. Do you have much conducted by Mengelberg?bombasticDarren wrote:Beethoven - Symphony No.7 (Willem Mengelberg, Concertgebouw Orchestra, Philips)
I have not had one of those in quite a while actually!!Jared wrote: It's been a LvB day today...
The vintage sonics were problematic for me to be honest. Also the reading was too slow for my tastes. It is the only Mengelberg I own and I will probably focus on other conductors in preference over him...fergus wrote:I would be interested to read your thoughts on that one Darren.
