Thoughts on Rafal Blechacz's relatively recent disc of the Chopin piano sonatas plus the Nocturne Op. 48 in F# Minor and the Barcarolle? For me, his playing of the sonatas ranks among the finest I've heard. The Barcarolle less so but the one Nocturne is equally among the finest.

Agreed - fabulous performances!! I was so impressed that I bought just about all of his other recordings, including live performances from the Chopin Competition (Warsaw, 2005).

So I played this disc again last night and was once more mesmerized by its impact and its superlative quality. But only another participant has bothered to comment on it. What is up?

I'm very far from being a piano expert, but since you asked:

- Beautiful tone
- Plenty of personality
- But some articulation not ideally clear (for example from 30 seconds
to one minute of Sonata 2)
- Nocturne was impressive
- Barcarolle greatly expressive, but missing the even flow of the waves.

Was wondering if you could be more specific about its other superlative
qualities - it's more than likely I might have just overlooked them!

I agree that it would be interesting to get opinions from other folks here..

You said it well: beautiful (I'd say gorgeous) tone, plenty of personality (rare and difficult to project amid such challenging, true and tried warhorses), an (more than) impressive Nocturne (Op 48 in F# Minor). I detected nothing of the sort regarding the unclear articulation you described in the 2nd sonata but I concur with you on the Barcarolle: It came across to me as the least successful, albeit impressively played. But I found it a bit heavy-handed and missed hearing a more "liquid" interpretation. I have not read the liner notes so don't know if there is something behind it but I wonder what made the producer insert such long pauses between the 3rd and 4th movements of each sonata? Did you notice?

Correction. I had written: "I wonder what made the producer insert such long pauses between the 3rd and 4th movements of each sonata?"
But the long pauses are here:
Sonata #2, between movements III (Marche funèbre) and IV (Finale)
Sonata #3, between movements II (Scherzo) and III (Largo)

Regarding the Sonata in B Minor, I agree completely regarding movements 1 and 2. Truly superlative playing, with fine details of voicing and transparency - masterful use of pedal. I began to be disappointed with movements 3 and 4 where his expressive devices, eg. Slowing down at the top of runs were done too much and too predictably and so they became mannerisms.

This in general is what has marred his playing for me in the past. But this is only my taste. There’s a lot to admire in his playing.

I may need to relisten more attentively, but based on one listening, I join John Gavin in finding the first two movements of the 3rd Sonata to be the most successful parts of the disc, and I too was a little annoyed by those mannerisms particularly in the finale. The 2nd Sonata failed to engage me - I just found it at least the first and fourth movements too cautious and tame compared to what I consider the best versions. The Nocturne is indeed very well played, and I don't find the Barcarolle too bad, either.

Could you elaborate further why you enjoy these interpretations so much, also by comparison to other versions on disc?

I don't know what else to add but that I found them satisfactory beyond measure. And yes, I also detected the somewhat "mannered" final movement of the 3rd sonata (in addition to the lengthy pauses between movements that I wrote about). But the convergence of ravishing sound, filigree, soulfulness and full-bodied delivery captured my senses and attention. That's what a great recording ought to do. Otherwise why bother?

Are those Wagner tubas in the brass section, or some kind of Czech tenor tuba? I'm not sure that the former would have been politically appropriate for a film about Cossacks ...

I wonder if the John Wilson Orchestra and the Sinfonia of London are the same players?

Did you consider that "Hurwitz find" did mean that Killiwoda was discovered by Hurwitz? That it referred to recordings?

Agreed - fabulous performances!! I was so impressed that I bought just about all of his other recordings, including live performances from the Chopin Competition (Warsaw, 2005).

I cannot really think of a best work, as it could vary, but am presently going through Malcolm Arnold's nine symphonies as recorded on Naxos conducted by Andrew Penny (on 5 individual discs). Arnold's orchestration, for what he wanted to portray, is ideal (no orchestral excess), and there is terror mixed with blinding flashes of drop-dead gorgeous tunes. There are hints of Mahler, Sibelius, and Walton, and these are works that are simply far too good to not know. Vernon Handley also recorded a set of these works, as did Richard Hickox.

Did you consider that "Hurwitz find" did not mean that Kalliwoda was discovered by Hurwitz? That it referred to recordings?

Thanks for this! "Hugh Ashton's Ground" is as I always pictured it on
organ. "The Barkley-Break" [sic?] is a rousing opener.

OTOH, the tuning for "My Lady Nevell's Ground" is especially striking
for those not accustomed. Meantone?

Russian also more modal and strong in the lower registers, whereas Welsh stronger in the alto register. Both capable of strong emotional feeling.

Listening to the 1st and 2nd movements is a joy of course, but the last movement always eludes me. Its themes are clearly based off of the opening melody of the first movement, but emotionally the music as a whole never seems to grab me. Does anyone have a recommendation for a recording that includes a "revelatory" reading of this elusive movement in particular, one that brings out what is ostensibly great in it?
> I think maybe you are asking for the wrong thing. This is a movement that moves away from grandiosity and instead sounds more like Dvorak or Schubert, despite some very Brucknerian figurations within the movement. You've named at least three conductors whose manners here are a bad match for the music. Karajan and Celibidache are both generally looking for something epic and powerful- Karajan through extreme dynamics and drama, Celi through breadth. Both tendencies are counterproductive here. Giulini also tends to be broad, and his italiante phrasing is not helpful in this symphony- I say that considering I find his 8 and 9 almost peerless.

His recent SWR box collects some great Bruckner, but the version of this December 1957 recording in the box is in mono. The same performance on VOX is better known and in stereo. Even better than VOX is the release in an oddball collection of Bruckner recordings put out on ZYX. You can get a used copy for under $10. The ZYX team got their hands on a master tape that was even better than what VOX had access to (no idea how, but the sound improvement is easy to spot), so what you have is the best-sounding release of this recording that had yet been offered up to that point- the sound is quite excellent stereo.

Thank you, yes this is helpful. I hear the finales of his other symphonies (the 4th, 5th, and 8th for example) as doing the epic summing up of the previous movements and I suppose I was wanting to hear something similar in the finale of the 7th. It makes me wonder about the balance of the entire 7th symphony, though, having 2 huge, somewhat slow movements, a scherzo, and then ending with a finale that "doesn't dawdle" (as you know it's marked "Bewegt, doch nicht schnell").
I ought to try the Rosbaud recording and thanks for the Amazon link.
This makes me wonder also about other conductors who take Bruckner in a more Schubertian, fleeting style? I guess Harnoncourt would be one.
