Hank, I've been a subscriber to BBC Magazine since forever, but I never saw that wonderful CD! Congratulations on a find!Ricordanza wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 6:52 am
My town library has a book sale twice a year, which also includes CDs. So I wandered over there last Friday with the intention of finding one or two CDs and ended up buying five--couldn't resist when the price was $2 per CD (plus three paperbacks @ $1 each). This was the first album I listened to and confirmed my impression from years ago that Tamas Vasary was a superb pianist. I was particularly interested in his rendition of Liszt's Sposalizio since that is a piece I am trying to play again. Emphasis on "trying." I'm not what I was at 18, at the keyboard or elsewhere.
I've three CDs by Vasary, a Chopin that includes some Mazurkas & the Piano Sonata #2, as well as another with the 2 Concerti, then a Liszt collection. He also plays some Martinu on another CD. Very fine, one and all. Would certainly welcome a box from DGG for sure!
