great pianists
hi fminor,
anyone interested in talking about the Great Pianist Double set put out a
while ago.
I just got my copy (used at tower again, for 14 dollars)
No bach, beethoven or schoenberg,
very strange
though included is all the byrd/gibbons,
berg sonata
prokofiev 7th sonata
strauss five pieces
three by Scarlatti (how they record industry loves to push those upon us)
Mozart Fantasia and fugue k 394 (the vacuum cleaner fugue!!)
Bizet variations
and 2 Morceaux from Scriabin,
a pretty good collection if you ask me,
if they'd put out another set of all bach beethoven and schoenberg I
wouldn't be complaining.
Liner notes are pretty good (I'll send quotes later, they're worth
circulating)
and also there's a great picture of Gould laying on a sofa that has one of
those transparent plastic protectors on it.
by the way, I've bought a few of these great pianists discs and so far I've
been pleased with them, esp at the tower discount price of 14 bucks for used
ones.
They have a double disc sampler set for 10 bucks (for which Sony would not
authorize any gould recordings, odd.)
bye
