Re: GG OT Mozart on Fortepianos

[Jim Morrison <jim_morrison@SPRYNET.COM>]

Levin.  Right.  Thanks for mentioning him, James.  Every since I first
encountered him on the Hanssler Bach series, I've been meaning to check out
his Mozart but someone keep forgetting.  Levin.  Of course.  His Beethoven
Piano Concerti with Gardiner are not to be missed, I think.  I don't have
much Gardiner in my collection (and he and Harnoncourt are probably the most
active recording conductors in the business today, with I'd imagine over 200
discs apiece) but I think this set is one of his best.

Gould's Beethoven Concerti are excellant as well, esp the Fourth.
