Tonight I enjoy tremendously a vengeful recording on EMI Virgin of Schubert’s celebrated Quintet and Variations on "Trockne Blumen". The Schubert is played by French band of Frank Braley, Alois Posch, Renaud Capucon, Gerard Causse, Gautier Capucon. Kill me if I know who they are but I love what they do. It is not the Trout that we know from the mid of the 20 century played but great musician on great instrument. In this French version there is no sight of softness and delicacy. What it has however is very contemporary high-pressure, almost “compressed” interpretation of the Quintet, almost the “Quintet for sale”. However, it rendered so tastefully and so I would say professionally that it is a lot of fun to listen it. I would like more nuances and more shadow phasing but they do not play fragile Schubert but rather “Schubert’s in your face”. If to accept the premise, why not, then this French CD is truly wonderful. I would play /record double bass for ½ db softer but it is me…
Phenomenal music during the snow blizzard….
