Guy, the Bernstein was OK but I never was warmed nether to his play not to his conducting. Not to mention that his Ravel play always sound to me more like Slav’s dance then the Ravel concerto. Still, I never head Bernstein playing it with Columbia, I...

Hi,I heartfully agree with Romy, Michelangeli is a master playing the Ravel's Piano Concerto in G. A friend told me that Richter was once asked why he never played the Ravel's Concerto and he answered "why bother, Michelangeli already plays...

People know that I am huge fan of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and religiously collect each single note he ever played. What is much less known that Michelangeli was a superbly gifted composer. Well, perhaps not a composer but “harmonizer”.

"During a rehearsal with an orchestra, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli stopped mid-performance, visibly frustrated. The orchestra members were puzzled, as everything seemed to be going well. Finally, Michelangeli exclaimed, “The piano is out of tune!”

As anyone else I have developed my own ways to buy music. Beside any of my current interests, I, for instance, have some conductors who’s recording I buy no mater what: Scherchen, Golovanov, Barbirolli, Bohm.... Among pianists it would be probably th...

Then you shell try also Alfred Cortot and Michelangeli. They are different then Gieseking and it is exactly why they are interesting. Michelangeli is particularly special… The Cat ...

Thanks, I have some Serkin sonatas but none of the #5 by him. I like Beethoven very much, he is one of my favourite composers but I think it's not easy finding versions that bring up all the beauty and character he put into his music. What about...

Hi Romy, Very interesting post. I love that concerto but I can hardly find here anything by Michelangeli and I don't think I ever find that version. Would you send me a copy of that CD?...
|

Double thanks Romy, the recording is really wonderful and everything you said in your first post. It's like listening to Michelangeli playing the whole orchestra and getting the concerto coherent in time and energy. Probably the best version I've lis...

I have some Cortot and some Michelangeli - somewhere - but I am not sure if it includes Debussy, because I have not been able to stay in the room with most of the "Images"-type of Debussy rendered by most artists, most of the time, so I ha...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Do you know of other renditions of this work worth the purchase?[/quote] This concerto is “lucky”, it well-performed and there are many good recordings. Some of my “honorable mentions” would be: Michelangeli with anybody else...

I warmed up this morning my tubes and dived into my shelf with solo piano music fishing for some Bach, to celebrate. I wanted it to be long and beautiful and what might be longer and more beautiful then Well-Tempered Clavier?

Hey, Guy.
The pre-Baltic countries are a nice place to be – quite interesting people in there, although thier women behave like they just were taken out of a freezer. :-) They kind of facially less-reactive and less-responsive than the girls-souther...

The Mozart's latest Piano Concertos are cool and everlasting thing; it is interesting that with all Mozart's Piano Concertos simplicity the capable pianists could really play them well only in the end of their carries. The Mozart's conc...
