SAGA/ARC Fidelity FDY 2043 Re-issued 1963 (originally: Concert Artist LPA 1079...that LP catalogue deleted almost immediately..)
Recorded: late 1954/early 1955 - Levy's Sound Studios, London ?
The performance/recording is really quite good; especially side 1/the excellent Moscheles cadenza. Slight 'De-Click' applied.

Never heard this one before, but I'm going to give it a shot. Thank you for this offering.
ReplyDeleteNot many have - unless they've a penchant for 10-bob LPs!
DeleteThe only real 'fault' is a plodding Largo; also side 2 was slightly less well dubbed (+ at a lower level: that corrected) but the cadenza has really fine playing - as do the faster movements.
Well worth a try ; the first movement, in particular, I've liked since first hearing this LP...and there's little chance of otherwise hearing this pianist...........
What fascinating reading.
ReplyDeleteBarrington-Coup raises his head yet again?
