Alberto Notar: Post pedante →
I could never pick a single Gould album. But if you absolutely forced me. Well. If you absolutely forced me, I would probably have to pick the Byrd-Gibbons album too.

In Anno 1630, un bel cd di Lorenzo Ghielmi spunta un pezzo per organo di Frescobaldi, Aria detto Balletto, che a me sembra molto molto simile, quasi identico alla Allemande (Italian Ground) di Orlando Gibbons...

Beethoven in Bold
This is a bold reading of the Beethoven 3rd Piano Concerto (my favorite of the lot). The piano player is Stefan Litwin, previously unknown to me. I love the tempo he and conductor Michael Gielen take.

Fazil Goes App
I don’t know much about this player, he’s not really in my wheelhouse, as it were. But I admire trying new channels in this post-music, ubiquitous-music world. So Mr Say has an app (built by InstantEncore) and I’m simply taking note.

Benjamin Grosvenor Wigmore Recital
Thanks to Harold Gray on Twitter for his post and link below. Mr Grosvenor is heralded, so says the radio announcer, as the coming thing, though I have no idea what that means in the world of classical piano players. Probably the same thing it’s meant since the time of Liszt. But any opportunity to hear Scarlatti and Mompou lovingly played is worthwhile and that’s just a facto...
